Platform Specific Notes

---

OS/2 Warp

The installation directory for Simplicity for Mobile Devices as well as the Project directory must be located on an HPFS drive.

OS/2 users may wish to execute the simpwps.cmd file. This REXX script will create a WPS object on the OS/2 desktop for starting Simplicity for Mobile Devices.

We recommend using jdk13 from IBM. IBM's Software Choice page is located at http://www.ibm.com/software/os/warp/swchoice/.

The debugger needs to have the localhost interface enabled. You can do this by typing the following command in an OS/2 window:

ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up

Note that this will be reset when you next reboot your computer.

Linux

Before installing Simplicity for Mobile Devices, make sure that you have the latest Linux JDK from Sun or www.blackdown.org.

Mac OS 8.x, 9.x

JDK 1.3 is not available for the "classic" Mac OS (7.x, 8.x, 9.x), and Simplicity for Mobile Devices will not run on the classic Mac OS. See Mac OS X notes for more information about running Simplicity for Mobile Devices on the Macintosh.

Solaris

Solaris 8 users will need to be sure to edit the first line of the shell script as described in the script.

SCO UnixWare

On some SCO machines, Simplicity for Mobile Devices will stall shortly after starting. This can be fixed by removing the -mx100m argument from the startup script. (Uncomment the appropriate line in the startup script.)
