The Software Transition Kit can either be installed in its entirety (recommended) or you can choose to install only the tools component. If you choose to install only the tools, then complete functionality will depend on your Web browser having Internet access to devresource.hp.com. If you cannot or choose not to depend on Internet access to devresource.hp.com then you must install the full package which will require a local Web server to serve documents and run CGI programs. The Apache Web Server is recommended.

If you choose to install only the STK tools component it is possible that incompatibilities may arise in the future when the STK or a component of the STK on devresource.hp.com is updated.

Configuring the STK

After the installation is complete, you may need to configure the HP-UX STK.

User (client) configuration

You may want to add /opt/STK/bin to your PATH, and /opt/STK/share/man to your MANPATH.

If you chose to install the full STK package, then the /etc/opt/STK/config/client file should have been configured to use your local Web server. In this case, verify these definitions (substituting your system's full host name for "hostname"):

STK_HOME=http://hostname/STK
    STK_CGI_BIN=http://hostname/STK/cgi-bin/

If you chose to install the STK tools only, then the /etc/opt/STK/config/client file should have been configured to use the devresource.hp.com Web server. In this case, verify these definitions:

STK_HOME=http://devresource.hp.com/STK
    STK_CGI_BIN=http://devresource.hp.com/STK/cgi-bin/

To use the links in the scandetail reports that bring up the source code files in your editor at the line in question, you need to configure your Web browser to understand the MIME type application/stkedit.

Before you open the 'file:' URL to view a scandetail report you need to have added the MIME type to your browser. For Netscape Navigator:

Navigate the menus to Edit/Preferences/Navigator/Applications.
Choose the "New.." button
- specify the MIMEType of application/stkedit,
- click the "Application" button and specify "/opt/STK/bin/stkedit %s".

To pick which editor you want to use, define the STK_EDITOR environment variable before you run scandetail. Legal values are emacs, xemacs, gvim, or vi. vi is the default.

If the editor is vi, it will be run in a terminal emulator. If you are using CDE, the default terminal emulator will be dtterm, otherwise it will be xterm. To specify a specific terminal emulator, define the STK_TERM environment variable to the full path to the desired terminal emulator. This environment variable must be defined prior to starting your web browser.

Web server configuration

If you chose to install the full package, the installation will configure an installed Apache Web Server as required, but configuration of any other Web server (e.g., Netscape/iPlanet) is left to the user. These Apache Web Server installations can be automatically configured by the STK installation procedures:

On HP-UX, the HP Apache Web Server, as installed in /opt/apache/ or /opt/hpws/apache/, will be configured for use with the STK by the installation.

If found, the the STK installation procedures will append these lines to the end of the Apache configuration file /opt/apache/conf/httpd.conf or /opt/hpws/apache/conf/httpd.conf:

ScriptAlias /STK/cgi-bin/ /opt/STK/cgi-bin/
    <Directory /opt/STK/cgi-bin>
            AllowOverride None
            Options None
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
    </Directory>
    Alias /STK /opt/STK/htdocs
    <Directory /opt/STK/htdocs>
            Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride None
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
    </Directory>

If you install the Apache Web Server after the STK installation, you can configure it by adding those lines to the end of the httpd.conf file. Then, restart your Web server as follows:

# /opt/apache/bin/apachectl restart

# /opt/hpws/apache/bin/apachectl restart

Uninstalling the HP-UX STK

To uninstall the HP-UX STK on HP-UX, use the swremove command.
