Hi all,
I just managed to get AXIS to run remotely as a GUI.
In order to do that I had to modify AXIS a bit, but I checked the changes
into CVS.
Here's the steps I did to get it to run:
1. created a new folder in ~/emc2/configs/ called 'axis-remote'
2. copied client.nml, a sample ini, var and tbl to that dir
3. edited client.nml (changed the IP to match my remote emc2 machine)
4. edited the ini file (removed all hal files references, especially the
POSTGUI_HALFILE)
5. run axis:
axis -ini foo.ini (this assumes axis is installed into the proper place)
or
/path/to/rip-emc2/bin/axis -ini foo.ini
In order to make it work ok, you would have to nfsmount or smbmount the
folder for the config and for the nc_files from the server machine to the
remote machine.
This is because at the moment the gui's acces some stuff directly (like the
var file), I hope that we will change that in the future.
For the programs dir, I'm not sure what we can do, I think the mounted dir
is the best solution (it takes care of a lot of issues, like procedures in
different files, and all kinds of crazy things :).
Regards,
Alex
