- This directory contains the Linux port of ingres8.9 DBMS.
-
- ingres04.lzh is the most recent and complete distribution.
- It includes a couple of fixes for 386BSD. I still don't know what flag it
- uses to identify itself uniquely (a la -Dlinux for Linux)
-
- ###
- If you d/led the earlier distribution (called ingres.lzh) then
- the files update[1-3]/lzh fix some mistakes in the distribution.
- ###
-
- You need lha (pub/linux/sources/Archivers/lha-1.00.tar.Z)
- and byacc (in the same directory as ingres).
-
- You'll need ~2.5MB to extract the system. You'll need the same again to build
- the system.
-
- This is a SOURCE only distribution. You need to build the whole system from
- scratch.
- 1) READ the document setup.ingres.
- 1+) If you are compiling this on anything other than Linux
- cd to .../source
- change Config accordingly
- 2) cd to .../source/conf
- 3) type make allinstall 2>&1 |tee log
- 4) go and see a movie or something...
- 5) assuming all is well go to the home directory and run INSTALL.ME.
-
- To give ingres a try read .../doc/other/tutorial.doc
- For those interested in the internals see .../doc/other/design.doc
- For those wanting to create and maintain their own databases see
- .../other/maintain.doc
-
- I suggest you print out all docs and keep handy if you want to use INGRES.
