WinCCOA Open Suse LEAP Install

Post by c.fraenzer »

Hello everyone,

While trying to install OA on OpenSuse Leap i ran into a few missing packages. To make it easier for those who plan similar things here are the packages you need to install before installing OA.

Just run following commands and then install OA like written in readme.


in console type

Code: Select all

wget https://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.1/repo/oss/noarch/libicu60_2-ledata-60.2-lp151.2.4.noarch.rpm

then

sudo zypper install libicu60_2-ledata-60.2-lp151.2.4.noarch.rpm

then

wget https://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.1/repo/oss/x86_64/libicu60_2-60.2-lp151.2.4.x86_64.rpm

then 

sudo zypper install libicu60_2-60.2-lp151.2.4.x86_64.rpm

after that check if everything worked right with

zypper info libicu60_2

you should get something like this

Informationen zu Paket libicu60_2:
----------------------------------
Repository         : @System
Name               : libicu60_2
Version            : 60.2-lp151.2.4
Arch               : x86_64
Anbieter           : openSUSE
Installierte Größe : 4,8 MiB
Installiert        : Ja
Status             : aktuell
Quellpaket         : icu-60.2-lp151.2.4.src
Zusammenfassung    : International Components for Unicode
Beschreibung       :
    ICU is a set of C and C++ libraries that provide extensive Unicode
    and locale support.
    This package contains the runtime libraries for ICU.


once that has happend you can now remove the two rpm files since you will not need them anymore.

this is done with 

rm libicu60_2-60.2-lp151.2.4.x86_64.rpm libicu60_2-ledata-60.2-lp151.2.4.noarch.rpm

once that is done just install WinCCOA like written in the readme.

Please take into account that OpenSuse Leap is officially not supported.

When you want to run WinCC OA on a Linux system you have to use one of the supported operating systems, e.g. for 3.17-P005 the following ones are supported:
Linux RedHat - Enterprise Linux 8 64bit (Build-Version: 8.2)
CentOS - CentOS 8 64bit (Build-Version: 8.2.2004)
SUSE Linux Enterprise - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 15 SP1 64bit

No offense

i know that but let me just tell you that in youre download area it clearly says OpenSuse

because of that i ran into this issue.

So maybe changing the download center would help a lot. Not everyone reads the system specs if the download link says opensuse

The "OpenSuse" information is correct for older versions.
The name of the 3.16 and 3.17 link will be modified.
