Hello Sun Mgrs.

Are there recommendations out there for C compilers for Solaris 1.x/2.x?
any info on marketed products, as well as any public domain stuff would
be greatly appreciated. I'll summarize.

Thanks.

I received multiple responses, With Cygnus Software's gcc the hands down
winner. Thanks to the following:

Aydin Edguar edguer@alpha.CES.CWRU.edu
Peter Shipley shipley@tfs.com
Wojtek Sylwestrzak wojsyl1@appli.mimuw.edu.pl
Ian Lumb ian@vortex.yorku.ca
Susan Thielen thielen@irus.uwo.ca
Perry Hutchison Perry_Hutchison.Portland@xerox.com
                     strombrg@hydra.acs.uci.edu

Here is the general consensus:

1. gcc - Cygnus Software, available on Catalyst CDware, volume 4, as well as
   prep.ai.mit.edu, aeneas.mit.edu, and ftp.uu.net. Possibility of a g++
   compiler here, or on it's way also. Support is available for a fee from
   Cygnus. gcc also produces code compatible with 68xxx and 80x86
   platforms.

2. Sun's C Product; contact Dwayne @ 508-442-0723 (SunPro).

3. Centerline Software; call (800)NOW-CNTR for a free demo tape.

4. There was also mention of a multi-processor version in the works from
    FSF, for Sloaris 2.x.

Thanks for the help!
