Development Tools

The only compiler that should be used to compile SunOS 5.7 device drivers is the unbundled Sun C compiler, Sun WorkShop Compiler C 4.2. See Chapter 15, Loading and Unloading Drivers for information on how to compile and load a driver. Note that the compiler's bin directory (possibly /opt/SUNWspro/bin) and the supporting tools directory (/usr/ccs/bin) should be prepended to the PATH. When compiling a driver, use the -Xt and -D_KERNEL options.

When building a loadable driver module from the object modules, use ld(1) with the -r flag.
