Installing SAX under Linux (including BSD)



Normally, to install SAX you should use the script supplied by
Soliton.



An installation script used to be included in the install ("tgz") file
but in June 2002 a newer version of SAX (6.0.2) was released and the
script wasn't included in the corresponding file. The original
installation script should have worked just the same but problems were
reported with the install file and a fix hasn't been provided as of
October 2002.



We had a look at the installation script and found the problems to be
minor, yet sufficient to prevent a successful installation. In the
process we even managed to install SAX under FreeBSD, in Linux mode.



The following is a step-by-step procedure to install version 6.0.2,
including *BSD.





1. If you are running BSD ensure that it is "Linux enabled". If you
install FreeBSD from scratch you will be given the opportunity to do
so at installation time. If it is not already installed you can append
a line to the /etc/rc.conf file that reads
linux_enabled = "YES"
Reboot to make it effective.

2. Get the latest SAX (6.0.2 as of 2002/10) from Soliton's ftp
site. The link may change; it used to be at ftp://ftp.tor.soliton.com/saxlinux/sax602_linux.tgz
do a "tar -zxf ..." on it to materialize its items in the temporary
directory you should be in (like /tmp/sax)

3. get the installation script. There is one at
ftp://ftp.tor.soliton.com/saxlinux/sax/sax6_install.600

4. If you want to install SAX under [Free]BSD change the install
script to accept BSD. Do the same with the "xfonts.install" script:
simply add "*BSD*|" before the Linux case statement.

5. ensure directory /usr/sax exists otherwise the script will fail
attempting to create directory /usr/sax/rel

6. do a ‘chmod +x /usr/sax/rel/etc/conf/*’ to make sure that all
scripts there are executable

7. do a ‘chmod 666 /usr/sax/rel/lib/wss*/*.sf’ to make sure all
public files are usable

8. if you are running FreeBsd make sure all executables are of type
'Linux'. Do

brandelf -t Linux /usr/sax/rel/bin/*

9. run the install script
The script will verify that your environment is setup properly and
will offer to install SAX in directory /usr/sax/rel.
DO NOT change this directory and accept the default. Changing the
directory creates problems down the road

10. answer the other prompts

You don't need to reboot for this. As root do
/etc/rc.d/abi start

Seems the current release is at
ftp://ftp.soliton.com/SAXreleases/Cu...x621.linux.tgz

In the same directory there is tools.tgz which seems to have an
install script. I haven't played with it though.

If you prepare a FreeBSD port for SAX, may be more people will try
it out.
