It guides you through multiple ways to perform tasks and directs you to reference information in cases requiring atypical installations. It also shows you how to test the installation, launch remotely-accessible HTML help, and view different types of documentation. Please read it carefully before installing. Please also read the README file in the root directory of your installation media, which contains current information about the compiler. Who should read this document This document is intended for anyone responsible for installing IBM XL C/C++ for Blue Gene/Q, V12.1. The basic installation methods detailed in this document address the needs of the majority of users. Basic examples are tailored to reflect, as much as possible, the steps required to perform a basic installation. The advanced installation method addresses the needs of users who require a customized installation for various purposes, such as maintaining more than one version of XL C/C++ on a single system. These are users who are familiar with compiler installations and with the file structures of the versions of the compiler products installed on the system. In this document, you are referred to as an advanced user. How to use this document This document provides procedures for three main installation scenarios: "Basic" installation This scenario allows you to install a single version of XL C/C++ to a default location. This scenario is applicable to the majority of users, and is the recommended method of installation. For an overview of the steps that you need to follow to perform a basic installation, refer to Chapter 2, “Basic installation,” on page 7. "Advanced" installation This scenario allows you to maintain multiple versions of XL C/C++ on a single system, or to install the compiler to a nondefault location. This scenario is only applicable to advanced users who have specialized needs, and is not recommended for the majority of users. For an overview of the steps that you need to follow to perform an advanced installation, refer to Chapter 3, “Advanced installation,” on page 11. "Update" installation This scenario applies to users who have obtained a Program Temporary Fix (PTF) package for an existing XL C/C++ V12.1 installation. For an overview of the steps required to install a PTF, refer to Chapter 4, “Installing an update,” on page 19. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2003, 2012 v For highly specialized installation scenarios that are outside the scope of this document, refer to the Technotes at http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/ xlcpp/features/bg/. How this document is organized This book is organized to reflect the pre-installation, installation, post-installation, and troubleshooting phases of an XL C/C++ installation. Table 1.

Qualifying elements (icons) Most features described in this information apply to both C and C++ languages. In descriptions of language elements where a feature is exclusive to one language, or where functionality differs between languages, this information uses icons to delineate segments of text as follows: Table 3. Qualifying elements Qualifier/Icon Meaning C only, or C only begins The text describes a feature that is supported in the C language C only; or describes behavior that is specific to the C language. C C only ends C++ only, or C++ only The text describes a feature that is supported in the C++ begins language only; or describes behavior that is specific to the C++ C++ language.
