This guide applies to Compaq C for OpenVMS VAX Version 6.2 and all subsequent maintenance releases up to the next release of the product that includes an updated installation guide.
Your bill of materials (BOM) and indented bills report (BIL) specify the number and contents of your media. Be sure to verify the contents of your kit with this information. If your kit is damaged or if you find that parts of it are missing, contact your Compaq representative.
Compaq C provides separate online release notes. The release notes
contain installation-related notes and a summary of technical changes,
known problems, restrictions, and incompatibilities. Reading the
release notes before proceeding with the installation is strongly
recommended. For information on accessing the online release notes, see
Section 2.1.
1.1 Required Operating System Components
Compaq C for OpenVMS VAX Systems, Version 6.2 requires OpenVMS VAX Version 5.5-2 or higher.
The OpenVMS VAX (formerly VAX VMS) operating system comes with a variety of support options, including such features as networking and RMS journaling. To use Compaq C, your system should be running a version of OpenVMS that includes the following:
If you are installing Compaq C on OpenVMS VAX Version
5.5-2 or Version 6.0, you must first install the Compaq C/C++
Run-Time Components kit. See the Compaq C/C++ Run-Time Components for OpenVMS VAX Reference and Installation Guide .
1.3 Optional Software
See the Software Support Addendum (SSA) that comes with the Software Product Description (SPD) for a complete list of prerequisite and optional software products and their required version numbers.
Note that Compaq C and VAX C can coexist on your system.
The CC command is used to invoke either the VAX C or
Compaq C compiler. If your system has a VAX C compiler
already installed on it, you have the option of specifying which
compiler will be invoked by default whenever just the CC command verb
is used. To invoke the compiler that is not the default, use the CC
command with the appropriate qualifier: /DECC for the Compaq C
compiler, or /VAXC for the VAX C compiler. See the
Compaq C release notes for more information.
1.4 License Registration
Before you install and run Compaq C Version 6.2 on a newly licensed node or cluster, you must first register a License Product Authorization Key (License PAK) using the License Management Facility (LMF). The License PAK may be shipped along with the kit if you ordered the license and media together; otherwise, it is shipped separately to a location based on your license order.
If you are installing Compaq C as an update on a node or cluster already licensed for this software, you have already completed the License PAK registration requirements.
If you are installing prerequisite or optional software along with Compaq C, review the PAK status and install the PAKs for any prerequisite or optional software before you install Compaq C.
You must register and load your license for Compaq C before you start the installation to run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) and use the software.
To register a license under OpenVMS VAX, first log in to the system manager's account, SYSTEM. You then have a choice of two ways to perform the registration:
If you plan to use Compaq C on more than one node in a VAXcluster, you will need to perform a license load on the other nodes after you complete this installation. See Section 3.3.
For complete information on using LMF, see the VMS License
Management Utility Manual.
1.5 Installation Procedure Requirements
This section discusses various requirements for installing Compaq C.
Each installation takes approximately 10 to 60 minutes, depending on your type of media and your system configuration.
Installing Compaq C and running the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) on a standalone VAXstation 4000-60 system takes approximately 15 minutes.
If VMSINSTAL detects any problems during the installation, it notifies
you and asks if you want to continue the installation. In some
instances, you can type YES to continue. To stop the installation
process and correct the situation, type NO or press Return. Then
correct the problem and restart the installation.
1.5.1 Privileges and Disk Space
To install Compaq C, you must be logged in to an account that has SETPRV or at least the following privileges:
VMSINSTAL turns off BYPASS privilege at the start of the installation.
The Compaq C requirements for free disk storage space are different during installation and after installation. Table 1-1 lists the storage requirements. You can now install the C documentation in .ps, .txt, and .html formats. The installation default is to not install the documentation, but if you do, note the additional disk space required.
| Kit | Blocks During Installation | Blocks After Installation |
|---|---|---|
| Compiler only | 60,000 | 40,000 |
| Compiler and documentation | 140,000 | 80,000 |
To determine the number of free disk blocks on the current system disk, enter the following DCL command:
$ SHOW DEVICE SYS$SYSDEVICE |
The account you use to install Compaq C must have sufficient quotas to enable you to perform the installation. Table 1-2 summarizes the process quotas required for the installation account.
| ASTLM | 190 |
| BIOLM | 160 |
| DIOLM | 160 |
| ENQLM | 4000 |
| FILLM | 300 |
| PGFLQUOTA | 20,480 |
User account quotas are stored in the file SYSUAF.DAT. Use the OpenVMS Authorize Utility (AUTHORIZE) to verify and change process quotas for the installation account. (Some sites may restrict the use of the OpenVMS Authorize Utility to certain accounts or people.) For example, to change the BIOLM quota for the account-name installation account, you might enter the following command sequence:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:AUTHORIZE UAF> MODIFY account-name/BIOLM = 160 UAF> SHOW account-name UAF> EXIT $ LOGOUT |
After the quotas for the installation account have been changed, log out of the installation account and log in again for the new quotas to take effect. You can then proceed with the installation.
For more information on modifying account quotas, see the description
of the Authorize Utility in the OpenVMS System Management
Subkit.
1.5.3 System Parameters
Installing Compaq C requires certain system parameter settings.
The minimum number of contiguous free global pages and global sections
needed for the installation depends on whether
SYS$SYSTEM:DECC$COMPILER.EXE was previously installed as a shared known
image. See Table 1-3.
| Previously Installed as Shared? | Global Sections | Global Pages |
|---|---|---|
| No | 1 | Sufficient number of contiguous free global pages to contain the file SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE |
| Yes | 4 | Approximately 2000 contiguous free global pages plus a sufficient number of contiguous free global pages to contain the file SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE |
These values represent the number of contiguous free global pages and global sections required for the installation, not the total number you need to run your system and other software.
You must ensure that your system has the necessary global page and global section SYSGEN quotas for the installation. Failure to do so could cause the DCL tables to be corrupted in some situations. |
To install and run Compaq C, you must have sufficient contiguous free global pages and free global sections. You must first find out how many free global pages and sections you have on your system. Use AUTOGEN if you need to increase the CONTIG_GBLPAGES and FREE_GBLSECTS system parameters.
Enter the following DCL command to determine the number of global pages required by SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE:
$ DIR/SIZE SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE |
This command returns the size (in blocks) of SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE. As an approximation, use this figure as the number of global pages needed for the file.
You can use the WRITE command with the F$GETSYI lexical function to find the number of contiguous free global pages and free global sections. The following example shows how to get this information at your terminal (the default for SYS$OUTPUT):
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("CONTIG_GBLPAGES")
15848
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("FREE_GBLSECTS")
24
|
If the value of contiguous free global pages or free global sections is less than the value required (see Section 1.5.3), you must increase the system parameter setting.
Section 1.5.3.2 describes the procedures for increasing these values using
AUTOGEN.
1.5.3.2 Changing System Parameter Values with AUTOGEN
If you do not have enough contiguous free global pages or free global sections to install Compaq C, you can do either of the following:
AUTOGEN automatically adjusts values for parameters that are associated with the values you reset manually. To change system parameters with AUTOGEN, edit the following file:
SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT |
Use an editor to access the file. To change a parameter value listed in this file, delete the current value associated with that parameter and enter the new value.
To add a new parameter, add a line to the file that includes both the name of the parameter and its value. For example:
WSMAX = 8096 |
To modify incremental parameters such as GBLPAGES and GBLSECTIONS, use ADD_GBLPAGES and ADD_GBLSECTIONS, respectively. The following example increases the global page setting by 2000:
ADD_GBLPAGES = 2000 |
Be aware that when you set the page file quota, you should not use a value that exceeds the amount of page file space available on the system.
After you make all your changes, exit from the editor and execute the AUTOGEN procedure to recalculate your system parameters. Enter the following command to recalculate your system parameters and reboot the system:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS REBOOT |
When you specify REBOOT, AUTOGEN performs an automatic system shutdown and then reboots the system. Any users logged on to the system are immediately disconnected during the shutdown. The automatic reboot puts the new parameter values into effect.
The AUTOGEN Utility automatically adjusts some of the SYSGEN parameters based on the consumption of resources since the last reboot. If you do not want to take advantage of this automatic adjustment, include the NOFEEDBACK qualifier on the AUTOGEN command line.
For more information about using AUTOGEN, see the OpenVMS System
Management Subkit.
1.5.4 Backing Up Your System Disk
At the beginning of the installation, VMSINSTAL asks if you have backed up your system disk. Doing a system disk backup before installing any software is strongly recommended.
Use the backup procedures that are established at your site. For details on performing a system disk backup, see the section on the Backup Utility in the OpenVMS System Management Subkit.
