One of our first problems was the development of INFORMIX-4GL/ESQLC programs. So we installed the iBCS2 System on Linux (with little help from us to developers of IBCS2). After that (and the installing of the free-shared-lib-replacements) we can run SCO-Binaries (like dbaccess/sqlexec/sqlturbo). Than we installed the complete SCO-GNU-System (gcc/gas/gld/glibc) on our System (in /usr/i486-sco/bin ../lib ../include) - this system was build on the SCO-system - and everything works. Later (when GCC changes) we have generated an cross-development-system 'configure --prefix=/usr --host=i486-linux --target=i486-sco' for gcc/gas/gld. It also works great and much faster than on SCO. Actual we only use some special files from our (old and not longer used !!) SCO-System. Not only INFORMIX-dependent programs can be generated, also ORACLE/YARD (a German Database) and all other things are running on Linux- Systems. -- Peter Brueckner, Brueckner&Jarosch Ing.-GmbH Erfurt, Germany 99084 Erfurt Andreasstrasse 37, Voice +49-361-6431811, peter@bj-ig.de
