3.4 Installing the Freeway Software onto a Client Computer
This section describes how to install the Freeway software (which includes the DLI/TSI
library) from the Freeway distribution CDROM onto a client computer. You need to
install this software on your system if you plan to use this system to compile and run the
protocol loopback programs or if you plan to develop your own client program on this
system. You will also need to install this software if you plan to use this computer as a
boot server to boot the Freeway.
3.4.1 What the Freeway Software CDROM Includes
Freeway software distribution CDROM includes several files designed to assist the pro-
grammer in developing a client application that will communicate with the Freeway
Server. The files within the Freeway CDROM can be classified into the following major
groups:
• Freeway server software
• Client DLI/TSI Library Source Code and make files
• Freeway server and DLI/TSI Documentation
The Freeway server software files are essentially a duplicate of the files that are installed
on your Freeway Server’s flash or hard disk drive. You will not need to access these files
unless you are planning to configure your client system as a Freeway boot server. For
more information about configuring a boot server, refer to Chapter 8 after finishing the
installing of the Freeway Client Software.
The Client DLI/TSI software consists of the source code for the DLI and TSI API Librar-
ies which you will build later in this chapter. After the installation, all of the files will
reside inside the
freeway root directory and its corresponding subdirectories. This direc-
tory structure is called the “Freeway directory tree”.
