Note that for the LINUX, the DGUX and the DYNIX systems, there are no
GNU C packages.
II - Install from CD-ROM.
---------------------------
Mount the CD-ROM device on your system (see your system documentation). Go into
the OS/UNIX directory of the CD-ROM. Now you are able to run one of three
scripts.
The install script is a bourne shell script. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE SCRIPT.
To install the Informix Dynamic 4GL by type:
------------------------------------------------
$ /bin/sh ./install.sh [ -t path ] PRODUCT_TYPE
The flag "-t" is used only to specify the path to a temporary directory
if the tmp or $DBTEMP directory have less than 10 Mb free space.
PRODUCT_TYPE: - compiler: For the development version.
------------- - runtime : For the runtime version.
Example: I would like to install the development version. So, I must type
-------- the following command: /bin/sh install.sh compiler
Now, I would like to install the runtime version, but my tmp
directory is too small. Of course, the specified directory for the
temporary directory must have the right 0777. In this case, I can type
the following command: /bin/sh install.sh runtime -t /usr1/tmp
To install another package:
---------------------------
Install the Tcl/Tk package by type: /bin/sh ./insttcl.sh -i
Install the Gnu C compiler. For this package, you must be root to install.
/bin/sh ./installgcc.sh -i
III - Install without using a CD-ROM device.
--------------------------------------------
Perhaps your Unix system doesn't have a CD-ROM drive. You need to either
copy self-extracting files onto your system or download the necessary files.
1 - The self-extract file:
--------------------------
The self extract file contains all necessary files to install a package.
Copy from the CD-ROM the self-extracting file
corresponding to the product type you want to install. All self-extracting
files are located in /<Mounted directory>/OS/UNIX/<OS>/SELFEXTR
Product type: - For the Development version choose: COMPILER.SH
------------- - For the Runtime version choose : RUNTIME.SH
BE CAREFUL, do not forget to transfer the files using binary type.
Run the self-extract file: /bin/sh [COMPILER.SH | RUNTIME.SH] -i
--------------------------
2 - Using a copy: To install, you must copy several files used by the
----------------- install script.
- The install script:
- install.sh <--- To install Informix Dynamic 4GL.
- insttcl.sh <--- To install the TCL/TK
- instgcc.sh <--- To install the Gnu C compiler.
- The resource file:
The resource file contains the complete list of files
to install. These files are located in
<Mounted directory>/OS/UNIX/<OS>/TLB
<OS>-DEV.TLB : for the compiler.
<OS>-RTE.TLB : for the runtime.
<OS>-DEMO.TLB : for the demo.
<OS>-TCLTK.TLB : for the Tcl/Tk.
<OS>-GCC.TLB : for the Gcc.
- The package file : (****)
The package file is:
- COMPILER/F4GL.TGZ : for the compiler.
- RUNTIME/RTF4GL.TGZ : for the runtime.
- DEMO/DEMO.TGZ : for the runtime.
- GNUC/GCC.TGZ : for the Gnu C compiler.
- TCLTK/TCLTK.TGZ : for the Tcl/Tk.
These files are required, but you must also copy other
files like gzip and tar.
Copy all files on the target machine in the same directory and then run
the install script.
