building SapDb from the sources

[David Gornshtein]

Hi,     If you want to compile SapDB for Linux from the sources (I checked versions V73_00_18 and V73_00_20):           1. Install RedHat Linux 6.2 or Mandrake 7.1      2. Install the appropriate version of the php (perl 5+ installed by default)      3. Deploy sources and dev tools.      4. Run installtools.pl in the DevTools directory      5. Run the installsources.pl in the source directory      6. Set the owner/builder of Sap sources to use bash as default shell via /etc/passwd      7. Source the file initDev_SAPDB in the source directory root      8. imake –f all      9. Look for compiled files at $(source root)/SAPDB_DEV/usr/bin   Example: qalinux: [/raid2/sap_db/V73_00_20] $ ./installsources.pl                   Installation Of SAP DB Sources                 ****************************** your sources are in "/raid2/sap_db/V73_00_20" your devtools are in "/raid2/sap_db/DevTool"   SAP DB sources correctly installed qalinux: [/raid2/sap_db/V73_00_20] $   qalinux: [/raid2/sap_db/V73_00_20] $ . initDev_SAPDB   Welcome To SAP DB Development Environment *****************************************   Version: R73 Correction Level: 0 Buildprefix: 20 Tools: /raid2/sap_db/DevTool Python: /usr/local/include/python1.5 Editor: vi VMAKE_PATH: /raid2/sap_db/V73_00_20/SAPDB_DEV,/raid2/sap_db/V73_00_20/SAPDB_ORG   qalinux: [/raid2/sap_db/V73_00_20/SAPDB_DEV] $ imake -f all       caution: usage of local profile! caution: Can't get a buildnumber.
