You are somewhat misguided.

*should* work.
In theory. How do you know? You don't. There is no published public test
report on it. Therefore you go on blind faith and trust in the absence of
data. In essence, you don't really know what you are talking about.
> GCC from gnu.org *may* not work, if OpenSolaris put back code to make it
work on OpenSolaris and the changes haven't been committed to the main
code, then getting the code from gnu.org may not work.
whoa
Slow down there.
Are you saying that someone inside Sun made modifications to the GCC
release from GNU and did not publish the mods? Is that what you are
saying?
Let me educate you.
1) The GNUC Compiler Collection ( the new name for GCC ) is an open source
compiler.
2) Because it is open source you ( or anyone ) can get the sources.
3) Once you have the sources you can then compile it.
4) Once done with the compile you can run a testsuite on it.
5) Once you have the testsuite reports in your hand you can then determine
if you like the results.
Once you do that, you have the GCC compiler on your system. It is then the
*offical* GCC compiler and you built it and you have the test results in
front of you. It is not blind faith. You don't have to assume it works
because you will know exactly what the situation is.
That is the beauty of an open source compiler.

want

Again you need some education.
Let me show you a build directory on my one of my systems here :

Those are all open source pieces compiled from the actual *official*
sources and all done with Sun Studio 12 or with GCC.

======================
All 101 tests passed
(2 tests were not run)
======================
See that ?
I made it from the sources and then ran a testsuite on it and then knew
that the real thing was done and running just fine.
That is one piece in the software stack and once done I can then use it,
in a more or less trusted manner, to build other things.
> Therefore, generally the standard repo should be the first port of call
for installing anything, surely?
No.
In an open source world with an open source project running open source
software the first place to look is the SOURCE CODE.
Go read that five times until you get it completely.
If you do not want to build software yourself ( like the Linux From
Scratch project or OpenSolaris(tm) ) then you must begin a process of
blind faith, trust, unknown leaps and ranting about official packages.
Go get the source.
Build it yourself.
You will thank me later for the education and the fact that in an open
source world you don't need to live in mystery about something working on
your computer or not. That was one of the things Stallman talks about and
I agree. You own the computer in front of you. You have the source code.
You can do what you please and if you make changes you can post them
upstream. You can gain from others work and share your work. You can both
contribute and use.
At least that is the official idea.
Seriously .. please go build some open source software yourself. It isn't
that tough and you will learn a lot. Start with GNU make and just install
it into /usr/local. Nothing fancy.
Here, let me get you started :
* * * DO THIS EXERCISE * * *
1) go see http://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/make/
2) download http://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/make/make-3.81.tar.gz
That is the latest rev when I wrote this. GNU make does not change
often. Some change when the wind changes. YMMV.
3) As root do this :
# mkdir -m 1777 /usr/local
That will allow you ( or anyone ) to drop things in there. If you want
to restrict ownership to just you then fine. This is just a teaching step.
Don't build software as root unless your crazy.
That is just my advice.
4) Use some OS and an existing compiler. I don't care if it is Linux or
Solaris or SCO OpenServer. I really don't. Debian is nice. BeleniX is
awesome. You do need some sort of C compiler however. Welcome to a chicken
and egg world. This is why I whine about the OpenSolaris distros not
having GCC ready to run.
5) as you, NOT as root, in your home dir make a directory called src and
another called build. Just do this :
$ mkdir $HOME/src $HOME/build
6) put that tarball for GNU make into $HOME/src
7) cd to $HOME/build
8) If you have Jörg Schilling's star ( vastly superior to tar ) then do
this :
$ star -x -z file=$HOME/src/make-3.81.tar.gz
otherwise you're stuck with this old crap :
$ gzip -dc $HOME/src/make-3.81.tar.gz | tar -xf -
Make your life easy and make an environment var called SRC that points to
$HOME/src or where-ever. A nice common public NFS share is nice too.
So this is what I se here :
$ star -x -z -time file=$SRC/make-3.81.tar.gz
star: 593 blocks + 0 bytes (total of 6072320 bytes = 5930.00k).
star: Total time 3.242sec (1829 kBytes/sec)
mmmkay ?
9) cd into the make-3.81 source dir
$ cd make\-3.81/
$ pwd
/export/home/dclarke/build/make-3.81
10) Setup some environment vars before you compile. You don't have to set
a whack of stuff like I do but its nice to have some CFLAGS and know what
LC_foo is and maybe CC and CXX :
EDITOR=/usr/xpg4/bin/vi
GZIPBIN=/opt/csw/bin/i386/gzip
HOME=/export/home/dclarke
LANG=C
LC_ALL=C
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_CTYPE=C
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=C
LC_NUMERIC=C
LC_TIME=C
PAGER=/usr/xpg4/bin/more
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/ssl/bin:/opt/studio/SOS12.1/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/opt/schily/bin
SHELL=/sbin/sh
VISUAL=/usr/xpg4/bin/vi
I sometimes set a whole pile of flags but you can at least set a few ..
like what CPU are you making this binary for ? 64 bit or what ?
$ which cc
/opt/studio/SOS12.1/SUNWspro/bin/cc
$ CC=cc
$ export CC
$ CXX=CC
$ export CXX
$
$ $CC -V
cc: Sun C 5.10 SunOS_i386 Patch 142363-05 2010/04/28
usage: cc [ options] files. Use 'cc -flags' for details
$ $CXX -V
CC: Sun C++ 5.10 SunOS_i386 128229-08 2010/04/21
Usage: CC [ options ] files. Use 'CC -flags' for details
$ LD_OPTIONS=\-R/usr/local/lib\ \-L/usr/local/lib
$ export LD_OPTIONS
$
$ CPPFLAGS=\-I/usr/local/include
$ export CPPFLAGS
$
$ CFLAGS=\-m32\ \-xstrconst\ \-xildoff\ \-xarch=pentium_pro\ \-xnolibmil\
\-Xa\ \
> \-Kpic\ \-xregs=no%frameptr\ \-xlibmieee\ \-g\ \-Qy\ \-xs\ \
> \-xdebugformat=dwarf\ \-D_TS_ERRNO
$ export CFLAGS
Do the same sort of thing with CXXFLAGS if you wish and then use echo $foo
to verify these things :
$ echo $CFLAGS
-m32 -xstrconst -xildoff -xarch=pentium_pro -xnolibmil -Xa -Kpic
-xregs=no%frameptr -xlibmieee -g -Qy -xs -xdebugformat=dwarf -D_TS_ERRNO
$ echo $CXXFLAGS
-m32 -xarch=pentium_pro -norunpath -KPIC -xnolibmil -xnolibmopt
-xregs=no%frameptr -R/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
-L/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib -g -xs -D_TS_ERRNO
Go get the Sun Studio 12 update 1 C Users manual and read the section on
compiler options to know what those all do.
You can probably get away with these :
CFLAGS=\-m32
export CFLAGS
CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
export CXXFLAGS
But the test results will tell you in the end of this thing.

The system uptime program believes the load average to be:
uptime
6:48pm up 18 day(s), 17:15, 1 user, load average: 0.99, 0.39, 0.21
The GNU load average checking code thinks:
./loadavg
1-minute: 0.992188 5-minute: 0.390625 15-minute: 0.210938

There you go. You have a test report of some kind that says that the
authors of the software are happy with the binary you just cooked up.
You can now run "make install" if you choose. That binary and other bits
related to it will go into /usr/local and you can now use it and trust it.
Or not.
You have a choice.
Personally I'd just install it and then stick /usr/local/bin in my path to
use it but that is me.

That was easy and educational and official.
That is open source.
If you don't like what that binary does then you can look in the sources
and figure out why. It isn't hidden or secret. You can get on a maillist
and ask questions about it.
You can even post a bug report. With luck the bug report will stay in the
public and not shuffled of off to some internal bug report system. Go see
Bug ID: 6964464 in SunSolve to see what I mean. That was about OpenSolaris
and it should have stayed on defect.opensolaris.org but it was moved by a
corporate employee and now I can not comment on it or work on it. That is
not the spirit of open source.
What I am trying to say here is that there is no such thing as *official*
software packages in an open source world. You either trust the binary you
made or the one someone else makes. Or not. You either trust the test
reports which should be public and available. You can look into the
package manifests and see what is being dumped into *your* computer.
See stuff in :
http://www.blastwave.org/jir/pkgcontents.ftd?software=libgcrypt&style=brief&state=5&arch=i386
If you don't trust what I release then go elsewhere and trust someone
else. However, in an open source world you are doing it wrong if you don't
at least try to make the software from the sources yourself. Once.
Like the GCC compiler for example :
$ ls /usr/local/gcc4
bin include info lib libexec man share
$ /usr/local/gcc4/bin/gcc --version
gcc (Blastwave.org Inc. Tue May 4 18:49:38 GMT 2010) 4.4.4
Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
That thing has a published public test report.
The moment you hand over total control and trust to some corporation
somewhere you lose the idea and the spirit behind open source. Really,
after over five years I would expect by now that a person can get the
sources for OpenSolaris(R) and just build it.
Well you can't.
Chunks are closed, proprietary and they are never going to be made open.
Someone somewhere has to rewrite, re-invent and release a whole new i18n
bits. Who knows what else.
At the very least you can make your own software to run on it. You can
make your own packages if you wish. You can do lots of things.
Just don't forget that the source code is the offical real thing.

ps: libgcrypt 1.4.6 released about an hour or so ago. There will be a
package available from Blastwave later today. It will have been tested on
Solaris 8 and 9 and 10 and on Sparc and i386 and 64-bit AMD64.
You don't have to trust it either. :-)
