Where the $!@$#$#$ is gcc for Openserver 6 ???

I have spent more than 3 days looking on the net and on the SCO site
for some mystical "Open Source Toolkit" mentioned on the
documentation, this is like trying to find the holy grail.. all i need
is gcc for Openserver 6.... i dont have a CD with that label on my SCO
OpenServer 6 box..

Whare can i download a woking gcc compiler for SCO OpenServer 6 ? i
need it badly.. and the SCO Site is a real mess..

yes i tried Skunkware (BTW SCO ftp skunkware site don't work, i have
to use ftp.zenez.com) no gcc packages on the OpenServer 6 section.

No one works at SCO or what ??

Please.. i dont care what version of gcc i just need to compile some
legacy code that only compiles and runs fine with gcc..

There is no gcc for SCO OpenServer 6. You could possibly try the UnixWare
one but it may not work. You could try to build it. Rumors have it that
SCO was working on one, but with the Law Suit, they have not announced one
for OpenServer 6.

All most all code can be made to work. There are tricks. If you download
the presentations from last years forum. There are tricks and tips to do
it.

Good Luck,

I just can't belive it.. No gcc for openserver 6.

And no one outside SCO has ported a gcc version to OpenServer 6 ?
This don't seems right, do they keep selling Unix at the "new" SCO ?
i just can't belive it.

That's 'no pre-built gcc fo OpenServer 6'. You can buy a compiler license for
OpenServer 6 and try to build your own gcc, right?

Do you need OpenServer 6? OpenServer 5.0.7 has gnutools from Skunkware, which
was pretty good if already rather out of date.

Are you compelled to use OpenServer 6? Can you put a server on Linux or
Solaris or a BSD flavor in front of your OpenServer box to run whatever you
needed gcc for?

Note that SCO is *getting out of the business* of operating systems. They've
moving over to mobile phone applications, especially with their bankruptcy and
Novell's successful lawsuits against them over ownership of AT&T SysV UNIX, on
which SCO based its barratrous lawsuits against Linux companies.

I was able to install gcc for Unixware 7.0.1 (from skunkware) in
Openserver 6.0... so far so good.. it works (now Openserver is SVR5
same as Unixware... or Unixware is now OpenServer ... or ... well, you
get the idea).

I make some simple compile tests with that compiler and it works.. at
least for the application that i need it works, don't know if you can
compile a newer version of GCC with it..

I am running 2.95.3, that I compiled. I had a gcc-3.x but my HD
crashed/got erased before I had a backup so I lost all my changes. The
system died a horible death because of it.

It is unfortunate that your servers are being hammered, because your
ftp site is an invaluable resource regarding the Law Suit. SCO has
deleted many embarrassing files from its site because they contain the
very code that they allege infringe its copyrights. At least one file
that is prominently mentioned in one of IBM's summary judgment
motions. These files would be lost forever, except that your mirror
site has faithfully kept a copy of them. Many thanks!
