Preparing the UNIX Software Environment
When you install Progress, the installation program prepares the software environment. In the UNIX software environment, Progress uses the
buildenv
script to maintain environment variables.The
buildenv
script sets default values for environment variables that define objects, libraries, and options required for building executables on UNIX. You can edit this script to customize environments at different sites. Thebuildenv
script is located in the$DLC/probuild/eucapp
directory.Perform the following tasks to prepare the UNIX software environment:
- Verify that the
buildenv
script includes proper settings for the PROLOAD environment variable, which defines the PROBUILD installation directory ($DLC/probuild
, by default), and any other customized environment variables. When run, the link script that PROBUILD creates on UNIX calls thebuildenv
script.- Verify that the
probuild
script updates the PROPATH environment variable to include theeuc.pl
procedure library in the$DLC/probuild/eucapp
directory. If PROPATH does not contain both theeucapp
directory and theeuc.pl
procedure library, PROBUILD will not run.- Verify that the PATH environment variable contains the path to the C++ compiler.
For more information about maintaining environment variables in the
buildenv
script, see Maintaining User Environments."For more information about UNIX environment variables, see the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for UNIX.
