swinstall and codewords

[Ian Warner]

I am trying to install ansi c via swinstall.
I have copied the depot onto my box and received the codeword from hp.

I try to install the software using swinstall, point it to the correct path. However, when I go to 'Actions->Add New Codeword' I get "The menu item you have chosen is not available for the current state of the application."
Heeeelp.

If you have the depot already on the machine, you do not need the codeword. The codeword is really only needed if you are installing from a CD or DVD and you need to unlock the software on the disc.

Ta,

However, if I try the make command with the new compiler, I get

Internal Error: Codeword file $ST_CODEWORD,/opt/ansic/newconfig/ansic.cwd missing or empty.

Ian,

Where did you get the depot from? If you somehow copied it off a HP applications disk, you still need to place that disk in the cd/dvd played and run swinstall to get the codeword in place. If there is no cd/dvd on the system, you can NFS mount it.

Dowloaded a 60 day trial from the HP website.

Ian,

Try,


# swinstall -v -x codeword=XXXXXXXXX -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s /path_to_sw.depot \*

Robert-Jan,

Tried that, swinstall started, said it could not find the depot, added it manualy, swinstall
installed the software, tried a make, exactly the same error message (sound of head banging off keyboard). Anxiously awaiting reply.

Ian,

Did you have the evaluation version installed?

Could you check if there is a file called /var/adm/sw/.codewords ?
if not
# touch /var/adm/sw/.codewords
stop/start the swagentd and try to swinstall again.

A different error message this time -
Internal Error: Corrupted codeword in file /opt/ansic/newconfig/ansic.cwd.
