Prerequisites
Windows
When you compile a Basic program with jBASE, it is converted to C++. The
C++ code is then compiled to machine code. The supported compiler is
Microsoft Visual C++. For jBASE 4.1, you must use Visual
C++ 6.0, or Visual C++ .NET or the MinGW compiler. The standard edition of
these products is adequate. Your windows system may need the file
msvcp60.dll. This is readily available from the internet.
The MINGW compiler is NOT RECOMMENDED for use in a production environment
and is included for evaluation purposes only.
If you are only using the C compiler for jBASE BASIC then you can download
the SDK (Software Development Kit) and Framework Redistributable from the
msdn.microsoft.com web site. The link to this site changes often and
therefore you should simply run a web search for "Microsoft .net sdk" to
find the current link. Be sure to download the Redistributable Package as
well as the SDK.
Linux
You must have the korn shell (ksh) installed before you install
jBASE for Linux, or the installation will fail. In addition, many of the
shell scripts included in jBASE for Linux require ksh. For more
information see the
Pre-requisites on the Readme Page.
Redhat 8 as distributed will need to have the glibc libraries updated to
run jBASE. They are readily available on the internet. Download them and
run the following commands:
rpm -Fvh --nodeps glibc-2.3.2-4.80.8.i386.rpm
rpm -Fvh --nodeps glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.8.i386.rpm
