487.0. "LIBRTL_D56_TV not found on Alpha V7.1 ?" by STAR::FURNANZ () Fri Mar 21 1997 19:41

Hi,

We maintain OpenVms 6.1 build environments for our product builds on VAX and
Alpha.  Since we added a node running OpenVMS Alpha V7.1, I cannot get SDL to
run (on that node):

$ sdl nl:
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image LIBRTL_TV
-CLI-E-IMAGEFNF, image file not found
OPNOUT$DKA100:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSLIB]LIBRTL_D56_TV.EXE;

This file did not ship with OpenVMS Alpha V7.1.
SDL is not even actually installed on the system.  We have always just run a
setup procedure defining all of the logicals, etc.  sys$library is a search
list which points to 2 directories kept separate from the system area
for control of the build environment. Even when I copied the LIBRTL_D56_TV.EXE
image from a V6.1 system to one of these directories, SDL does not pick it
up.  Turning file watch on reveals that it looks only in the system area and
doesn't use the sys$library logical definition.  I would like to avoid putting
the file in the system area since it doesn't belong there.

Looking through my SDL setup procedure, I found this - should/could this have
an effect?

$ ! fix link problem - see notes conf turris::sdl, note 468 (these are
$ ! translated images, since a real native Alpha kit does not exist)
$ define uvmthrtl_tv mthrtl_d53_tv


Any suggestions, please?

Thanks,
Mike

487.1TLE::REAGANAll of this chaos makes perfect senseMon Mar 24 1997 10:364
    What image is running?  ALPHA_SDL.EXE?  Is it installed?  With
    privs?  How are the logicals defined?

487.2Away old SDL!STAR::DIPIRROMon Mar 24 1997 13:486
    	Yeah, and I'd like to know what version of SDL we're talking about.
    This sounds like an old version of Alpha SDL, prior to the native
    version for Alpha, where it was built against all the VESTed RTLs. This
    ancient SDL had a lot of other problems as well. My guess is that we're
    talking about EV1-31 or so, where we're up to like EV1-51 or so now for
    EVMS builds.
487.3SDL setup and logicalsSTAR::FURNANZMon Mar 24 1997 14:5037
Yes, it is ALPHA_SDL:

                image name: "ALPHA_SDL_TV"
                image file identification: "EV1-31"
                link date/time: 12-JAN-1994 19:28:51.44
                linker identification: "T1.1-FT3"


No, nothing is installed.  This all works on a V6.2 system -- tyring to get it
to work on a V7.1 system.  Here is the contents of the .com procedure that gets
run. 

$ set command                           tools$:[axp_sdl032]sdlv3

487.4getting a new kitSTAR::FURNANZMon Mar 24 1997 16:078
Steve,

Thanks for the info.  As you can see from my last reply (which crossed paths
with yours) I am using EV1-31 just as you guessed.

So I'm off to the web site to get a new kit...

Mike
