Java Development Kit 1.1.7B for SCO Operating Systems
The Java Development Kit (JDK) for SCO Operating Systems TM
is a powerful development and execution environment that is portable, object-oriented,
platform independent, and especially well-suited for developing Internet-enabled
applications.
The JDK includes both the execution environment needed to run Java applications
and the basic development environment tools needed to build Java applications.
The JDK 1.1.7B web download contains the following improvements
over JDK 1.1.7A:
-
restoration and improvement of the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler
-
a number of fixes and performance
improvements to the JDK 1.1.7
-
upgrading to the Sun 1.1.7B baseline
System Requirements
The SCO JDK 1.1.7B will run on SCO UnixWare 7, UnixWare 2.1.3 and
OpenServer Operating Systems with details for each platform specified
below:
UnixWare 7
Software: UnixWare 7.1.1, or UnixWare 7.1.0,
with required PTFs (see the
JDK 1.1.7B
Release Notes)
RAM: 32MB minimum; 64MB recommended
Disk Space: 15MB to 132MB free disk space depending on which
packages are installed
UnixWare 2.1.3
Software: SCO UnixWare 2.1.3 with the
version 7.1.1 UW2compat module installed (see below)
RAM: 32MB minimum; 64MB recommended
Disk Space: 52MB free disk space
OpenServer
Software: SCO OpenServerTM Release 5.0.2,
5.0.4 and 5.0.5

RAM: 32MB minimum; 64MB recommended
Disk Space: 52MB free disk space
Installation
Once you have downloaded the product files from the Download page, perform
the following steps as root:
-
Move the files to a preferred installation directory, for
example:
mv P*.tar /tmp or
mv D*.tar /tmp
- Change to the installation directory:
cd /tmp
- Extract the files. This command must be performed on each file
individually.
tar xvf <filename>.tar
- Concatenate the resulting files as follows:
cat jdk1 jdk2 > jdk117.ds.Z
cat jdkpls1 jdkpls2 jdkpls3 > jdk117pls.ds.Z
- Uncompress the files:
uncompress *.Z
- If you are installing the JDK on either OpenServer or Unixware 2.1.3 systems,
you should first determine if you have the correct version of the compatibility
module for that platform. To do this, enter (where module name is either
OSRcompat or UW2compat):
pkginfo -l <module name>
If there is no compatibility module installed, or you have an older version,
you can download the latest version from the SCO Download page. To remove an
older version, enter:
pkgrm <module name>
To install a new compatibility module, extract and uncompress the file as described above
and enter:
pkgadd <module name>
NOTE:
If you are installing the JDK on UnixWare 2.1.3, before you can remove the
UW2compat module, you will need to remove ptf4001. The latest version of
this PTF is also available for download. Please see the Getting Started
pages for the UW2compat module.
- Install the packages as described in the
JDK 1.1.7B
Release Notes:
pkgadd -d /tmp/jdk117.ds
pkgadd -d /tmp/jdk117pls.ds
- When you you have completed the installation, you will
probably want to remove the download packages from the
/tmp directory, as they are rather large.
