[comp.lang.c++] C++ on Sun 3/280

mschedlb@hawk.ulowell.edu (Martin Schedlbauer) (05/12/89)

Hello,

After failing to install ATT C++ 1.21 on the Stellar, I've moved on
to try my luck on a SUN 3/280. But, on that machine I've only a little
more luck. Here's my problem:

0) I install the bsd.fix.

1) I can make scratch and I indeed get a cfront, munch and libC.a
which basically work.

2) I compile any program and I get a memory fault error from, I
conjecture, the loader ld. I assume so, because compiling a C++
program with the -c switch produces a .o file and no error. Thus,
what on earth is a memory fault. Note that my memory limits are
unlimited (I checked with limit).

3) Making the real compiler from the bootstrap produces a cfront
that hangs, but doesn't crash (no errors, just hangs.)

4) I have installed a patch that circumvents load errors when
trying to access location 0 in the files expand.c and expand..c.


Can anyone who has C++ running on the SUN please help me out. I
need to get this software running on some machine that is faster
than a MicroVAX II.

	thanks 1E06,
	...Martin
