You may send comments or suggestions regarding this guide, or any Compaq C document, by electronic mail to the following Internet address: c_docs-at-hp.com Intended AudienceThe audience for this guide is the system manager who installs Compaq C software. Structure of this DocumentThis guide is organized as follows:
Manuals in the Compaq C Documentation SetIn addition to this guide, the Compaq C documentation set for OpenVMS VAX systems includes the following books:

|
Kit | Blocks During Installation | Blocks After Installation |
---|---|---|
Compiler only | 100,000 | 80,000 |
Compiler and documentation | 180,000 | 120,000 |
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.
1.6 Installing and Using Multiple Compiler Versions
Compaq C Version 6.4 provides initial support for installing and using multiple versions of the compiler on the same node.
During installation of Version 6.4, if a Version 6.0 or Version 6.2 of the compiler is already installed, you have the opportunity to preserve that compiler rather than overwrite it. If you choose to preserve the currently installed compiler, you are then given a choice to keep the currently installed compiler as the system default and install the new compiler as an alternate.
By default, the currently installed system compiler is preserved by making it an alternate compiler and installing the new compiler as the system default. Users can make the choice to use an alternate compiler instead of the installed system compiler by running a command procedure that changes the behavior of the cc command for the process that invokes it.
Some details of the following description may change, but the mechanism
is essentially as follows.
1.6.1 Displaying and Selecting the Compiler Version
This kit provides two command procedures to display and control which Compaq C compiler is used by a process:
$ @sys$system:decc$show_versions.com The following Compaq C compiler(s) are available in SYS$SYSTEM: Filename Version --------------------------------------- DECC$COMPILER.EXE V6.4-005 DECC$COMPILER_T06_04-002.EXE T6.4-002 DECC$COMPILER_T06_04-001.EXE T6.4-001 DECC$COMPILER_V06_00-001.EXE V6.0-001 Process Default DECC$COMPILER_V06_02-008.EXE V6.2-008 |
