Installing the Code Generation Tools

3.2 Installing the Code Generation Tools

This section helps you install the code generation tools on your hard-disk sys- tem. The software package is shipped on a CD-ROM. To install the tools on a SPARCstation running SunOS or Solaris, you must mount the CD-ROM, copy the files to your system, and unmount the CD-ROM.

Note:

If you are running SunOS 4.1.x, 5.0, or 5.1, you must have root privileges to mount or unmount the CD-ROM. If you do not have root privileges, get help from your system administrator.

Mounting the CD-ROM

The steps to mount the CD-ROM vary according to your operating-system version:

-If you have SunOS 4.1.x, as root, load the CD-ROM into the drive and enter the following from a command shell:

mount ±rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom exit

cd /cdrom/sunos

-If you have SunOS 5.0 or 5.1, as root, load the CD-ROM into the drive and enter the following from a command shell:

mount ±rF hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom exit

cd /cdrom/cdrom0/sunos

-If you have SunOS 5.2 or higher:

J If your CD-ROM drive is already attached, load the CD-ROM into the drive and enter the following from a command shell:

cd /cdrom/cdrom0/sunos

J If you do not have a CD-ROM drive attached, you must shut down your system to the PROM level, attach the CD-ROM drive, and enter the following:

boot ±r

After you log into your system, load the CD-ROM into the drive and enter the following from a command shell:

cd /cdrom/cdrom0/sunos
