Hi there,

I'm new to OpenUnix 8 world, so I need some help from you experts. I
have some knowledge of Linux, so maybe it can help.

1) I did seen that OpenUnix 8 have a command called "strace" however
it's not the Linux "strace", to be more precise it isn't a "system call
tracer". Is there any type of "strace" as the one from linux that is
native from OpenUnix 8? If not, is possible use linux "strace" in
OpenUnix8? If yes, any link with detailed steps?

2) Is possible use gdb (the GNU debugger) in OpenUnix 8? If yes, any
link with detailed steps?

3) Is possible use gcc (the GNU compiter) in OpenUnix 8? If yes, any
link with detailed steps?

Thanks guy.

Cheers

is truss anything like strace?

I think "truss" might do the trick (not sure if it gets installed by
default but I __suppose__ it is).

If memory serves, OpenUNIX8 did come with the OST (Open Source Took Kit)
which included both the gcc and the gdb; if you have the media kit,
please check the CD labeled "Open UNIX Development Kit CD".

The info/ostk/ostknotes.txt file outlines the following (sorry for the
bad formatting):

Tool Version Description Package Name Space
Required
GNU gcc 2.95.3pl1 Compiler collection - GNUgcc 45,830 K
gcc, g++ and g77 bytes
GNU binutils 2.10.1 Assembler and object GNUbinutl 4,040 K bytes
file utilities
GNU gdb 5.0pl1 GNU debugger GNUgdb 2,540 K bytes
GNU make 3.79.1 Make utility (gmake) GNUmake 930 K bytes
GNU m4 1.4 Macro Processor GNUm4 230 K bytes
GNU gawk 3.0.6 GNU awk text processor GNUgawk 1,140 K bytes
GNU bison 1.28 GNU parser generator GNUbison 420 K bytes

GNU autoconf 2.13 GNU autoconf utilities GNUautocf 785 K bytes
flex 2.5.4a fast lexical analyzer OSflex 435 K bytes

Total OSTools 58,645 K

Please do wade throught the entire file as it will give you additional
info about the packages and the installation procedure.

Best,
Rob

Hi,

Thank you Ron and Rob, the truss command is exactly what I needed.

Rob I doesn't have this CD called "Open UNIX Development Kit CD"... is
is avaible for download? Can you/someone point me to it? Or maybe a
place to download only the Gcc and GDB of this CD ?

I'm a little confused yet in OpenUnix8, after I download this files
from "Open UNIX Development Kit CD", how I install it? tar -xvzf
file.tgz && ./configure && make ?

OBS: I got a very good idea, maybe instead I can emulate Linux ELF
binarys. Is ther any module/program that allow me to run Linux ELF
binarys in OpenUnix8?

Thank you and sorry for dumb questions,

Cheers

Uhm... I don't think SCO ever made OU8 kits available for downloading.

If you have the OU8 media kit, it should contain 4 Caldera OpenUNIX CDs,
the Open UNIX Development Kit CD (which is the one you're looking for)
and a couple of floppies.

I think you can download the gcc from the SCO's skunkware site:

ftp://ftp2.sco.com/pub/skunkware/uw7/Packages/

Not sure if gdbm is gdb but it's at the very same above URL.

Nah, (fortunately) this is not the case.

If you manage to grab the OUDK CD, you can place it on your CD reader and
execute:

pkgadd -d cdrom1

You'll be asked which set of packages to install and you'll be fine.

You, there is/was.

I think OU8 (and current editions of UnixWare7) still include the Linux
Kernel Personality module which is a product which allows you to run
Linux applications inside OU8.

The problem is this product has been put "on ice" due to recent issues
between SCO & IBM and has not been updated any longer; also, you're
required to have the "Supplementary Open Source Software 3.1" which is a
CD LKP requires to install a Linux filesystem tree under the OU8 filesystem.

If you need more info, please email to me directly.

Best,
Rob

Hi Roberto,

Thank you a lot, you really helped me much in learning the basic of
OpenUnix.

Regards
