This section provides information on setting up the IDL Development Environment to support the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) File Manager for HP-UX, Solaris, and Tru64 UNIX. Setting up the IDLDE to provide CDE File Manager support allows you to do the following:
During installation, the CDE Action File, Idl.dt, is installed in /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C/ on the local machine, if this directory has write permissions. This file provides the necessary support for the CDE File Manager on that machine. However, if IDL is installed on a server and is run on various client machines, the CDE Action File must be manually copied to each client machine on which you want to provide support for the CDE File Manager. This file must also be copied to the server if the /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C/ directory did not have write permissions at installation time. If the local machine does not contain the Idl.dt file in the /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C/ directory, do the following:
Idl.dt file in the directory $IDL_DIR/bin.Idl.dt to the /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C/ directory on the local machine. If the /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C/ directory does not exist, copy the file to the /usr/dt/appconfig/types/C/ directory.Idl.dt file, verify that the path to the RSI_Dir/bin directory in the ACTION Idl section is correct for the local machine. For example, if IDL is located in the /usr/local/rsi/ directory, the ACTION Idl section should look like this:
ACTION Idl
{
LABEL Idl
TYPE COMMAND
EXEC_STRING /bin/sh -c `.
/usr/local/rsi/idl_setup.ksh;idl -c -e %Arg_1%'
ICON Dtactn
WINDOW_TYPE NO_STDIO
