SunStudio installation and customization

| 11 | 12 |

General remarks

Comprises C/C++ and FORTRAN 90 (cc,f77,f90)

11

Comes as studio11-sol-sparc.tar.bz2 (ca 650MB) when downloaded from Sun. Unpack (1.2GB) e.g.:

mkdir SS11; cd SS11
bunzip2 -c ./studio11-sol-sparc.tar.bz2  | tar -xvf -

Theoretically it should install out-of-the box via

./installer
# or:
./installer -nodisplay

On Solaris 8 and 9, however, it barfs some Java crap. I could only manage the installation via:

cd CD1
./batch_inataller

On Solaris 8 the weirdness goes even further, it barfs

Error:  must be set if running with a Java version prior to 1.4

Now what should I set ?
Inspection of the script tells me it should be $DISPLAY ! Weren't we supposed to run in batch ?
Set $DISPLAY, rerun, but still Java crap.
So no SunStudio for Solaris 8 :-(

12

Requires a DVD drive due to the size of the distribution. Installation requires 1.4GB on disk.
Mount the CD, say on /cdrom, then

./installer

should give a straightforward installation.
