Life is even easier if you use the version of the gcc compiler
installed in the cygnus locker, which also contains g++ and various
gnu compiler utilities, for Sun, RS/6000, and DECstation. The version
of gcc is slightly newer than the version of gcc installed on the
Sun/Solaris packs, and the startup scripts already do the right
things. From the Athena prompt, just do:
athena% add cygnus
athena% /mit/cygnus/gcc <filenames, options, etc.>
You will probably want to use the path prefix as I indicated above,
since there are other versions of gcc located in various lockers on
Athena (and this also applies to any make files you write). There is
a file called "README.athena" in the top level of the cygnus locker
that describes the contents and how they are organized.
