Getting Started
Java Development Kit 1.1.7A for SCO OpenServer systems
The Java Development Kit (JDK) for SCO Operating Systems TM
is a powerful development environment that is portable, object-oriented, platform independent, and especially well-suited for developing Internet-enabled applications. The JDK includes the Java Virtual Machine, runtime classes, compiler, and basic
tools for using Java.
The JDK 1.1.7A web download contains a number of fixes and performance
improvements to the JDK 1.1.7 and includes a debuggable Virtual
Machine.
System Requirements
Software: SCO OpenServerTM Release 5.0.2,
5.0.4 and 5.0.5
with the version 7.1.0 OSRcompat module installed (see below)
RAM: 32MB minimum; 64MB recommended
Disk Space: 52MB free disk space
Installation
Once you have downloaded the product file or files from the Download page, perform
the following steps as root:
- Move the files to a preferred installation directory, for
example:
mv P*.tar /tmp2 or
mv C*.tar /tmp2
- Change to the installation directory:
cd /tmp2
- Extract the files. This command must be performed on each file individually.
tar xvf <filename>.tar
- Uncompress the files:
uncompress *.Z
- If the Version 7.1.0 UDK Compatibility Module for OpenServer is
not already installed on your system, install it now. The 7.1.0
Compatibility Module can be downloaded from the following location:
ftp://ftp.sco.com/udk/openserver5
NOTE:
You must remove any previous OSRcompat module from your SCO
OpenServer system before installing a newer version. To
remove the older version, enter:
pkgrm OSRcompat.version_string_if_any
To confirm whether an OSRcompat module has been installed on
your system, enter:
pkginfo | grep OSRcompat
- Install the JDK files in the following order:
pkgadd -d /tmp2/jdk117.ds
pkgadd -d /tmp2/jdk117pls.ds
- When you have completed the installation, you will
probably want to remove the download packages from the
/tmp2 directory, as they are rather large.
