Get package
The best way is to get it from Partnerworld program.
Name of package is: C93D1NA.zip
Prerequisites
1, install mozilla package - should be >= 1.7.12 (apt-get install mozilla-browser)
2, create symlink to mozilla binary (ln -sf /usr/bin/mozilla-suite /usr/bin/mozilla)
3, edit /etc/gre.d/gre.conf to match your mozilla version (you can also add symlink /etc/gre.conf)
insert:
Code:
[1.7.13]
GRE_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla
4, Get Gnome libraries (I'm not sure which ones - i got Gnome as alternative Desktop)
Install
1, unpack C93D1NA.zip (unzip -d lotus C93D1NA.zip)
2, unpack Personality.zip
3, chmod +x on lotus/setup_wct_platform.bin and setuplinux.bin
4, copy setuplinux.bin to updateSite/features/com.ibm.workplace.notesinstall.linux.feature_7.0.1 .0000-0900/bin/linux/
5, run installer ./lotus/setup_wct_platform.bin as non-root user (it'll be a little bit complicated installing it as root, but it's possible)
6, as first, there will be Workplace Manged Client installed (agree to
licenses, set install path etc. to install it - don't forget to set privileges on install dirs ) and then you will be asked to install Lotus Notes Client plug-in, so be patient. At the end launch icon will be installed to your desktop.
7, after installation, empty client will be started so don't panic
8, close client
Setup
To start client correctly, you have to make some environment settings:
$CLASSPATH pointing to the top-level installation directory.
Add the top-level installation directory, and jvm/bin to your path
Set $NOTESDIR to the data subdirectory of the top-level installation directory
Set $NOTESBIN to the top-level installation directory
Add the subdirectories jvm/bin/classic, jvm/bin and the top-level installation directory to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Code:
example:
NOTESBIN=/home/malmo/notes
NOTESDATA=/home/malmo/notes/data
NOTESDIR=/home/malmo/notes/data
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NOTESBIN:$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin/classic:$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin:$NOTESBIN:$PATH
CLASSPATH=./:$NOTESBIN/:$CLASSPATH
export NOTESBIN NOTESDATA NOTESDIR LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH CLASSPATH
The way you do it is up to you
KDE:
I've put those variables into file (.notesrc) & sourcing it before launch of main app.
Code:
(command section in desktop file:
. /home/malmo/.notesrc;/opt/ibm/Workplace\ Managed\ Client/rcp/richclient -personality com.ibm.workplace.noteswc.standalone.linux.personality)
Gnome:
Create script to launch notes
e.g. /home/malmo/bin/notesstart
Code:
#!/bin/sh
NOTESBIN=/home/malmo/notes
NOTESDATA=/home/malmo/notes/data
NOTESDIR=/home/malmo/notes/data
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$NOTESBIN:$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin/classic:$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$NOTESBIN/jvm/bin:$NOTESBIN:$PATH
CLASSPATH=./:$NOTESBIN/:$CLASSPATH
export NOTESBIN NOTESDATA NOTESDIR LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH CLASSPATH
/opt/ibm/Workplace\ Managed\ Client/rcp/richclient -personality com.ibm.workplace.noteswc.standalone.linux.personality
chmod 755 notesstart
now you can edit launcher icon to point to script
Final:
Then, after launching application you should be able to setup Lotus Notes common way - LotusNotes wizard will pop-up.
Enjoy
