Request:

You want to install Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Linux (GNU Edition) on SuSE Linux.

Procedure:

Even though the Installation claims to be for Red Hat Linux, Code Warrior installs without trouble on SuSE Linux as well, if you follow the detailed installation instructions on the CD (File INSTALL

Mount the CD-ROM (don't forget the mount option "exec") and start the installation script ./install-sh

The script proposes /usr/local as the installation path. Make sure, that there is enough free disk space on that partition (A full install including documentation and examples needs about 40 MB).

The installation script will install three RPM packages, cw-postscriptdocs-4.0-1, cw-ide-4.0-1 and cw-docs-4.0-1. Afterwards you have to create symbolic links pointing to the include files on your system. This can be done by running the script /usr/local/metrowerks/CodeWarrior3.3/config_gcc_links.sh. Unfortunately this script creates one wrong link, whis has to be corrected manually using the following command:

ln -fs /usr/i486-linux/include /usr/local/metrowerks/CodeWarrior3.3/CodeWarrior3.3/GCC-Links/gcc-include

To start CodeWarrior, run the script /usr/local/metrowerks/CodeWarrior3.3/cwide. To make this a bit easier, create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin:

ln -s /usr/local/metrowerks/CodeWarrior3.3/cwide /usr/local/bin/cwide

Further information about CodeWarrior can be found on the Metrowerks WWW-Site: http://www.metrowerks.com/
