Agent Builder requires no special installation. Agent Builder is included in the SUNWscdev package, which is installed by default as part of a standard Sun Cluster software installation. The Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS contains more information.
Before you use Agent Builder, verify the following:
The Java runtime environment is included in your $PATH variable. Agent Builder depends on Java (Java Development Kit, at least Version 1.3.1). If Java is not included in your $PATH, scdsbuilder returns and displays an error message.
You have installed the Developer System Support software group, at least Solaris 8.
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. To use a different compiler, create a symbolic link in $PATH from cc to a different compiler, such as gcc. Or, change the compiler specification in the makefile (currently, CC=cc) to the complete path for a different compiler. For example, in the makefile that is 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.
