[Sbcl-devel] compiling sbcl on solaris

[Harold G. <ga...@so...>]

Which version of gcc is used for creating sbcl x86 binaries for solaris?

Recent versions of gcc, at least the binary from sunfreeware.com,
use the sun assembler. This fails to make sbcl because it doesn't
like some assembler directives it finds. I recall that I was able to  
compile
sbcl in the past when gcc, (g++?) and gas were used instead of the  
sun tools.

Is this the way to go? -

1. get the current gcc binary from sunfreeware.com
2. use that to make an earlier version of gcc

If so, which version of gcc should I make?
Is there a binary available for a gcc that will compile sbcl
on solaris 10?

Finally, can someone point me to a book or a site that might
help me develop an understanding of how to translate the assembler
files in the sbcl sources into something that the sun assembler/linker
will accept?

Thanks,
Harold
