You need to read the README and INSTALL in your kylix directory. It tells you how to alter your .bashrc file to be able to start kylix when you are not in the kylix/bin directorty.
It also tells me ten zillion other things I don't really want to know about because I assume that SuSE, in the process of repackaging kylix for 7.3, has already taken care of them.
SuSE 'repackaging' Kylix? What are you talking about? IAR, You have two ways of acquiring Kylix, You can download the Open Edition for free, or your can buy one of their commerical packages, which come on TWO CDs. I don't know how the Open Edition comes but if it is an rpm then you have to do that as root, either from kpackage or from the console manually.
Unfortunately that assumption is incorrect. The whole thing plain doesn't run after installing the rpm.
The bottom line seems to be that, if you're running a shell other than sh, you're out of luck (I hate things which are written with
No. 'sh' is just another shell that can be invoked by prefacing the command with 'sh'. The installation instructions explicitly say to install Kylix by issuing the following command: sh ./setup.sh from the appropriate location. What were the results of your bortest?
the implicit assumption everyone runs bash), and you have to source /opt/kylix/bin/kylixpath before anything happens at all. Make sure to source it, if you run it it just tells some poop about "paths are now set to ..." anyway.
Ok, let's try:
Kylix
Can't open configuration file /home/soft/.borland/.borlandrc, $HOME/.borland/.borlandrc or shared configuration file /usr/local/etc/borlandrc.conf
Bummer. What a POS. With something as advanced as Borland (?) I'd expect it to tell me what to do next, instead of just pooping.
startkylix does the same, not surprising after a look at the 2 lines in the file.
kreg opens a window, but I can't be bothered entering all my stuff right now.
startkylix is a script that setups up the proper environment variables.
True. At least it's shell-indepedent.
IIRC, you have to copy a sub dir from the /lusr/local/borland installation directory to your home directory. But, I haven't installed Kylix on 7.3 yet,
Oops, do that first :) There isn't no /usr/local/borland no anything.
That's a double negative..... there would be if you decided to install it there. I did.
Perhaps kreg will fix it, perhaps not. Looks to me like SuSE has repackaged kylix into an rpm and stuffed it up a bit. At least the rpm info text should contain instructions on how to make it go after installing the rpm.
Btw there aren't any scripts in the rpm either.
If you are refering to startkylix, they could have named it something else in what ever rpm you are refering to.
