Using the UDK

Using the UDK

This topic is part of Porting, integration, and compatibility.

UnixWare 7 and the UnixWare and OpenServer Development Kit (UDK) provide a natural migration path for your applications. The UDK can be installed on any SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.4, SCO UnixWare 2.1.2, or UnixWare 7 system.

The common development environment provided by the UDK allows you to maximize your development effort for Caldera platforms.

In effect, UnixWare 7 supports two different ABIs: the (de facto) SCO OpenServer Release 5 ABI and the System V Intel x86 ABI. SCO UnixWare 2.1.X will generate only System V Intel x86 ABI applications. (See ``UnixWare standards conformance''.)

In addition, the common execution environment provided by the UnixWare 7 kernel and runtime libraries permits you to run most existing SCO OpenServer and SCO UnixWare 2.1.X applications without modification:

The remainder of the sections in this ``Using the UDK'' topic describe various aspects of using the UDK on the supported platforms.

The more general subject of using the UDK libraries, compilers, header files and other tools on any platform is documented under the other topics in Software development documentation.
