Install depot question from Software Porting And Archive Centre For HP-UX

[Ratzie]

I downloaded a depot file from the Software Porting And Archive Centre For HP-UX.

How do I install a depot file when it asks me to to a./configure and gmake.

I gunzip the file and now just have the depot.
What do I do next...

[Steven E. Protter · Accepted solution]

Wait, if you downloaded a depot.

swinstall -s /ful_path_of_depot \*

Installs the depot.

If it requires a boot...

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x reinstall=false -s /ful_path_of_depot \*

just gunzip before you start.

Laura,

If you downloaded a depot and not the source, you should be able to just swinstall it.

The following command should work:

swinstall -s /full_path/software.depot

assuming that full_path is the directory where the software.depot file resides.

I downloaded ...
libiconv-1.9-sd-11.00.depot.gz

Is this a source depot?

[Ken Penland_1]

yes, just gunzip the file, then swinstall it like they mentioned above...
