Client:
This assumes that you are using setup script files in your application directory. If you are using setup script files in the installation directory, replace applicationDir with the full pathname to the Prolifics config directory, for example, /usr/prolifics/config/setup.sh.
Note: If application variables are set in the user’s environment for previous versions of JAM or Prolifics, they should be removed so that they do not interfere with the setup for this version.
6.If a user’s terminal type is different from the value of SMTERM in the setup script, override that value by adding a line to the .profile or .cshrc to set SMTERM correctly. The line should immediately follow the script invocation. For example:
. /usr/prolifics/config/setup.sh SMTERM=vt100
Alternatively, you can merge the appropriate setup script file into .profile or .cshrc, and modify the value of SMTERM as needed.
Overriding other application variables for a given user can be implemented in the same way.
Verify the Installation
After you install and configure the Prolifics client, you should verify that it starts up properly. If Prolifics software is not installed and configured correctly, an appropriate error message is displayed. Depending on the problem, the program might also terminate. Refer to Appendix E for a list of the more common error messages related to system configuration, and how to resolve them.
On a client machine, a correct installation is verified if you can invoke the Prolifics editor.
To verify a UNIX client installation:Type prodev at the command line.
Look at A Sample Application
Before you begin building your applications, you might want to look at the following sample application:
VideoBiz
Run the following script from your home or working directory (make sure your current directory has
$SMBASE/samples/vidstore/vbizunix
