How to install WordPerfect 5.1 for SCO on Linux
The changes below only apply to installation. Note that some of them
are not even required since the problems they address are not fatal.
These changes are included for completeness and so that people who
are expecting things to go wrong don't keep bugging me with false
bug reports.
1. Extract the archive(s) from the media as instructed. If you have a
floppy distribution and the disks seem to be blank MS-DOS disks
read the HINTS file. The disks are *not* blank really...
2. Look at ./wpinstall. Around line 400 there is a line that tests how
to tell echo not to line feed which says:
if [ "-nZ" = "`echo -nZ`" ]
For the test to work correctly with the echo built in to bash this
needs a space inserting between the n and Z.
if [ "-n Z" = "`echo -n Z`" ]
If you don't change this it isn't fatal - it just looks unpleasant.
3. Start ./wpinstall. Fill in the details but do *not* select the install
option yet.
4. The first thing wpinstall does is uncompress the files in ./_I. Now
they are uncompressed you want to check some things before you start
the install. Look at the file _I/installloop. Some versions of this
have missing quotes (WP have fixed these in later versions) which
are a problem for bash. Specifically:
around line 64:
newcnt=`ls $EXEDIR../$i 2> /dev/null | wc | awk '{ printf "%d", $1}`
^
missing '
around line 167:
JNK=`echo "$4" | sed 's/^[^GC].*//g`
^
missing '
around line 170:
if [ `echo "$4" | sed 's/^G//g` != "$4" ] # is file type a G?
^
missing '
around line 174:
elif [ `echo "$4" | sed 's/^C//g` != "$4" ] # is file type a C?
^
missing '
If you have these problems you must fix them or the install will fail.
5. Look at _I/wpinstall.char. Around line 1100 there is a block of code
that says:
ifiles=`expr $ifiles \* 100 2> /dev/null`
percent=`expr $ifiles / $totalfiles 2> /dev/null`
if [ "$percent" -le 100 -a "$percent" -ge 1 ]
then
display_status $percent # redisplay % complete
fi
The value of ifiles is dependent on the contents of a file which is
expected to vanish thus this code should be protected by an if:
if [ -n "$ifiles" ]; then
ifiles=`expr $ifiles \* 100 2> /dev/null`
percent=`expr $ifiles / $totalfiles 2> /dev/null`
if [ "$percent" -le 100 -a "$percent" -ge 1 ]
then
display_status $percent # redisplay % complete
fi
fi
This change is not essential but does avoid a race condition which could
result in a (non-fatal) error message during installation.
6. Select the install option of wpinstall and let it go.
7. WP ship .snf fonts which the distributed XFree86 servers don't like.
You need to remove the .snf fonts and reconvert the supplied .bdf
descriptions to .pcf font files:
# cd shlib
# for bdf in *.bdf
> do
> fn=`basename $bdf .bdf`
> [ -r $fn.snf ] && mv $fn.snf $fn.snf.old
> bdftopcf -o $fn.pcf $bdf
> done
# mkfontdir .
# xset fp rehash
8. You're done...
