When installing the DCE starter kit and then the MCC kit we found that soft links to files established during the installation of DCE are changed when MCC is installed. Specifically the cma include file are changed. The directory listing below is an indication of what is changed. Both /usr/include and /usr/include/dce are changed. The directories look like the following after the DCE installation: ls -l /usr/include/cma* ls: No match. ls -l /usr/include/dce/cma* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 28372 Nov 22 12:08 /usr/include/dce/cma.h -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 30110 Dec 6 17:00 /usr/include/dce/cma_config.h -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 3680 Nov 19 09:58 /usr/include/dce/cma_errno.h -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 4508 Nov 19 10:03 /usr/include/dce/cma_px.h -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 3168 Dec 6 17:00 /usr/include/dce/cma_sigwait.h -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 8611 Nov 19 14:08 /usr/include/dce/cma_stdio.h -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 7006 Nov 19 10:14 /usr/include/dce/cma_ux.h -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 4222 Nov 19 10:15 /usr/include/dce/cmalib_crtlx.h But, becomes this after installation of MCC. ls -l /usr/include/cma* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 32 Jan 21 13:40 /usr/include/cma.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 38 Jan 21 13:41 /usr/include/cma_errno.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma_errno.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 40 Jan 21 13:44 /usr/include/cma_library.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma_library.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 38 Jan 21 13:45 /usr/include/cma_stdio.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma_stdio.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 35 Jan 21 13:45 /usr/include/cma_ux.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma_ux.h ls -l /usr/include/dce/cma* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 28372 Nov 22 12:08 /usr/include/dce/cma.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 39 Jan 15 23:10 /usr/include/dce/cma_config.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma_config.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 38 Jan 15 23:10 /usr/include/dce/cma_errno.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma_errno.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 35 Jan 15 23:10 /usr/include/dce/cma_px.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma_px.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 40 Jan 15 23:10 /usr/include/dce/cma_sigwait.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma_sigwait.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 38 Jan 15 23:10 /usr/include/dce/cma_stdio.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma_stdio.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 35 Jan 15 23:10 /usr/include/dce/cma_ux.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cma_ux.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 41 Jan 15 23:10 /usr/include/dce/cmalib_crtlx.h -> /usr/mcc/mmtoolkit/include/cmalib_crtlx.h Why does the installation of MCC change what was setup by DCE? It also seems from this that MCC expects CMA files to be in the /usr/include directory but DCE does not. Which is correct? The reason we are looking into this is that we found the DCE CMA and the MCC CMA are not the same. the DCE EFT1b kit contains a patch to CMA that allows compilation with the -std switch, but the files put in place by MCC does not. (We thought there was agreement to keep the 2 versions in synch.) Any help to resolve this problem permanently would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance for any help you can give on this issue!!! Bonnie

We are working (this week, in fact) to fix the way we handle the CMA links. In the SSB kit we will check for the presence of CMA on the system, and will only create links if we are the first ones installing CMA files. We are trying as hard as possible to keep in synch with what goes out with DCE. I am not aware of anything newer that CMA5E, which is what we are using. -- Erik | |||||

Erik,
Thanks for the quick response. Is the target for SSB still FEB/MAR ?
Will you have an update kit before then (and if so, will this be in
the kit?) If you're interested in having us test the fix, before then,
we'd be glad too. We expect another DCE kit before FEB/MAR, and are
wondering what the DCE kit will do to the MCC created links. It seems
like they would be overwritten again, to point back to the original
place.

Schedules are being developed and the project leaders and
developers are planning what is to be done during the field
test. Schedule updates will be available soon but will not be
posted in this notes conference. For further information
contact Steve Lane, product management.

We do not yet have definite plans for an internal field test update,
but one is being seriously considered.
