New page

== Port Status ==

SCO OpenServer is a [[Tier 2 Port]]

== Testing Details ==

We build and test the SCO OpenServer port on a system with the following specifications:

* ESXi Virtual Machine
* SCO OpenServer 5.0.7
* gcc v2.95.3
* autoconf 2.54
* automake 1.7.1

This port requires significant manual intervention to build, given the old version of GNU autotools in play.

== Required Kernel Tuning ==

You must set the maximum size of a shared memory segment to at least 6MB. This can be accomplished with the 'scoadmin' utility.

Once this parameter is adjusted, you must re-link the kernel, also from 'scoadmin'.
