| At the time of the initial port, I was not aware of a make facility |
| for OpenVMS. So, I would just compile and link the various files by |
| hand: |
| |
| $ cc netperf.c |
| $ cc netlib.c |
| $ cc netsh.c |
| $ cc nettest_bsd.c |
| $ cc netserver.c |
| $ link/exe=netperf netperf.obj,netsh.obj,netlib.obj,nettest_bsd.obj |
| $ link/exe=netserver netserver.obj,netsh.obj,netlib.obj,nettest_bsd.obj |
| |
| Installation for OpenVMS has a few differences from installation under |
| say Unix. There is no inetd for VMS - however, there is the concept |
| of an adding an auxilliary service that seems quite similar. |
| |
| To configure netperf for operation as an auxilliary service, you will |
| need to edit/use the netserver_run.com file and alter the "path" to |
| netserver accordingly. The version that ships is setup for where Rick |
| Jones did his initial porting work and most likely is not apropriate |
| for you :) |
| |
| $ define sys$output sys$sysroot:[netperf]hello_service.log |
| $ define sys$error sys$sysroot:[netperf]hello_service.log |
| $ run sys$sysroot:[netperf]netserver.exe |
| |
| Then it will be necessary to "define" netperf (netserver) as an |
| auxilliary service. This will need to be customized as apropriate for |
| your system |
| |
| $ tcpip set service netserver - |
| _$ /port=12865 - |
| _$ /protocol=tcp - |
| _$ /user=system - |
| _$ /limit=48 - |
| _$ /process_name=netserver - |
| _$ /file=sys$sysroot:[netperf]netserver_run.com |
| |
| And then it is necessary to enable the service: |
| |
| $ tcpip enable service netserver |
| |
| If you want to disable the service, you can issue the command |
| |
| $ tcpip set noservice netserver |
| |
| By default, OpenVMS is case-insensitive with commandlines, and will |
| downshift everything to lower case. This does not interact well with |
| netperf's use of command-line options like "-H" and "-h" with rather |
| different meanings. |
| |
| To workaround that, the following defines are believed to be |
| sufficient. |
| |
| $ define DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE ENABLE |
| $ define DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE ENABLE |
| $ define DECC$POSIX_SEEK_STREAM_FILE ENABLE |
| $ define DECC$EFS_CHARSET ENABLE |
| $ set process /parse_style=extended |
| |
| I do not know if this will be something one can also do for the |
| netserver - presumeably one could put these things in the |
| netserver_run.com file (guessing). At present though I've not tried |
| that, and I'm also not sure that netserver has any upper-case options. |
