2 System Prerequisites

This chapter lists the hardware and software prerequisites that must be fulfilled for a successful installation of SDT. By reading this chapter, you will reduce the risk of running into problems that are subject to terminate the installation, or may lead to malfunctions or unexpected behavior when running the SDT software.

Hardware

This section describes the hardware requirements for SDT 3.02.

Supported Architectures

Installation Prerequisites

The SDT 3.02 distribution includes binaries for several different computer architectures, samples, examples, help text files and the SDT documentation. During the installation procedure, you may choose what parts to install. The table below shows the amount of disk space the different components will require.

------------------------------------------------------------
(a)
The disk space requirements are maximum values for a single architecture binary. If binaries for more than one architecture are installed, less disk space is required due to components that are common to all architectures.

Run-time Prerequisites

To run SDT 3.02 properly we recommend a certain amount of main memory and swap size; please see the section "Operating System" (below).

Software

This section describes the software requirements for SDT 3.02.

-----------------------------------------------------------
(a)
Additional main memory will increase the performance when you work with SDT.
(b)
Based on Telelogic's experiences when running SDT. The minimum swap size should be at least twice the installed main memory. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caution!  (HP-UX only)                                                    
If you are installing SDT on HP workstations and your SDT config          
uration includes the SDT Validator, SDT TTCN Link, SDT Applica            
tion Library or SDT Cadvanced, HP-UX must be configured in or             
der to support long file names. Failing to comply to this require         
ment will result in an unsuccessful installation. In all circumstances,   
we strongly recommend you to configure HP-UX so that long file            
names are supported. Otherwise, file names generated by the SDT           
Analyzer and Code Generators may be truncated, resulting in unex          
pected behavior.                                                          
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Graphical Environment

SDT is an X Window System application to be executed under the Motif Window Manager (Mwm).

Windowing System

SDT 3.02 requires the X Window System, version R5, and the Motif window manager, version 1.2.4. The X Window System and the Motif window manager are provided by your workstation supplier. On SUN systems, the necessary files are included with the delivery of SDT 3.02 (X11 R5 patch level 26).

Compiler Environment

A C compiler is required for the SDT Simulation, Validation and TTCN-Link features, and the Cadvanced code generation for host and target environments.

The libraries included in the distribution of the SDT Simulation, Validation and TTCN-Link features were compiled using the following C Compilers:

Other Recommended Software

The SDT 3.02 Help Utility requires a tool that can view files in FrameMaker or HTML format. SDT 3.02 supports this by a built-in HTML viewer. Other tools that can be used as alternative are FrameMaker, FrameViewer, FrameBuilder, Mosaic, and Netscape.
