I am following the how-to instruction to compile wuftp VR17 (./build sol)
using a c++ compiler that
I just loaded, but I get the following error: language optional software
package not installed
                                                            "error code 1"
make:fatal error: command failed for target ftpd.o

Any clue??

Thank you.

Solaris does not come with cc by default, you have to buy it or use gcc.
I compiled the daemon on Solaris with gcc and it works fine.

No idea.  there's a know problem in 'make install' where the test for
directory existance in -e instead of -d but that's not what it looks like
happened here.

I'd suggest using an ANSI C compiler since the daemon is not a C++
program.  Although the message you posted is cryptic enough that anything
would be a quess.

	It means its not finding the complier. That error indicates that
its using /usr/ucb/cc (I think) which if you cat is a shell script doing an
echo.  Make sure the compiler is in the path then "./build CC=CC sol" might
work. (Or CC=???? where ???? is the compiler name, like g++)
