OT: Sco 5.0.7 gcc/make

[Brian K. White]

The simplest is to install the compiler & linker package from the 507 
install disk, and then the mp5 update from the supp5 cd.

Both disks are at the bottom of this page, the last two ISO's on the page.

You will still likely have difficulties.
The first and smallest problem is just that a lot of things don't just 
build without some porting. But usually the changes are fairly easy to 
track down from whatever errors are generated.

The more difficult problem is that Perl modules can be pretty hairy to 
build and then later to run, because usually you have to build them with 
the same environment that was used to build the rest of the perl 
installation that they will run in, and I *think* the stock Perl was 
built with the stock compiler, and when you try to build a module with 
the gcc environment, you either can't build it or you can't run it, 
unless you want to try to build and install a whole separate perl 
installation, or buy a license for the stock compiler.

I might be misremembering how bad the problem is and it might all work 
out ok so go ahead and try, but just a heads up to be ready to accept 
that this might be non-trivial even after you get a working gcc to hello 
world. I never even tried to build a perl module the whole time I was 
porting and building gnu stuff on sco.
