I previously asked how to install the CC compiler earlier, I decide to share my knowledge of how this compiler instead of g++ I installed this compiler because the CC compiler can handle separate template class files. I hope this is useful to some when looking for a separate C / C++ compiler
1. Go to link this and sign up to become a SND member it is free, you need to be a memeber to download the Sun Studio 12 which includes the CC compiler
Link: go to http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/index.jsp
2. Once you sign up at this link download the Sun Studio 12 tar file installer
3. Open your terminal in *nix and log on to superuse and do the following commands
set the .sh file to executable
cd /path of download/
cd SunStudio12u1-Linux-x86-tar-ML
chmod 755 SunStudio12u1-Linux-x86-tar.sh
4.
n Ubuntu or other Debian Linux distribution
cd
home/username/SunStudio12u1-Linux-x86-tar-ML/SunStudio12u1-Linux-x86-tar.sh --accept-license
or cd /path where download of SunStudio 12 is
on Red Hat, Centos or Fedora
su -
cd /opt
/home/username/SunStudio12u1-Linux-x86-tar-ML/SunStudio12u1-Linux- x86-tar.sh --accept-license
exit
cd /path where download of SunStudio 12 is
5. This will begin the installation of Sun Studio 12
6.
on Ubuntu or other Debian Linux distribution
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/sunstudio or path where Sun Studio is installed
sudo ln -s /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC or path where Sun Studio is installed
on Red Hat, Centos or Fedora
su -
cd /usr/bin
ln -s /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/sunstudio or path where Sun Studio is installed
ln -s /opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC path where Sun Studio is installed
exit
7. This creates a symalink in the /usr/bin directory Test CC by doing CC -version
It should now work enjoy!
