Windows tool to compile forms on unix server

user346369Dec 3 2007 — edited Jan 30 2009
We have one client using Forms 6i on the web, so I need to test in this environment.

Currently to compile the fmb on the unix platform, I use Hummingbird software (Connectivity, Exceed, Xstart) to run the compile using the command f60genm.

I do not particularly like the Hummingbird software, as it takes a lot of software just to run an X-windows terminal session. However, it seems to be necessary, because the unix administrator tells me the Forms 6 compiler in this environment apparently "needs to connect to the Xwindows graphics library."

If I try to run the f60genm comand from a SSH Secure Shell connection, I get the error:
    FRM-91500: Unable to start/complete the build.
I get the same error in the Xstart session if I use the f60gen command (without the "m").

However, if I type "f60genm" without any parameters in the Xstart window, a second xwindows application pops up where I can enter Forms compile options (login and module information.)

If anyone is familiar with unix: Is there maybe a path or environment command I could try in the SSH Secure Shell session that would satisfy the Xwindows graphics library requirement, so I could then run the compile without using Hummingbird?

Thanks in advance.
