Yup, a bug I think. The '-all' option worked with the development head
revision label for me but not with the GPL code drop which is just a
little older. I got around the problem by running 'ingbuild -help' and
then specifying what I wanted to install. That way the non-interactive
install worked fine. Example:
ingbuild -install='dbms,net,tm' -exresponse
-file=/home/ingres/instII/ingrsp.rsp $II_DISTRIBUTION
I used a response file ingrsp.rsp with contents like this:
II_INSTALLATION=II
II_SYSTEM=/home/ingres/instII
II_DISTRIBUTION=/home/ingres/r3hr/release/ingres.tar
II_MSGDIR=/home/ingres/instII/ingres/install
II_CONFIG=/home/ingres/instII/ingres/install
TERM_INGRES=vt100fx
II_DATABASE=/home/ingres/instII
II_CHECKPOINT=/home/ingres/instII
II_JOURNAL=/home/ingres/instII
II_DUMP=/home/ingres/instII
II_LOG_FILE=/home/ingres/instII
II_TIMEZONE_NAME=NA-EASTERN
II_DATE_FORMAT=MULTINATIONAL
LOG_KBYTES=131072
Mark, you are quite right that the INSTALL document needs work. I'll see
if anyone else within Ingres Corp is working on it and will probably
volunteer (my dad told me never to do that - oops!) if it's not being
worked on actively at the moment. I guess Ingres has really joined the
open source community when the software is great and the developer written
doc lags. ;) (Apologies to our Ingres tech writers and all the volunteer
writers and translators in open source land. But it _is_ a fact that folks
like coding more than documenting. I've got to reform my habits!)
Cheers, MikeT
