Different forms of installation programs are provided, as individual
package or bundeled with other Genero components. Refer
to the appropriate installation guide for a detailed description
of the installation procedure. Do not hesitate to contact your support
if you need help.
After installing a package, you should:
- Set the FGLDIR environment variable to the installation directory.
- Set the PATH environment variable to (FGLDIR)/bin in order to
run compilers and runtime system tools from the command line.
- Set the database client software environment (INFORMIXDIR, ORACLE_HOME,
DB2DIR, SYBASE, PGDIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc)
- Set access path to database client software DLLs (PATH), or Unix shared libraries
(LD_LIBRARY_PATH, SHLIB_PATH, LIBPATH)
- According to the database server you want to connect to, set up
the correct database driver in FGLPROFILE. The default database driver
is Informix®.
- Depending what rendering mode you want to use (text mode or graphical
mode), you will have to set environment variables such as FGLGUI,
FGLSERVER, TERM, INFORMIXTERM.
- If your application uses C-Extensions, a C compiler is required
and you must recompile your C-Extensions as shared libraries.
