===Configuration Details===
 
I include in the attachments my checklist I use for a Solaris 10
installation, adjusted to show only items particular to yours
and not my entire decision tree. I added brief explanations
for some of the items that might seem arbitrary otherwise.
 
Very similar decisions are made when installing any release
of Linux, Solaris, MS Windows or yet another operating
system - the details vary though.
 
http://docs.sun.com/ has all (too many) the details.

===Install XEmacs===
However, I would not install both Emacs and XEmacs at the same
time. Nowadays, I highly recommend installing only one of them,
with my preference given to XEmacs. Of course, only when
there are no specialized Lisp packages that require Emacs.
 
Then my installation would be like below:
<pre>
$ cd /cdrom/s10_software_companion/components/sparc/Packages
$ cat > /tmp/nointeraction
  mail=
  instance=unique
  partial=nocheck
  runlevel=nocheck
  idepend=nocheck
  rdepend=nocheck
  space=quit
  setuid=nocheck
  conflict=quit
  action=nocheck
  basedir=default
 
$ pkgadd -a /tmp/nointeraction -d . -n SFWbdb SFWgcc34l SFWxmacs
  [ Copyright and legal notices omitted for brevity. ]
  21872 blocks

  Installation of <SFWgcc34l> was successful.
  [Copyright and legal notices omitted for brevity. ]
  264202 blocks
 
  Installation of <SFWxmacs> was successful.
 
$ emacs () { /opt/sfw/bin/xemacs $* ; }
 
$ pkgadd -a /tmp/nointeraction -d . -n SFWddd SFWgbin SFWgdb
  [ To complete installation of the other packages you require. ]
 
$ pkginfo SFWbdb SFWddd SFWgbin SFWgcc34l SFWgdb SFWxmacs
  system      SFWbdb    berkeleyDB - Berkeley Database Library
  system      SFWddd    ddd - GNU Data Display Debugger
  system      SFWgbin  binutils - GNU binary utilities
  system      SFWgcc34l gcc-3.4.2 - GNU Compiler Collection Runtime Libraries
  system      SFWgdb    gdb - GNU source level debugger
  system      SFWxmacs  XEmacs - text editor
</pre>
 
==Developing on Duck==
 
===Installing GNV (GNU is not VMS)===
 
====Downloading GNV====
 
First, download GNV version 1.9 for VMS 7.3-2<br>
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/opensource/gnv.html
<p>
Unzip the file on <b>your workstation</b>. FTP the two <code>.pcsi</code> to duck using the "binary" mode (i.e. type <code>bin</code> before you use <code>get</code>. Make sure that all letters in the file name are uppercase, so, for example, if you got the following after unzipping:
 
<pre>
dec-axpvms-gnv-v0109-000-1.pcsi$compressed;1
dec-axpvms-gnv-v0109-000-1.pcsi$compressed_esw;1
</pre>
 
rename them to
 
<pre>
DEC-AXPVMS-GNV-V0109-000-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED;1
DEC-AXPVMS-GNV-V0109-000-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW;1
</pre>
 
====Installing GNV====
Login as user <code>system</code> to do the installation.
 
Follow the installation instructions on http://openvms.compaq.com/OpenSource/gnvreadme_first.html, section 6.
 
<pre>
$PRODUCT INSTALL GNV /SOURCE=device:[dir.where.pcsi.are]
</pre>
 
====Setting up GNV====
 
Follow the installation instructions on http://openvms.compaq.com/OpenSource/gnvreadme_first.html, section 7.
<br>
The following modifications were made to configuration files on duck:
 
1. File SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM: the following line was added
 
<pre>
$ @SYS$STARTUP:GNV$STARTUP.COM
</pre>
 
 
2. File LOGIN.COM at the devel account: added the line below
 
<pre>
$ @GNU:[LIB]GNV_SETUP.COM
</pre>
 
3.  As mentioned in http://openvms.compaq.com/OpenSource/gnvreadme_first.html, section 9.3, long file names are enabled on an ODS-5 disk by adding the follwowing line devel's LOGIN.COM file:
 
<pre>
$ SET PROCESS/PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED
</pre>
Note that you could also make the terminal case sensitive, but this did not work well, so I did not include this command.
 
====Running GNV====
 
Just start bash:
 
<pre>
$ ssh -l devel duck.kin.ucalgary.ca
devel@duck.kin.ucalgary.ca's password:
Welcome to OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version V7.3-2 
 
DISK1:[DEVEL]
$ bash
bash$
</pre>
 
See the list of commands available at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/opensource/gnvreadme_first.html, section 5.
