Hello

Old topic, renewed again - anyone had success with installing Baan on Linux?

We have Triton 3.1B and I would like to move it to a linux environment once it reaches the end-of-production-life.

Putting our 3.1B installation onto a Linux server at that point in time makes sense, as we can support it with in house parts & expertise, and we wouldn't have to carry support contracts with our hardware vendor.

Any suggestions/ideas/etc? Problems with bit versions?

Does 3.1b uses the same portingset as IVc? If it is it can work however since it's not official supported yet you will have a problem with the license. You can not license your linux box so you need another supported box to run your license on.

IVc works fine with the un-official linux portingset.

Hello,

we are running now since 3 months IVc4 with the linux porting set 6.1c.07.03 (controlled release) without any big problems. Our DB is Oracle (9ir2), but BISAM support is also included (not tested by us), the OS is SuSe Enterprise Server 8.

The general available version (6.1c.07.04) should be coming soon.

Ah.. I should've probably mentioned we're on porting set 6.1b.05.01.

What about 32 bit/64 bit compilation, etc? Our dev environment is on an HPUX 64 bit system, and my linux "test" environment is a PII dual 350...

I have a copy of our dev server in a linux enviroment but I get the message "/triton/bse/bin/ba6.1: cannot execute binary file"

thanks!

You need to install the shared C-libraries version 5.

(Received this tip from some other boardmember a few months ago!)

Thanks - can you explain the process, how obtain the libraries, etc?

Ah.. I should've probably mentioned we're on porting set 6.1b.05.01.


Just to be sure --- You're not trying to use 6.1b.05.01 on the linux box
are you?

Yes - I shuold probably be upgrading my porting set in the process.

What output do you get if you do:
file ${BSE}/bin/bshell6.1 ?

using your HP binaries on your linux box.....

You need to have a copy of the linux portingset.

The shared c-libraries V5 are delivered with your linux distribution (at least with Suse).

Han, I have a few more questions;using your HP binaries on your linux box.....Can you explain where these are and how I would go about installing them (Maybe there's documentation in the same location?)You need to have a copy of the linux portingset.Where do I get this? I looked on the baan support ftp site and I could only find i386, HP8000, ALPHA, etc...The shared c-libraries V5 are delivered with your linux distribution (at least with Suse).Ahh - I thought when you said shared libraries you meant baan libraries. I'm running Redhat Linux 9, 2.4.20-8smp... Do you happen to know where I could find this, or at least point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!
