I am having difficulty trying to install the GCC compiler in SCO, but can’t get it to work.
I have used an FTP to transfer some files (.tar.gz) to /u/test/installgnu/ and I extracted the files, but that is really the furthest I got.
I had a look at this post: How do I install GCC on a system with no compiler?, but that doesn’t help as SCO is very different to linux (well it is to me).
Here is the list of the files I downloaded from an FTP site: Skunkware/osr5/devtools/gcc/. So looking at those, I downloaded them all, and into the machine. But now I don’t know where to go from here.
I am running SCO OpenServer 5.0.7

Method 1
gcc-98q2-dist.tar.gz contains a GCC installation image, that is, a tarred-up installation of GCC. All you need to do is untar it to the root directory:
cd / tar xzvf gcc-98q2-dist.tar.gz
But I hope you won’t be using a GCC version from 1998. gcc-2.95.2pl1-dist.tar.gz seems to be a tad newer, but still old (1999). Anyway, if you need a newer version, you can bootstrap it with that compiler.
