Accessing Sun Studio Software and Man Pages
The Sun Studio software and its man pages are not installed into the /usr/bin/ and /usr/share/man directories. To access the software, you must have your PATH environment variable set correctly (see Accessing the Software). To access the man pages, you must have your MANPATH environment variable set correctly (see Accessing the Man Pages.).
For more information about the PATH variable, see the csh(1), sh(1), ksh(1), and bash(1) man pages. For more information about the MANPATH variable, see the man(1) man page.
Note - The information in this section assumes that your Sun Studio software is installed in the /opt directory. If your software is not installed in the /opt directory, ask your system administrator for the equivalent path on your system.
|
Accessing the Software
Use the steps below to determine whether you need to change your PATH variable to access the software.
To Determine Whether You Need to Set Your PATH Environment Variable
1. Display the current value of the PATH variable by typing the following at a command prompt.
2. Review the output to find a string of paths that contain /opt/SUNWspro/bin/.
If you find the path, your PATH variable is already set to access the software. If you do not find the path, set your PATH environment variable by following the instructions in the next procedure.
To Set Your PATH Environment Variable to Enable Access to the Software
Add the following to your PATH environment variable. If you have Sun ONE Studio software or Forte Developer software installed, add the following path before the paths to those installations.
/opt/SUNWspro/bin
Accessing the Man Pages
Use the following steps to determine whether you need to change your MANPATH variable to access the man pages.
To Determine Whether You Need to Set Your MANPATH Environment Variable
1. Request the dbx man page by typing the following at a command prompt.
2. Review the output, if any.
If the dbx(1) man page cannot be found or if the man page displayed is not for the current version of the software installed, follow the instructions in the next procedure for setting your MANPATH environment variable.
To Set Your MANPATH Environment Variable to Enable Access to the Man Pages
Add the following to your MANPATH environment variable.
/opt/SUNWspro/man
Accessing the Integrated Development Environment
The Sun Studio integrated development environment (IDE) provides modules for creating, editing, building, debugging, and analyzing the performance of a C, C++, or Fortran application.
The command to start the IDE is sunstudio. For details on this command, see the sunstudio(1) man page.
The correct operation of the IDE depends on the IDE being able to find the core platform. The sunstudio command looks for the core platform in two locations:
- The command looks first in the default installation directory, /opt/netbeans/3.5M.
- If the command does not find the core platform in the default directory, it assumes that the directory that contains the IDE and the directory that contains the core platform are both installed in or mounted to the same location. For example, if the path to the directory that contains the IDE is /foo/SUNWspro, the command looks for the core platform in /foo/netbeans/3.5M.
If the core platform is not installed or mounted to either of the locations where the sunstudio command looks for it, then each user on a client system must set the environment variable SPRO_NETBEANS_HOME to the location where the core platform is installed or mounted (/installation_directory/netbeans/3.5M).
Each user of the IDE also must add /installation_directory/SUNWspro/bin to their $PATH in front of the path to any other release of Forte Developer software or Sun ONE Studio software.
The path /installation_directory/netbeans/3.5M/bin should not be added to the user's $PATH.
Accessing Sun Studio Documentation
You can access the documentation at the following locations:
- The documentation is available from the documentation index that is installed with the software on your local system or network at file:/opt/SUNWspro/docs/index.html.
If your software is not installed in the /opt directory, ask your system administrator for the equivalent path on your system.
- Most manuals are available from the docs.sun.comsm web site. The following titles are available through your installed software on Solaris platforms only:
- Standard C++ Library Class Reference
- Standard C++ Library User's Guide
- Tools.h++ Class Library Reference
- Tools.h++ User's Guide
- The release notes for both Solaris platforms and Linux platforms are available from the docs.sun.com web site.
- Online help for all components of the IDE is available through the Help menu, as well as through Help buttons on many windows and dialogs, in the IDE.
The docs.sun.com web site (http://docs.sun.com) enables you to read, print, and buy Sun Microsystems manuals through the Internet. If you cannot find a manual, see the documentation index that is installed with the software on your local system or network.
Note - Sun is not responsible for the availability of third-party web sites mentioned in this document. Sun does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials that are available on or through such sites or resources.
