    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph

    Desired Outcome Goal:
    Verify that all types of Aleph programs (Pro*C, C, COBOL) can be compiled on an Aleph server.

    Procedure:
    (1)
    Check if the Aleph Installation Kit (AIK) is installed in the directory /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/AIK22 on the Aleph server.


    (2)
    If AIK is not installed, then download its tar file from the Ex Libris ftp server and extract it in the directory /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris of the Aleph server.


    (3)
    Extract the tar archive /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/AIK22/test_compile.tar.gz in the directory $alephm_scratch (as UNIX user aleph):

    $ cd $alephm_scratch

    $ tar xzf /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/AIK22/test_compile.tar.gz


    (4)
    Execute the compilation test script test_compile as UNIX user aleph:


    $ ./test_compile

    Expected screen output:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (5)
    Ensure that the screen output of the script test_compile does not include any error messages.

    The warning messages from the script test_compile_pc.c ("In function [...] warning: incompatible implicit declaration [...]") can be ignored.
