If it wouldn't alarm the people around me in the office, I would be doing the NHD on top of my desk. The fraggin' compiler built cleanly and installed cleanly! <censored> WOOT! <censored> HUZZAH! A LOT of chocolate is going down today!
Now we see what else the requester wanted and didn't think to mention.
What did I learn?
You can't build the utilities in the source directory because they will overwrite the source files in the process.
Build a stage directory, but the tools in there, and then build them again to generate the final target.
The build tools aren't 100% perfect, so if a file is AWOL, go find it and copy it in by hand
Korn shell works, C and sh don't.
Solaris is a nonoptimal place to build GNU software. The libraries stomp on each other.
There are people in LJ who would notice if I took a running jump out the 19th floor window (thank you!)
Next time, let someone else pick up this kind of ticket.

- 30 Nov 2015, 03:18I'm just worn out with sitting in the coldest part of the building (any building), waiting for people to come in for their picture, and finding out they came by two hours after the posted close.

Congrats on the clean build! And may your client be found in silent awe of your l337ness.
Have the best

Have you tried bash (the bourne again shell)?
No reason in particular, just wondering how it works there...
(once I have a capable enough spare computer, I'm thinking of trying to install the OpenSolaris disk I've got to see how it runs things)
I decided to add the Gnu debugger (gdb); it compiled and installed in about an hour and a half. Once you figure out how this mung works, it works OK. The learning curve is a three-legged mongrel b*tch, though.

Congrats on the clean build.
