Hello folks, have to deal with a customer complaint about simultaneous use of GKS development and runtime kit on a standalone workstation. In earliear notes (e.g. 2523 ) it is described how to use them simultaneously on a cluster, but this does not work on a standalone system. Here you can use runtime and development only alternately. The file GKS3D$RTLIB.EXE decides what flavour of GKS you have. In PHIGS this can be done because PHIGS uses a logical which points to the equivalent libraries PHIGS$CRTL or PHIGS$RTL. Typical environment: an alpha server with lots of PCs/eXcursion connected. 2 developers are developing, the rest of the staff simply wants to use the programs. The 2 groups want to work at the same time and you have the problem. Customer argumentation: the high cost of developer license should allow this. Any plans to implement this ? Thanks in advance for info. /Reinhard

| 2728.1 | workaround for GKS found | GYPOS3::EIBL | Reinhard Eibl @FKR, DTN 865-4027 | Mon May 12 1997 09:31 | 19 |
Hello all, my customer found a simple workaround for the problem in re.0 I did not test it on my system. But it sounds so simple, that i believe it works. For the case one of yuo needs that too, here the workaround: Simultaneous use of GKS and GKS-RT on a OpenVMS standalone system: (similar procedure should also work for the D-UNIX versions) - install GKS development - rename SYS$LIBRARY:GKS$INQ_LIB.EXE to e.g. GKS$INQ_LIB_DEV.EXE - install GKS runtime now all GKS applications can be run with the GKS-RT licenese - the developer just adds GKS$INQ_LIB_DEV.EXE to the link list (before all the other libraries come) and he can at the same time develop GKS programs. /Reinhard | |||||
