I took two weeks until it works. I was intresting on the data-structure of the sql-database. My idea ist to use kontor and write missing parts with GNUe-komponents. Unfortunately, GNUe is under heavy development and we have to wait at least a year. :-( I had to make a lot changes in kontor. I can't imagine that it worked "out of the box" on a machnine somewhere. Here my experiences: 0. Download my kontor-source from www.olvenstedt.de/kontor_20040525.tgz . Note that source has a lot of changes. Use it only for experimental! I have never printed something or stored some articles. It is verry, verry probably that some errors occur. I got a lot SQL-errors (missing fields and other simple things). Everytime it occour, i had to fix sql-installation script. More later. Extract it for the first time the source on the same place like on my machine. If everything is running you can change it. Extract to /source /ext /kontor /IoS /CVS /htdocs ...etc. 1. I uses JDK 1.4 (j2sdk-1_4_2-nb-3_5_1-bin-linux.bin downloaded from SUN) Installed in the default /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/. There is a class Iterator in kontor and Sun impemented a interface Iterator, starting from version 1.4. I had to rewrite the code to full qualify all occurence of Iterator. (Iterator => de.ios.framework.basic.Iterator) 2. Download from postgresql.org the fitting "postgresql.jar". The name is slightliy different. In my case pg74.213.jdbc3.jar. Move/rename it to /usr/share/java/postgresql.jar. 3. I use debian. I had to install (apt-get install package) - postgresql - postgresql-contrib (this includes the used refint.so) 4. - create a user "postgres" with password "post" as (system-account? - i am not sure) _and_ postgresql-user ("createuser postgres -P") - "createuser kontor -P" mit password kontor - cd /source/ext/kontor/IoS/kontor/bin/tools - "createdb iosdb" - "./createDB.sh postgres post" - if you see an error: read carfully the message, "dropdb iosdb", and start again on "createdb iosdb" - cd .. - ./kontor.server - now the server should run - cd /source/ext/kontor/IoS/kontor/bin/tools - "./createMenu.sh etc/kontor.en" - "./kontor.menu" Now, the client should run, login as admin mit password admin Additional hints: A central point of the installation is /source/ext/kontor/IoS/kontor/sql/PostgreSQL/kontor.create.sql. I had the most problem here. I had the feeling, that Adabas is case sensitive and postgre is case intensive. So i removed any CamelCase. One nessesary change in java was: sTableName to sTableName.toLowerCase() !! I compiled the project with a "make" from kontor/IoS/framework/java _and_ kontor/IoS/kontor/java (the tgz-file, mentioned above, is alread compiled) But i needed some *.class they not exists as *.java! ./IoS/framework/classes/de/ios/framework/db2/DBObjectHashCode.class ./IoS/kontor/classes/de/ios/kontor/cl/main/StammdatenP.class ./IoS/kontor/classes/de/ios/kontor/cl/main/BuchhaltungP.class ./IoS/kontor/classes/de/ios/kontor/cl/main/FinanzP.class ./IoS/kontor/classes/de/ios/kontor/cl/main/MainP.class ./IoS/kontor/classes/de/ios/kontor/cl/main/VerkaufP.class ./IoS/kontor/classes/de/ios/kontor/cl/main/LagerP.class ./IoS/framework/classes/de/ios/framework/gui/VLP.class ./IoS/kontor/classes/de/ios/kontor/cl/main/StammdatenP.class ./IoS/kontor/classes/de/ios/kontor/cl/main/BuchhaltungP.class ./IoS/kontor/classes/de/ios/kontor/cl/main/FinanzP.class ./IoS/kontor/classes/de/ios/kontor/cl/main/AuswertungP.class I simple moved it from the bin-distribution. All classes end with a P. Perhaps there is a way to create the classes? Any Idea? Look also in the outdated installation-pdf on kontor-homepage. Also download the old homepage. There are some hints too. Thank you also to http://www.bytesitter.de/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=listarticles&secid=1 Unfortunately, your installation-script does not work for me, but some good hints i got.
