This kit has tools
for both Tru64 UNIX and Linux systems and uses the RPM
for installation of all packages except RPM itself, which
is in the setld format.
OpenOffice.org
A multiplatform office productivity suite, including
a word processor, spreadsheet program, presentation
manager, and drawing program. This suite can import
and export Microsoft Office file formats.
GNOME and KDE
Early Adopter Kit (EAK) versions of both the GNOME
V1.4 (including developers platform and GNOME office)
and KDE V3.0.1 (including all the internationalization
components, libraries, utilities, Koffice, and others.)
desktops on this kit. These components, which install
in the /usr/local directory, are built using Compaq
compilers, thus resulting in enhanced performance.
Users can make simple modifications to their own Xsession
startup files to use either GNOME or KDE as their own
default desktop. All of the Tru64 UNIX system management
applications, (for example, SysMan Station) and most
CDE applications can be launched from either GNOME
or KDE desktops.
Desktop Manager
The Desktop Manager is a TCL/TK program that makes
it easier for the end user to pick which desktop he/she
would like to use. After the normal authentication
process the desktop manger brings up a listbox which
gives you the choice of loading Gnome, KDE, or CDE.
Red Hat GNUPro software development tools
Updated Red Hat GNUPro software development tools
support Tru64 UNIX V5.1 and higher including
- GCC, GNU C compiler
- G++, GNU C++ compiler
- BINUTILS, GNU binary utilities
- GDB, GNU debugger
- LIBSTDC++, GNU C++ standard library compiler
Binary emulation package
Rehosting applications for which the source is not
readily available is supported via an EAK Linux Alpha
to Tru64 UNIX binary emulation package, lxt64. This
utility allows users to take applications that are
built with shared objects on Linux and run them directly
on a Tru64 UNIX system.
Code Forge IDE
A trial-use version of Code Forge, an IDE (Integrated
Development Environment) that supports Tru64 UNIX as
well as Linux on AlphaServer and ProLiant systems,
is included with the toolkit. This is a complete IDE
that provides project management software and complete
edit/compile/debug support for developers using a wide
variety of programming languages and compilers including
Compaq C and C++. Code Forge for Tru64 UNIX and Linux
Alpha is built using Compaq C compilers. For Linux
Intel systems it is built using gcc.
Solaris compatibility libraries
Rounding out the toolkit is a set of Solaris Compatibility
Libraries (SCL) for Tru64 UNIX and Linux Alpha. The
Solaris Compatibility Libraries allow applications
using proprietary Solaris APIs to be more easily ported
to Tru64 UNIX and Linux Alpha systems. Many applications
written for Solaris use proprietary functions that
can make porting to other UNIX operating systems difficult.
Compaq has eased the migration of such applications
to Tru64 UNIX and Linux Alpha by providing libraries
that implement many of the Solaris APIs. This enables
application source code to be ported with few or no
changes and eliminates the need to write individual
implementations of the Solaris functionality. The functions
provided fall into three categories:
- Solaris Threads: an implementation of Solaris thread
functions layered upon POSIX threads
- Solaris Threads: an implementation of Remote Procedure
Calls: a port of Sun's public domain ONC RPC v2.3
software
- Miscellaneous: various library functions including
asynchronous I/O, large file support, wide character,
and signal name functions
