Buildpack vs Runtime

[SergioG_TX]

I am able to create a buildpack in SAP HANA XSA, and by definition, it should provide framework and runtime.

When I execute the command xs buildpacks I can see my new buildpack included in the list, however, if I run xs runtimes I do not see the runtime I wish to see. It does not show the runtime that came with the buildpack. Is there a way to get the runtime installed in XSA from the buildpack I have installed? and not need to install a runtime separately? It does not make sense to me just yet - what am I missing? I have tried installing the buildpack and got it into the system. I have tried installing the runtime but keep getting errors on the installation due to a missing gcc (c compiler) and other stuff I am not familiar with

Hi Sergio,

I am not familiar with your issue but I would expect the functionality to work very similar to Cloud Foundry's. Is there any specific information missing from the guides?

A how-to for PHP is documented
