In my PC linux, when an exe file is running or is debugged, I couldn't
recompile and write to the exe file. Could anyone tell me how to get
rid of the "busy file" check.

Hi,

Does anybody know what I should install, setup and cofigure to use
PEX/PHIGS with Openwindow under linux? I have instlled xd serial disks
of Slakware, but it seems I have to do some more to get it works.

I am using Linux 1.2.13 and XFree 3.12 from Slakware 3.0 with GCC
intalled.

Any comment and help are greatly appreciated.

A simple workaround is just to rm the old exe file. In that way, the
connection to the file system is lost, and the file is deleted when is
stops executing. You can create a new executable file with the same
name with no problems.

Hope this helps...

Another workaround is to create a symlink to your exe, and run that
instead of the exe. The symlink is then busy and the exe isn't.
Beware, though, as writing over the exe may well cause your application
to crash (state the obvious).

This works on HP's, so I guess it will work on Linux.

Hope this helps,

Charlie
