Installing and Configuring Agent Builder

Agent Builder requires no special installation--it is included in the SUNWscdev package, which is installed by default as part of a standard Sun Cluster software installation (see the Sun Cluster 3.0 U1 Installation Guide). Before you use Agent Builder, verify the following:

• Java is included in your $PATH variable. Agent Builder depends on Java (Java Development Kit version 1.2.2_05a or higher) and if Java is not in your $PATH, scdsbuilder returns with an error message.

• You have installed the "Developer System Support" software group of Solaris 8 or higher.

• The cc compiler is included in your $PATH variable. Agent Builder uses the first occurrence of cc in your $PATH variable to identify the compiler with which to generate C binary code for the resource type. If cc is not included in $PATH, Agent Builder disables the option to generate C code (see "Using the Create Screen".

You can use a different compiler with Agent Builder than the standard cc compiler. One way to do this is to create a symbolic link in $PATH from cc to a different compiler, such as gcc. Another way is to change the compiler specification in the makefile (currently, CC=cc) to the complete path for a different compiler. For example, in the makefile generated by Agent Builder, change CC=cc to CC=pathname/gcc. In this case you cannot run Agent Builder directly but must use the make and make pkg commands to generate data service code and a package.
