maybe the args you wrote to ln are in the wrong order:

 ln -s reallib symlink

is the correct order

and it should be a soft link (-s)

Have you checked that error at the top about rxapi?  is rxapi in an appropriate 
place?  Also there should be a rxapid shell script, I think.

Hi, Jack.

Yes the link is created by the post processing step and isn't in the 
archive itself.  I'm more concerned at the moment with the actual error 
the post processing steps generates "error exit
status 5".

Thanks.

ln: '/usr/lib/librexx.so' and '/usr/lib/librexx.so.4.0.6' are the same
file


Looks like the archiving process copied both the file and the link into the 
archive in some fashion.
Make sure the link is not added to the archive and create the link in the 
post-processing.

[Oorexx-devel] Creating Ubuntu 16.04 s390x .deb install file

[Dave Jones]

Hello, all.

I am attempting to create a ooRexx 4.2.0 .deb install file for use on a 
Ubuntu 16.04 s390x system running as a guest of z/VM on an IBM z 
mainframe and I have run into a problem.

I have:

1) downloaded the ooRexx-4.2.0-source.tar.gz fiel and expanded it

2) built ooRexx:

 a) ./configure

 b) make

 c) sudo make install

All works as it should

3) created the "control",  "postrm", "prerm", "postinst" and "md5sums" 
files based on the ones in the ooRexx-4.2.0-1.ubuntu1310.x86_64.deb 
distribution.

4) created the .deb file:

  sudo dpkg-deb --build ooRexx-4.2.0

with no errors reports.

5) copied the ooRexx-4.2.0.deb file to another Ubuntu 16.04 guest on z/VM

6) installed it:

I'm not sure why the post-installation script is returning an error 
status of 5 and rxapi not being installed. The installation scripts are 
exactly the same as the ones used for the x86_64 architecture.

ooRexx seems to get installed, though:

although the Debian package manger doesn't seem to think so.

Can someone point out what I have done incorrectly here?

Thanks and Happy Holidays, too.

Sorry, I should have been more explicit: Pierre G. Richard, a very nice and 
sharp French gentleman,
implemented Android intentions which would allow one to react upon Android 
events in Rexx. He was
very proud of that feature, but a student who tried to exploit this area, was 
not able to do so.
Trying to contact Pierre (who had been very nice and constructive) yielded no 
answers, which was
very untypical of him. Attempts to get information via jaxo were neither 
successful, therefore I
fear that something bad has happened to him.

Unfortunately, it does not work as described, its state could be described
to be beta.  
 
Oh ... I've used it quite a bit as didn't notice any problems.  But I was
only doing fairly simple things just as repeated calculations.

Unfortunately, it does not work as described, its state could be described to 
be beta. Also, it
seems that the author (a nice French gentleman) has disappeared from the 
surface of the earth.

Ad Jason's research success on ooRexx for Android: wow! The student who did the 
port has been
brushing up a few things and intends to submit his port to the ooRexx project. 
If you have any
feedback to the ooRexx port, if there are features from Android that you would 
like to use, but
cannot use via the command line (many of the Android specific features should 
be invocable via the
commandline), then please let us know (best via the ooRexx developer list, 
hence I included it in cc:).

Thank you also for your findings and pointers about the non-rooted environments 
you have found and
experimented with!
