There was some thought about creating a /usr/compilers symlink and having the /usr/bin links go through that symlink. Similar to the way /usr/java works. But that's mostly an orthogonal issue. There would always be another well-known path under /opt. Also on Linux, we have a default path like /opt/sun/sunstudio11. So we'll probably retain some sort of well-known path under /opt.
Using a symlink like /usr/compilers sounds like a better performing scheme than using a wrapper and an environment variable. We could also stop short of the /bin symlinks and add /usr/compilers as a symlink, and then tell people to add /usr/compilers to their search path. We'll be compared against other precedents on Solaris and we'll also be compared against other precendts on Linux. But Linux has a one-compiler-to-rule-them-all scheme which doesn't really give us many ideas for how to deal with multiple compilers at once. --chris _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
