Greetings. I'm once again picking up a project that I left off on now that Sun's site has updated the downloadble ISOs for Solaris 8 Intel to the 04/01 version. In the past I've gotten a decently customized install and had GCC and some other essentials loaded, but I can never seem to hunt down all the GNU utilities that I need. The one that comes to mind off the top of my head is 'ar', which is part of binutils, and I can't compile binutils as it needs 'ar'. I've scoured www.sunfreeware.com to no avail (though there is some great stuff on there that I always snag), nor is there a version on my system already. Any ideas? Brian J.

Why use GNU binutils? Just install the Solaris 8 SUNWbtool and/or SUNWbtoox (64-bit) packages. They install the toolchain utilities in /usr/ccs/bin which GCC needs to create binaries.

Thanks, I think I meant "or equivalent" with the equivalent being preferable, it was just badly phrased. -b
