1 February 11, 2003 2 3 At the time of the initial port, I was not aware of a make facility 4 for OpenVMS. So, I would just compile and link the various files by 5 hand: 6 7 $ cc netperf.c 8 $ cc netlib.c 9 $ cc netsh.c 10 $ cc nettest_bsd.c 11 $ cc netserver.c 12 $ link/exe=netperf netperf.obj,netsh.obj,netlib.obj,nettest_bsd.obj 13 $ link/exe=netserver netserver.obj,netsh.obj,netlib.obj,nettest_bsd.obj 14 15 Installation for OpenVMS has a few differences from installation under 16 say Unix. There is no inetd for VMS - however, there is the concept 17 of an adding an auxilliary service that seems quite similar. 18 19 To configure netperf for operation as an auxilliary service, you will 20 need to edit/use the netserver_run.com file and alter the "path" to 21 netserver accordingly. The version that ships is setup for where Rick 22 Jones did his initial porting work and most likely is not apropriate 23 for you :) 24 25 $ define sys$output sys$sysroot:[netperf]hello_service.log 26 $ define sys$error sys$sysroot:[netperf]hello_service.log 27 $ run sys$sysroot:[netperf]netserver.exe 28 29 Then it will be necessary to "define" netperf (netserver) as an 30 auxilliary service. This will need to be customized as apropriate for 31 your system 32 33 $ tcpip set service netserver - 34 _$ /port=12865 - 35 _$ /protocol=tcp - 36 _$ /user=system - 37 _$ /limit=48 - 38 _$ /process_name=netserver - 39 _$ /file=sys$sysroot:[netperf]netserver_run.com 40 41 And then it is necessary to enable the service: 42 43 $ tcpip enable service netserver 44 45 If you want to disable the service, you can issue the command 46 47 $ tcpip set noservice netserver 48 49 By default, OpenVMS is case-insensitive with commandlines, and will 50 downshift everything to lower case. This does not interact well with 51 netperf's use of command-line options like "-H" and "-h" with rather 52 different meanings. 53 54 To workaround that, the following defines are believed to be 55 sufficient. 56 57 $ define DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE ENABLE 58 $ define DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE ENABLE 59 $ define DECC$POSIX_SEEK_STREAM_FILE ENABLE 60 $ define DECC$EFS_CHARSET ENABLE 61 $ set process /parse_style=extended 62 63 I do not know if this will be something one can also do for the 64 netserver - presumeably one could put these things in the 65 netserver_run.com file (guessing). At present though I've not tried 66 that, and I'm also not sure that netserver has any upper-case options. 67
