Reply To: Linux 5.2.1 Client

[frans de Wet]

You can just copy the necessary files from the UNIX server (if you have one) to Linux and replace the jre with a Linux version, copy the necessary jar files over and voila … you have a client.  We did this here at DOH because we have migrated our desktops to Linux.

The folders we copied are:

$HCIROOT/clgui

$HCIROOT/client

Set the HCIROOT environment variable in something like /etc/bashrc

mv $HCIROOT/client/java $HCIROOT/client/java.bak

cp -r $HCIROOT/client/java

copy any jars or objects it misses or that are extra from java.bak to java

Oh, if you want the documentation to work you have:

– Add the docs folder to the list above

– Add the Adobe4.0 folder to the list above

– delete and link the acroread binary in the Adobe4.0 folder to the acroread binary on your Linux machine.  Works like a charm.  

If you need better directions let me know.
