I was trying to build matplotlib 0.99.0 as part of Sage http://www.sagemath.org/
on a Sun Blade 2000 workstation running Solaris 10 update 7, using the Sun Studio compiler version 12.1 (not gcc). CC and CXX were defined properly as C and C++ compilers, but it would appear that the C compiler is being called to compile the file src/ft2font.cpp, which is of course a C++ file. You might get away with this with gcc, but the Sun C compiler will not compile C++ code. Here's the error I get: /opt/xxxsunstudio12.1/bin/cc -DNDEBUG -O -xcode=pic32 -DPY_ARRAYAUNIQUE_SYMBOL=MPL_ARRAY_API -I/export/home/drkirkby/sage/gcc32/sage-4.1.2.alpha2/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I/usr/sfw/include -I/usr/sfw/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I. -I/export/home/drkirkby/sage/gcc32/sage-4.1.2.alpha2/local/include/ -I/export/home/drkirkby/sage/gcc32/sage-4.1.2.alpha2/local/include/python2.6 -c src/ft2font.cpp -o build/temp.solaris-2.10-sun4u-2.6/src/ft2font.o cc: No valid input files specified, no output generated error: command '/opt/xxxsunstudio12.1/bin/cc' failed with exit status 1 This is recorded in the Sage trac as: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7028 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
