SD Build and Install Process

The SD system is installed by executing the install script: ubuntu-installsd.sh

The script performs the following:

1. Installs required system packages

2. Make

   Builds the C code into programs:

   sd     - string database
   sdconv - File convertor for high/low byte systems
   sdidx  - Report or modify the location of alternate key indices
   sdfix  - Check / repair file system integrity
   sdlnxd - SD Linux daemon
   sdtic  - Terminfo compiler.
   
   and library
   sdclilib.so - API client library
   

3. Creates user sdsys and group sdusers

4. Creates and copies files to /usr/local/sdsys

5. Compiles (convert BASIC source to byte code object file) using python script BBCOMP.py - BootStrap Basic Compiler.

   BootStrap Basic Compile the modules necessary to build the balance of the system:

   BBPROC - Bootstrap Command Processor
   BCOMP  - BASIC compiler
   PATHTKN -
   pcode file
   

6. Creates the sd account parent directories

7. Starts the sd system.

8. Performs Build step pass 1 (Executes BBPROC)

   BBPROC compiles:

   CPROC
   LOGIN
   BASIC
   BCOMP
   PTERM
   CATALOG
   PARSER
   IS_GRP_MEMBER
   TERM
   

   BBPROC Creates DYNAMIC files:

   ACCOUNTS
   $HOLD
   $MAP
   $IPC
   DICT.DIC
   DIR_DICT
   VOC.DIC
   

9. Performs Build step pass 2 - (SECOND.COMPILE - compiles all of GPL.BP)

10. Performs Build step pass 3 - WRITE_INSTALL_DICTS

11. Compiles C and I type dictionaries - (THIRD.COMPILE)

12. Recompiles CPROC

13. Create Account for user installing SD

14. Compiles terminfo database

15. Cleanup processing

16. Inform user reboot is required
