You will need a working C compiler. Both gcc 2.95.3 and Sun
WorkShop 5 have been tested.

The following packages are required on Solaris 8 for the bootstrap
process and to build packages.

	- SUNWsprot
	- SUNWarc
	- SUNWbtool
	- SUNWtoo
	- SUNWlibm

Please note the use of GNU binutils on Solaris is not supported.

If you are using gcc
--------------------
It makes life much simpler if you only use the same gcc consistently
for building all packages.

See http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html for
binary kits and initial packages, including gcc.

It is recommended that an external gcc be used only for bootstrapping,
then remove gcc and install the pkgsrc binary package.

Binary packages of gcc can be found through
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/common/freewareSearch.html

If you are using Sun WorkShop
-----------------------------
You will need at least the following packages installed (from WorkShop
5.0):

	SPROcc		Sun WorkShop Compiler C 5.0
	SPROcpl		Sun WorkShop Compiler C++ 5.0
	SPROild		Sun WorkShop Incremental Linker
	SPROlang	Sun WorkShop Compilers common components

You should set CC and CXX in /etc/mk.conf, eg.

	CC=		cc
	CXX=		CC

You may also want to build 64-bit binaries, eg.

	CFLAGS=		-xtarget=ultra -xarch=v9


Whichever compiler you use, please ensure the compiler tools and
your $prefix are in your PATH. This includes /usr/ccs/{bin,lib}
and eg. /usr/pkg/{bin,sbin}.

bootstrap-pkgsrc has been tested on Solaris 2.6 -> 9.
