Has anyone out there sucessfully installed slang on an OpenVMS AXP v6.2 ?
I have tried and failed. How do I un-tar on the Alpha?
The Lynx2-7 Installation. file says to get gzip from
ftp://ftp.wku.edu/ in the fileserv directory. So I got that.
(actually it was in the vms/fileserv directory)
I then unzipped it ok and found an alpha executable in the new [.vms].
So far so good.
(As an aside, I also tried to create a new .exe using
[.vms]makegzip.com, but the new exe bombs on an access violation.
Don't know if that is due to my choice of DEC C v5.0-003 compiler
options or to something else.)
The lynx2-7 Build-slang.com file says to get slang from
ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis So I went there and then to /slang
and got slang0.99-38.tar.gz which Lynx saved as slang0_99-38.tar-gz
So I ran gzip -d on that and got slang0_99-38.tar.
Now what? Installation file does not say how to un-tar.
Back to Davis' files. His VMS.readme file says to extract his stuff
go to gatekeeper and get gunzip-axp.exe and vmstar-axp.exe.
Ok, got 'em. Just for fun I re-gunzip-d the slang tar-gz file with this
new gunzip. It appeared to work fine also.
Did a 'diff' on the two tar files just created. No diffs.
Both unzips gave the message ...tar-gz 74.4% --replaced
Is this significant?
So next tried to run vmstar-axp. There were no instructions for it so
first I tried it with just '-h'. That gave an access viol error so
then I tried it with no params.
$ taraxp := $ [...path...]vmstar-axp.exe
$ taraxp
this told me usage: tar x|c|t[vbd][f tarfile] [file [file...]]
Then I cheated - went to a unix box to look up those letters in manpages.
Then I tried
$ taraxp t v f slang0_99-38.tar
and it said
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=04,
virtual address=7F3DF920, PC=0002014C, PS=0000001B
%TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows
Image Name Module Name Routine Name Line Number rel PC abs PC
VMSTAR-AXP VMSTAR main 7818 0000014C 0002014C
VMSTAR-AXP VMSTAR __main 0 00000058 00020058
0 893F0170 893F0170
Where do I go from here?
