Once you have ftped and unpacked the distribution, you must initialize the following environment variables.
LIBPA_GROUP
LIBPA_ARCH
SCC
SLD
UCC
ULD
RANLIB
MAKE
The LIBPA_GROUP
environment variable should be set to the name of
the group which will have read/write permission in the LIBPA
installation. We source the `libpa-1.3.0/etc/cshrc' or
`libpa-1.3.0/etc/bashrc' scripts on our system to set these
environment variables properly. If you want to source these scripts on
your system, you will need to edit them first. At the very least, you
will need to change the LIBPA_GROUP
value. To verify that the
LIBPA environment variables are set, you may execute the
libpa-1.3.0/bin/checkenv.sh shell script.
Unless it is the only compiler available, we do not recommend using
gcc to compile the modules because gcc has a proprietary
implementation of the assert()
macro. Once you compile a module
using gcc, all executables based on that module must link
`libgcc.a'. This is particularly annoying if you are trying to
track down a compiler bug.
