You'll always need the most recent + version of ACE and TAO because CIAO tracks changes to ACE and TAO very closely. + </p> + <hr> + <h3>Install CIDL Compiler + </h3> + <p>We suggest you download the prebuilt binary <code>cidlc(exe)</code> from <strong> + <a href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/cidlc/">here</a></strong> or, if you + are using Windows or Linux, you can build it by yourself. + </p> + <p><A href="../../MPC/README">MPC</A> is used to build the CIDL compiler on <strong> + Linux</strong>. The procedure is outlined below. + </p> + <ul> + <li> + Open up <code>$ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features</code> + and set <code>cidl=1</code> and <code>boost=1</code>, each on its own line. + <li> + Make sure you set cidl=1, boost=1, and exceptions=1 in <code>$ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platfrom_macros.GNU</code>. + <li> + Install <code>boost_filesystem</code>, <code>boost_regex</code> and <code>Utility + Library</code>. For how to do that please see <A href="./CCF/Documentation/Build.html"> + Build.html</A>. + <li> + In <code>$CIAO_ROOT/CIDLC</code> run <code>$ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl CIDLC.mwc -type gnuace</code> + <li> + In <code>$CIAO_ROOT/CIDLC</code> run <code>make</code>.<br> + Note: The linking time is a bit long (more than 5 Minutes with an Intel XEON + 1.90GHZ CPU, please be patient). + </li> + </ul> + <p><A href="../../MPC/README">MPC</A> is used to build the CIDL compiler on <strong> + Windows</strong>. The procedure is outlined below. + </p> + <ul> + <li> + If you have not created it already, create the file <code>%ACE_ROOT%/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features</code> + and add <code>cidl=1</code> and <code>boost=1</code> to it, each on its own + line. + <li> + Install the <a href="http://www.boost.org">Boost</a> + libraries on your machine. For Windows, you can download either the + Windows-specific .exe file or the platform-independent .zip file. Use version + 1.32.0 or later. The accompanying documentation on how to build and install + Boost is pretty straightforward. + <li> + Set the following environment variables: + <ul> + <li> + <code>ACE_ROOT</code> + - [path ending with ACE_wrappers directory] (this should already be + set if you're using CIAO) + <li> + <code>BOOST_CFG</code> - <code>_vc7_mdsd</code> + <li> + <code>BOOST_ROOT</code> + - [path ending with Boost directory] + <li> + <code>BOOST_VERSION</code> - [name of the directory under <code>%BOOST_ROOT%\include</code>, + for ex. <code>boost-1_32</code>, for Boost version 1.32.0] + </ul> + <li> + In <code>%CIAO_ROOT%\CIDLC</code> run <code>%ACE_ROOT%\bin\mwc.pl -type vc71 + CIDLC.mwc</code> + <li> + Open <code>CIDLC.sln</code> and build as usual. Within the solution, the CIDLC + project is the top-level one, which depends on all the other projects, and + produces <code>cidlc.exe</code> in <code>%CIAO_ROOT%\bin</code>. + </li> + </ul> + <hr> + <h3>Obtaining and Installing Xerces-C + </h3> + <p>The Xerces-C XML parsing library is a necessary component to build parts of + DAnCE that need to process XML based descriptor files, which include the <b>Plan + Launcher</b> and the <b>Repository Manager</b>. Currently, the only Xerces-C + version supported by the DOC group is version 2.6 or later. + Earlier versions of the Xerces-C library may work. + </p> + <h4>Building Xerces-C + </h4> + <p>You may check <a href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~wotte/xerces/">here</a> to + see if there is a prebuilt binary available for your platform. Otherwise, you + will have to obtain the source from the <a href="http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/download.cgi"> + Xerces-C webpage</a> and build it. Building Xerces-C is fairly + straightfoward. Please see the documentation available <a href="http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/build.html"> + here</a> for instructions particular to your platform. + </p> + <ul> + <li> + <strong>NOTE</strong>: Some of the provided projects with Xerces-C attach + inconsistant library decorators onto the end of the Xerces-C libraries. The MPC + build tool will expect these libraries to be named xerces-c for non debug + versions, and xerces-cd for debug versions. + </ul> + <h4>Xerces-C Environment Settings + </h4> + <p>If the Xerces includes and libraries are in your system include and library + paths, respectively, then you need not set up any environment and may proceed + to the next step. If not, you will need to set an environment variable named + XERCESCROOT to a path such that $XERCESCROOT/include points to the includes and + $XERCESCROOT/lib points to the libraries. Also make sure that $XERCESCROOT/lib + is in the appropriate environment variable that your platform uses to search + for dynamically linked libraries. + </p> + <hr> + <h3>Install CIAO core/tools/examples + </h3> + <p>Most of the GNUmakefiles/project files/solution files required to build CIAO + are available in the release. If you don't like the configurations used, please + feel free to regenerate them using MPC. Please see <A href="../../MPC/README">this</A> + for more details. + </p> + <p>To build CIAO core/tools/examples: + </p> + <ol> + <li> + Make sure ACE and TAO are built. + <li> + Make sure you have the Xerces-C libraries installed/built + <li> + Make sure all ACE/TAO/etc. generated libs are in <code>$ACE_ROOT/lib</code>.
