This directory contains the Linux port of ingres8.9 DBMS.
|
|
|
|
ingres04.lzh is the most recent and complete distribution.
|
|
It includes a couple of fixes for 386BSD. I still don't know what flag it
|
|
uses to identify itself uniquely (a la -Dlinux for Linux)
|
|
|
|
###
|
|
If you d/led the earlier distribution (called ingres.lzh) then
|
|
the files update[1-3]/lzh fix some mistakes in the distribution.
|
|
###

|
|
|
You need lha (pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/Archivers/lha-1.00.tar.Z)
|
|
and byacc (in the same directory as ingres).
|
|
|
|
You'll need ~2.5MB to extract the system. You'll need the same again to build
|
|
the system.
|
|
|
|
This is a SOURCE only distribution. You need to build the whole system from
|
|
scratch.
|
|
1) READ the document setup.ingres.
|
|
1+) If you are compiling this on anything other than Linux
|
|
cd to .../source
|
|
change Config accordingly
|
|
2) cd to .../source/conf
|
|
3) type make allinstall 2>&1 |tee log
|
|
4) go and see a movie or something...
|
|
5) assuming all is well go to the home directory and run INSTALL.ME.
|
|
|
|
To give ingres a try read .../doc/other/tutorial.doc
|
|
For those interested in the internals see .../doc/other/design.doc
|
|
For those wanting to create and maintain their own databases see
|
|
.../other/maintain.doc
|
|
|
|
I suggest you print out all docs and keep handy if you want to use INGRES.
