EXPERIMENTAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR OSSIE 0.6.2
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, AND EVERY STEP HAS NOT YET BEEN TESTED!
DO NOT USE THESE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
This page will continue to be updated as BenHilburn continues to develop a more practical OSSIE installation method. Currently, it is just a copy/paste of the normal install instructions, which will slowly be modified to use new methods.
Start to Finish Installation of OSSIE
Assumptions:
- You have Fedora Core 6 installed. For instructions on installing on Mac OS X, refer to OSSIE_Installation_OSX?.
- You are running on an x86 processor (64 bit machines WILL NOT WORK).
- You are a developer or tester, and are therefore okay using an experimental install process.
Install omniORB
Grab the six omniORB-4.0.7 RPMs below. Download them to where ever you like, and browse to that directory with the File Manager. Select all 6 packages, right click, and select 'Open with Software Installer'. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. If you are warned about untrusted or malicious software, accept the warning and continue anyways.
- not here yet
NOTE: These packages were created from the omniORB source code, using the developer's RPM specification. The included omniORB.conf file has been pre-configured for OSSIE.
Install OSSIE and Required Components
Grab the seven binary RPMs below. Download them to where ever you like, and browse to that directory with the File Manager. Select all 7 packages, right click, and select 'Open with Software Installer'. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. If you are warned about untrusted or malicious software, accept the warning and continue anyways.
- also not here yet
Now change the ownership of /home/sca from root to yourself
su -c "chown -R <user>:<user> /home/sca"
At this point, you should once again run ldconfig as root from the /sbin directory
