Overview
OGRSH II is implemented in a combination of Java version 5.x (aka version 1.5.x) and GNU C/C++. It is designed to be as self-contained as practical to avoid a complicated installation process. However, it does rely on a pre-existing install of the Genesis II system. Whereever possible, the OGRSH installation includes a copy of an embedded, freely-licensed, software product for required 3rd party components and by default OGRSH is confured to use these included components. Currently, the OGRSH installation packages do not require you to download or configure any third party software except the Java Runetime Environment, Genesis II, and OGRSH itself.
Requirements
- You must have a machine running a supported operating system.
- You must have Genesis II installed and properly configured.
Instructions for Download & Installation
Download the version of OGRSH that you intend to use. Over time, we will release new versions of OGRSH, including alpha, beta, production and patch releases. The installation bundle contains all necessary embedded third party components as well as pre-compiled OGRSH binaries (.jars), packaged into a single Java .jar file (produced by the IzPack Installer Generator tool). Go to the downloads section to obtain the proper installation bundle.
Install OGRSH by issueing the command
java -jar <name of installer jar file>
Please note that the installer has a graphical interface, so currently it will not run if you are not running a windowing system (e.g. XWindows on Linux). The installer will allow you to choose where to install OGRSH (we will refer to your chosen location as $GEN_HOME). Please note that this location must be identical to the location into which you have already installed a valid Genesis II system.
That's it. You can now start using the OGRSH software shim. To start using the shim, changed directory into $GEN_HOME/OGRSH and run the shim-x86.sh or shim-x86-64.sh script (as appropriate for your platform) with a binary and it's arguments as the command line args. For example, to run bash using the software shim, you would issue the command line ./shim-x86.sh /bin/bash -l (or equivalent).
