Hi, we are a group using z/OS Unix and have been given an HFS (USS?) we can install gmake ourselves as per our z/OS sysprog have downloaded and unwound gmake.pax.Z.bin from IBM and it looks to be EBCDIC already. The unwind created folders bin, share, info, and man and put all the data there. the installation instructions from the IBM redbook say the following is the core of a script to (build?) gmake. ------------------------------------ gzip - -d make-3.79.1.tar.gz | pax -o from=ISO8859-1,to=IBM-1047 -r (already paxed and EBCDIC already, doubts arise) cd make ( there is no make folder in z/OS Unix and the pax file I downloaded does not create a make folder, doubts increase) export CFLG='-O2 -D_ALL_SOURCE' CC=cc CFLAGS="$CFLG" CCC=c++ CXXFLAGS="-+ $CFLG" ./configure --prefix=$installDir make make install ------------------------------------
my question really is how do I really install gmake. I have it unwound on z/OS Unix, just don't know what to do with it. I don't think the above script will work for me as the file I downloaded is not what this script expects to see. The MVS sysprog says we can install it ourselves but our userid doesn't have write access to root (/). What do I do to get this puppy installed? Do I need to pay attention to the above scirpt? Or do I modify our .profile for the exports and issue the 2 make commands? I'm totally new at this and just need gmake for other ends. I wonder if I should create a script like the above without the first 2 lines and run that on z/OS Unix? I've had other feedback that said to just move the unwound folders (and data) down to root. One of those folders exist (bin) and the others don't. anyone have more information or know where I can get more?
