how to install ansic compiler by swinstall ?

[T.J. Yang]

This is the file I downloaded using my subscription account,

B3899BA,r=B.11.02.10,a=HP-UX_B.11.00_32_64.tar

When I untar it, it generated a group of directoris.

bash-2.05a# ls C-ANSI-C/
C C-HELP C-MAN
bash-2.05a# ls catalog/
AudioDevKit C-Dev-Tools ImagingDevKit dfiles
Auxiliary-Opt CDEDevKit WDB
C-ANSI-C DebugPrg WDB-GUI
C-Analysis-Tools INDEX X11MotifDevKit
bash-2.05a#

I tried "swinstall -s /tmp/compiler" but still can't get it going.

In the end I have to fall back to CD media but this took me hours effort to locate 5012-1973 CD and Codeword papers.

Just wondering why installation of HP compiler software is kind of diffcult.

Can anyone advise me how to install compiler software I downloaded from itrc SUM ?


Thanks for your help in advance.

My temp compiler directory is in /opt/compiler.

Following is the error log when I try to run "swinstall -s /opt/compiler \*" command.

"touch /opt/compiler/catalog/swlock" looks doing the trick.

hi tj;

follow these steps:
1- move the *.tar file /tmp
2-extract the tar file
tar -xvf *.tar
3- create depot file with create depot
4- swinstall -s /tmp/
be sure write depot's full path

Just to make sure you understood what Steven was saying. You do NOT untar a SD depot.
You take the file you have and use as root:
swinstall -s $PWD/B3899BA,r=B.11.02.10,a=HP-UX_B.11.00_32_64.tar \*

Aren't there installation instructions there?
