Partial Success. How to install Kylix 3 on Fedora 3.2005-05-29 07:49:36 AM kylix2 Hi I've just sucessfully installed Kylix 3 Professional on fresh install of Fedora 3. Since I had to search through multiple postings on multiple newsgroups to do so, I figured I'd put everything into one place. Hopefully memory will serve me well. I am running Fedora Core 3 as a guest OS on VMware Workstation 5 on WinXP. Both Gnome and KDE interfaces are installed. Fedora Core Personal Version was installed. The following corrections had to be made before installing Kylix. 1) I had to go back and install the "Development Tools" package in System Settings>Add/Remove Applications in order to not get a error about not being able to find a gcc compiler during install. 2) I had to install the libXP.so.6 file. This is available on the second Fedora Core 3 .iso CD. It is contained in the xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm. Install the rpm. I installed the main program files and help files. I did not install database or internet components. I still get a warning that libX11.so is missing, but this is a video library and I am not writing software that works with video. 3) After installation I added the following code to the startbcb and startdelphi files echo 1>/proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 This was added just before the line source /usr/local/kylix3/bin/kylixpath /usr/local/kylix3>/dev/null /usr/local/kylix3/bin/delphi $* Now I am able to run the Kylix 3. I am not yet able to compile a blank form due to compile errors in Borland's time.h file. Perhaps I need to use a different gcc version? |
