Installing the Code Generation Tools

4.2 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 an HP workstation, you must mount the CD-ROM, copy the files to your sys- tem, and unmount the CD-ROM.

Note:

If you are running HP-UX 9.0x, 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

As root, you can mount the CD-ROM using the UNIXmount command or the SAM (system administration manager):

-To use the UNIX mount command, enter the following from a command shell:

mount ±rt cdfs /dev/dsk/your_cdrom_device /cdrom exit

Make the hp directory on the CD-ROM the current directory. For example, if the CD-ROM is mounted at /cdrom, enter the following:

cd /cdrom/hp

-To use SAM to mount the CD-ROM, see System Administration Tasks, the HP documentation about SAM, for instructions.

Copying the files

After you mount the CD-ROM, log out as root and log back on as yourself. You must create the directory that will contain the tools software and copy the soft- ware to that directory.

1)Create a tools directory on your hard disk. To create this directory, enter: mkdir /your_pathname/tool_dir

2)Copy the files from the CD-ROM to your hard-disk system: cp ±r * /your_pathname/tooldir
