Title: RE: RE: Problem building freetds --- gcc location

Hi James
I have tried with setting CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc    , it did not work.
As advised, I have given a portion of the  output of the configure command here:
Please take a look and advise.
Thanks much

*************************************
Venkat,

See line 869 or so of configure:

Some influential environment variables:
CC C compiler command
CFLAGS C compiler flags
LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
nonstandard directory <lib dir>
CPPFLAGS C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
CPP C preprocessor

I think this might output of a more recent version of autoconf, but is $CC
set to anything, and/or does setting it to /usr/local/bin/gcc help?

If you post the 20 or so lines of configure's output leading up to the first
error, that might shed some light on what's going on. script(1) is your
friend here.

Regards,

--jkl

Hi John
I do have root on this server.
I did install gcc at /usr/local/bin.  And the PATH variable was set to include the /usr/local/bin/ directory also.   But, the "configure"   script of  free-tds does not seem to recognize this gcc.  I am  looking at the log file,  and there are entries as given below:

configure:992: checking whether the C compiler (cc  ) works
configure:1008: cc -o conftest    conftest.c  1>&5
.......
The above log entries indicate that configure is trying to use "cc" instead of "gcc",  is this right?
Can you suggest what could be going wrong here and how can I point configure to  locate gcc.
One more point is that I have 2 versions of perl running on this system. One is 4.0 and the other is 5.6.1.  Does this cause any issue?

Thanks
Venkat

Venkat,
I assume you have root on this server. If you don't already have gcc
installed, then you might consider installing it in /usr/local. I've not
installed gcc for a while, but I think that is the default location.
Regardless of where you install it, make sure the PATH environment variable
is set to look in /usr/local/bin, or whatever ~/bin dir you install it in.

The FreeTDS Makefile generated by the Makefile.PL will use this path to find
gcc.

Subject: [freetds] Problem building freetds --- gcc location



Hi All,

I am building freetds on HP box.

Where should I install the gcc?
Is it supposed to be available in a specific location with reference to the
freetds files?

When I give the "make" command, it is failing.

Looks like it is unable to detect the presence of gcc?
Do I need to set any variable to indicate the location of gcc?

Please advise

Thanks in advance
Venkat
