Oracle, gcc and Solaris - solution

Awhile back there were some questions posted with respect to using gcc and oracle on sun Solaris 2.x operating systems. I don't remember seeing any resolutions, but thanks to a co-contractor of mine here at Mobil ( Al Hopper ) we were able to get gcc, Oracle v7.0.16 and Solaris 2.3 to work together happily (so far...).

The following are modified examples taken from the proc.mk makefile supplied in the $ORACLE_HOME/proc/demo directory. only changes we need to make were:

1. Change the compiler: old: RCC=cc -I. -O -xcg92

new:
RCC= gcc -I. -O

2) Modify the line that does the linking: old:
samplec: samplec.c samplec.pc

_at_$(ECHO) $(RCC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ samplec.c $(PROLDLIBS)

new:
samplec: samplec.c samplec.pc

_at_$(ECHO) $(RCC) $(CFLAGS) -Xlinker -u -Xlinker __cg92_libc \

	-L/opt/SUNWspro/SC2.0.1/cg92 /opt/SUNWspro/SC2.0.1/cg92/__fstd.o \
	$(LDFLAGS) -o $_at_ samplec.c $(PROLDLIBS) 

I hope this helps!
