I expect that major portions of the release will port easily to + other platforms that ACE has been ported to. If you can help port TAO + to other platforms we'd appreciate it. + + TAO can be obtained [1]electronically via the WWW and ftp. Besides + getting the [2]TAO release you will need [3]ACE. You will likely need + the most recent [4]beta version of ACE because TAO tends to track + changes to ACE rather closely. + + A quick build note for users who have used ACE with other ORBs: + linking TAO with a version of ACE that must also be linked against + another ORB vendor's library, e.g., liborbix.so, will produce + undefined and most likely unpredictable and erroneous results. + + _________________________________________________________________ + + On UNIX platforms + + 1. Set ACE_ROOT environment variable as outlined in the [5]ACE + installation notes. + 2. Build and install ACE under $ACE_ROOT. + + Change directory to $ACE_ROOT/ace and execute [6]make. + 3. Set TAO_ROOT environment variable to $ACE_ROOT/TAO. + 4. Build and install the TAO release under $TAO_ROOT. + + Change directory to $TAO_ROOT/tao and execute [7]make. + 5. Change directory to $TAO_ROOT/tests and execute [8]make. + 6. Follow instructions on executing the various examples under + $TAO_ROOT/tests. + + _A Note On Make_ + + Since TAO is built atop ACE, TAO re-uses ACE's Makefile structure as + well. Thus, just like ACE requires GNU Make, so too does TAO. More + exactly, versions of make which are known to _not_ work include those + from Solaris 4.x and 5.x, HP-UX, the latest BSD, etc. + + GNU Make can be obtained from various places in source form. + _________________________________________________________________ + + On Windows NT + + Before compiling TAO_IDL on NT, you may need to set the environment + variable CPP_PATH to where CL.exe is installed on your machine. By + default, we set this variable to to "C:/Program + Files/DevStudio/VC/bin". Your location may vary, however. Notice that + if you forget to set this variable, you must rebuild TAO_IDL after + setting it. + + Visual C++ 5.0 + + It works best if TAO is placed in ACE_wrappers so TAO ends up in + ACE_wrappers\TAO because the Visual C++ 5.0 Project files are set up + to work in this configuration. If you move it, then make sure you + change the project file to look for the include and library files in + the correct place. + + 1. Make sure ACE is built (For Visual C++ 5.0, use ace.dsw or + ace-vc50.dsw, whichever is in your copy of ACE). + + 2. Load the workspace tao\TAO.dsw and build the TAO library. + + 3. To build the Cubit test, load the workspace + tests\Cubit\TAO\test.dsw and build both client and server. + + Visual C++ 4.x + + 1. In Tools|Options, go to the Directories page and make sure that + include files paths includes ACE_wrappers\ and the root directory + of TAO (which can be ACE_wrappers\TAO if installed there). The + library files paths should include ACE_wrappers\ace. + 2. Load the project file tao\TAO.mdp and build the TAO library. + 3.
