C/ANSI C Developer's Toolkit

[Mark Stewart]

I used swinstall to install the C/ANSI C toolkit from our applications CD(we decided to go ahead and buy it, rather than use the gnu stuff). Since I have relatively little experience isntalling software on HPs, I had a couple other questions. I wanted to install the CDE and X11 portions of it as well, but the swinstall program said I was missing some components. Are these located elsewhere on the application CD, or is it ok to just got ahead and install them? Thanks!

Hi Mark,

If you install the software without installing the dependencies, the programs will not work.

If you mounted the CD (any one) on the system, go to the mounted directory and look for CD_TABLE_OF_CONTENTS. You will find all the softwares available on Application CDs. Depending on what your swagentd.log complains about prerequisites, you can search for them in that file, find the corresponding CD and install by mounting the corresponding CD. Most of the times, the dependencies are located in the same CD.

What components did it say you were missing? What were the error messages?

I installed that about a month ago and went out and looked at the swinstall.log

Initially it said it was missing quite a few items and that they would be checked during the analysis phase.

Analysis found all needed components and installed wonderfully.

Did you go thru analysis or just look at the errors when you selected the product?

Thanks y'all. I had only looked at the errors that occured when I selected them for install. I ran the analysis portion on these items and they were able to be installed successfully with no problems. I tested it out and it seemed to come out fine. Thanks!

one small snag i've come across while testing this new cc out.. everytime i compile some code, it reports the following warning:

cc: 487: warning: Possibly incorrect message catalog.

Any idea what might be causing this? Did I not install or change something I should've? Thanks!

The warning about "Possibly incorrect message catalog" is caused by having NLSPATH set, but not having
/opt/ansic/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat:/opt/ansic/lib/nls/msg/C/%N.cat
in the NLSPATH value. You can either unset NLSPATH or add those paths to it. See "man environ" for documentation of NLSPATH.
