We have several applications that use RogueWave's Tools.h++. We are trying
to build these applications under RedHat Linux 5.2. We are having difficulty
getting past the RogueWave "Software Parts Manager". Has anyone compilied RW
Tools.h++ under LINUX? Any hints on how to do this?

[These are algorithmic intensive applications with only a command-line user
interface.
We are currently using Tools.h++ v7.08 and have an active license.]

Any help / encouragement is greatly appreciated!

Thanks -

I've had no particular difficulties compiling Tools.h++ version 6 with
both g++ 2.7.2 and egcs 1.1, but I'm not familiar with the Software
Parts Manager.  The bin/config script needed some tweaking, but it
wasn't too bad.

Can you tell me exactly what the problem you had was?

There's an RW KB support doc - 970805-002 - that will give you a start. You
have to bypass the SPM. You may also need to download the tools .gz files
from RW rather than using the ones from your CD. Once you've gotten the
source copied to your Linux machine, you'll have to hack at the install
scripts some. The scripts expect an actual ksh to run and the Linux pdksh
isn't quite compatible. I did this some weeks ago and, unfortunately, I
can't remember exactly what I did to the scripts, but basically I did just
enough to get them to run - you'll get alot of error messages, and you can
just change the offending lines until things work. I never got rid of all
the error messages, and I set things up just to install the source and
makefiles rather than execute the build. I was able to get Tools 7.0.9 and
ToolsPro 1.0.2 to build under RedHat 5.2. I did not compile Tools with a
Standard Library - I don't know if you could under Linux. I built one
program that uses the ToolsPro networking and Tools strings and lists
classes and it's been running fine for a couple of weeks now.

Best,
Tony

Yes, we have looked at the support doc. We could not download anything from
RW
as their e-commerce thing has been down for days now. And the contents of
the
CD bears no relation to what the procedure dictates.

Boy, if someone could just post  a makefile (taken from RW's makefile.in),
for g++, that would
make my life easier.

THANKS - Tim

We were trying to follow the procedure given by RW, but using the CD. RW's
e-commerce site is down, so we
cannot get the file as the procedure suggested. We have the source on our
SUN's, but we would like RW to create
the makefile if possible.
