Re: [Oorexx-devel] Please help: how can i configure Open Object Rexx 5.1 in OpenSuse Leap 15.4

[CV Bruce]

On Linux and Unix, your Rexx program needs to start with a line like #!/path/to/rexx Where path/to/Rexx is the path to where the Rexx executable is installed. And the Rexx program must have its permissions set to executable, I.e. “chmod 755 myRexxProgram.rex” Bruce Sent by Magic!

Once you have installed ooRexx it should work out of the box, there is nothing to configure on the ooRexx side, you just call it with rexx myprogram.rex, you can leave out the extension so rexx myprogram suffices. Similar to how you call a Python program. Be aware that there are no GUI features for any other implementation than Windows (ooDialog), it is all done on the command line for all the Linuxes and in macOS. If you mean that you want to be able to “click” the program to start it from a Graphical interface you could try to change the rules for how a certain extension is handled in OpenSuse as explained here, but I am no expert in how this works out you will have to figure that out yourself. Hope it helps. Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse, P.O. Jonsson oor...@jonases.se On 12. May 2023, at 13:39, Franz Marx <marx.fr...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi, Mr. Jonson! First of all: the Installation worked with your detailed advice, of course! But One thing I still miss: how can I configure the Open Rexx Version 5.1.0 within OpenSuse Leap 15.4 ? Like in Windows, my *.rex program should be executed immediately. i am sorry to be such inexperienced to bore you with this question 🤐 I only find Rexxtry within the App-Listing  (that works, of course) regards Franz Am Mi., 10.

Since 5.0.0 was so long in the coming, a number of minor things were missed out in the release, mostly in the documentation area. All those things are ironed out in 5.1.0. Installation procedure is exactly the same. Good luck. Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse, P.O. Jonsson oor...@jonases.se On 10. May 2023, at 14:21, Franz Marx <marx.fr...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi P.O. Jonsson! Thank you very much for your detailed description, I will now try to install release 5.1.0 Beta, as you suggest. One explanation from me, why i like to use SuSE: it`s because i had already experience making SuSE SLES Installations productive on PC's in the 2010's and also on IBM zSeries (and it comes from Europe!)  before I retired.

Indeed the package for OpenSuse (and all other packages I think) is unsigned so you would need to ignore the warning when it arrives. The steps would be (assuming the installer is in Downloads): noob:~/Downloads> sudo zypper install ooRexx-5.0.0-12583.opensuse15.x86_64.rpm [sudo] password for root:  Loading repository data...

I am very pleased and satisfied with the performance of this version. I have an older HP-Laptop with dual boot Windows 10 and OpenSuse Leap 15.4. Calculating 4 Million Primes with my Rexx-Program using Windows 10 it tooks on the ACER-Laptop: 5639 secs. - on my HP-Laptop : 8983 secs., as you can see in my 2 attachments. Now I wish to see the Rexx-Performance running under OpenSuse Leap 15.4.     With the  OpenSuse Installation all Apps run very fine (like Libre-Officewith, Chrome, VLC, etc. etc.), the only exception i got when i was trying to install OORexx 5.0! I failed with the installation of Open Object Rexx Version 5.0. with the install-message "Checksum-Error" when I tried to install from your RPM-Package. Can you give me some advice on how the installation will succeed?
