I believe that this directory is created by installing the SparcWorks compiler (which is the officially supported compiler). __fstd.o is also shipped in $ORACLE_HOME/lib, because this same problem exists on Solaris for Cobol, for example. And most Cobol shops don't have C, so the library is shipped as part of the Oracle distribution for exactly this reason. I think that Oracle got special permission from Sun to do this, by the way. And the above changes should probably be made to the .pc: target of proc.mk as well, otherwise they will only apply for the samplec program. Received on Sat Oct 08 1994 - 21:05:16 CET
