Hi all,

We have just moved our development system to a more powerful server
that has been sold to us for 1$.

uname gives the following on the new box:

# uname -X

System = SCO_SV
Node = magnal2
Release = 3.2v5.0.7
KernelID = 2003-02-18
Machine = Xeon
BusType = ISA
Serial = 3KI006669
Users = 15
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 1

We develop software mostly in COBOL but many system routines are
written in "c". Our old box which is no longer on the network due to a
defective network card is at the same release level as the new one and
of course had the c development system installed. The new server does
not have the development system.

It's been 15 years since I last installed SCO and really don't want to
go that route. Is there any way to get the c development system onto
the new box either from the installation CD's which we have for the
old box or by copying files from one system to another?

Thanks in advance.

Elliot

Hi
In fact the old SCO box is an earlier version:

Release 3.2v5.0.5
Kernel Date 98/07/02

I suppose this will make copying files more problematic.

Thanks

Its unlikely that you will be able to install the 5.0.5 Development
System onto
the 5.0.7 box. Even if you could get it installed, you will most
likely meet
problem with compilation and/or runtime execution issues when you
build
your sources.

Probably the "easiest" solution is to get an OpenServer 5.0.7 CD1 and
install the development system from that using the license from the
OpenServer 5.0.5 Development Kit.
