Advanced installation

Limitations of non-default installation
Although non-default installation gives you more freedom to choose how many versions of XL C to keep on your system and where to install them, in many ways a non-default installation is also more restrictive, demanding to implement, and difficult to maintain than a basic installation.

Tasks for advanced installation
Before you perform an advanced installation, you must make sure that you have a user account with administrator privileges and that your system meets all system requirements. You might also want to uninstall any previous versions of XL C on your system. After you have finished installing the compiler you must confirm that the installation has been successful and enable the man pages of the compiler.

Non-default installation procedure
To install XL C to a non-default location, first use installp to install the vac.ndi fileset, then use the vacndi Perl script included in that fileset to install the compiler.

Running XL C from a non-default location
The compiler invocation commands are installed to /target_dir/usr/vac/bin/, where target_dir is the location of the compiler as set by the -b flag during the non-default installation.
