C++ Installation Problems

Monte Heeren — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 06:42:12 GMT

Purchased HP C/aC++ Developer's Bundle.
Having trouble installing it. I had the Eval version which I downloaded the Eval depot and installed. I uninstalled the Eval version and now want to install the licensed version I purchased. When I go to the Sofware Update Manager, I see the software. When I click on download, it gives me a tar file to download and not a depot like the eval version. After I down load the tar file, there is no depot file after I untar the file. This is what I see when I untar the file:
ACXX
ACXX.2
AudioDevKit
Auxiliary-Opt
Auxiliary-Opt.2
B9007AA,r=C.11.23.15.2,a=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.tar
C-ANSI-C.2
C-Analysis-Tools
C-Dev-Tools
C-Dev-Tools.2
CDEDevKit
Caliper
CodeAdvisor
CodeAdvisor.2
DebugPrg
HP-Caliper-PMUD
ImagingDevKit
Sentinel
Sentinel.2
WDB
WDB-GUI
WDB-GUI.2
WDB.2
X11MotifDevKit
catalog

This is the tar file name:

B9007AA,r=C.11.23.15.2,a=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.tar

How do I install the C++ software?
I'm on a HP-UX Itanium machine running 11.23.

HI,

Try to install with registered depot software.
Firstly untar the tar file and check depot file then registered ur depot software and install it.

Go to https://www.hp.com/go/swa and install the most recent version of Software Assistant. Then run the following:

1. swa report -a CHAIN=PHCO_36744

2. swa get -t /var/tmp/mydepot

3. Review the report found in /var/tmp/mydepot/readBeforeInstall.txt

4. Install

swinstall -s /var/tmp/mydepot -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true

5. Remove old depot

swreg -u -l depot /var/tmp/mydepot
rm -rf /var/tmp/mydepot

You are imagining things. It IS a depot, you check with swlist(1m).

>after I untar the file.

Do not untar the depot.

>How do I install the aC++ software?

Were there instructions with the download?
================================================================
swinstall -s /path-to-depot/B9007AA,r=C.11.23.15.2,a=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.tar \
B9007AA

>Michael: install the most recent version of Software Assistant.

While this is a good idea, it will not help installing products, just patches.

I forgot to mention you should immediately patch this to the latest A.06.24, PHSS_40630. Also install the latest runtime, PHSS_40543:

Note: A new release A.06.25 should be available in a few months.

Wow! Was able to install the C++ software. The solution was not to untar the .tar file.
I just pointed sam to intall the .tar file.

Now, how do I get my license keys?

Sure would have been nice to have instructions!

>how do I get my license keys?

The purchased product doesn't have license keys, or if it did, you couldn't install it. While the eval compiler does.
If you are getting the compiler from the Application media, it has a codeword.

Have you just tried compiling anything?

I tried to compile a program, but it still says my Eval version is about to expire.

>it still says my Eval version is about to expire.

You removed the Eval compiler completely before installing the real one?
Make sure there isn't anything in /opt/aCC/bin and /opt/aCC/lbin.

Dennis,
I updated all the critical patches and application patches on my box and rebooted.

The compiler seems to be fine now. It compiles programs and does not show the message about the Eval version is ready to expire.
The /opt/aCC/bin and /opt/aCC/lbin dirs still have entries. Should I leave them there or delete them?

Appreciate the help!

Since it is working, you must leave them. That was how you could be sure your swremove worked.
