CIAO only uses - MPC. MPC, however, assumes a slightly different - directory structure than the stock, old ACE - Makefile/project files. Therefore, it is - a bit adventurous to compile CIAO at this time - of transition. Here are some hints that you - can try to make this work a bit easier. - - 1. Make sure to add $ACE_ROOT/lib into your - PATH, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (before - $ACE_ROOT/bin) - - 2. Make sure you don't have old CIAO libraries - DLL and so files) hanging around. - - 3. If prefered, you can re-generate the Makefile, - project files for all/core ACE/TAO libraries. - (e.g., using $ACE_ROOT/TAO/TAOACE.mwc.) - - ************************************************* - - CIAO depends on many CORBA features to function properly so you need - to compile them first. Here is a non-exhaustive list: - - ACEXML_Parser, - - Valuetype - IORInterceptor - ObjRefTemplate - Security - PortableServer - IFR_Client - - RTPortableServer - RTCORBA - -and also the libraries they depends on. - - - On Linux, try defining these in the platform_macros.GNU - - exceptions=1 - interface_repo=1 - ssl=1 - -* Compiling CIAO core libraries and tools: - - Assuming CIAO_ROOT = ACE_wrappers/TAO/CIAO/ - - Compile the following directories: - - - $CIAO_ROOT/ciao/ - - $CIAO_ROOT/tools/XML_Helpers - $CIAO_ROOT/tools/ComponentServer - $CIAO_ROOT/tools/ServerActivator - $CIAO_ROOT/tools/Assembly_Deployer - $CIAO_ROOT/tools/Daemon - - You need to creating the Makefile of your choice.. - For example, for unix makefile: - - $ cd $CIAO_ROOT/ciao/ - $ $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/mwc.pl - $ make - - To regenerate VC7.1.NET project files, do: - - > cd $CIAO_ROOT/ciao - > $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/mwc.pl -type vc71 - -* You also need to build the CIDL compiler before trying out any - examples. The CIDL compiler, CIDLC, compiles your component - implementation definition and generates the necessary glue code for - developing and deploying components. Pleas see - $CIAO_ROOT/CIDLC/README.html for instructions on how to build and - use CIDLC. - -* Now you can play with the examples: - - - $CIAO_ROOT/examples/Hello - - This is a single component example. Check out run_test.pl to see - how you can instantiate a single component using CIAO. - - - $CIAO_ROOT/examples/OEP/Display - - This is a multiple-component example. RateGen component - subdirectory contains a run_test.pl that you can use to - instantiate a component instance, like you would do with the - Hello example. The other components require collaboration with - other components and I don't have client programs to test them - out individually. - - This example also lets you compose all the components into a - distributed application using the Assembly_Deployer. Change - directory to - - $CIAO_ROOT/examples/OEP/Display/descriptors - - and take a look at the file: NOTE.txt. This file describes the - steps to compose the application using various different - configurations and composition specs. - - - $CIAO_ROOT/examples/OEP/BasicSP - - This is a new multi-component example. It has the similar - struture as the Dsiplay example above. - - -* If you can not find the - Makefiles for unix platform you are using, you can use mwc to create - them. For examples, to compile the multi-component example, use the - following: - - $ cd $CIAO_ROOT/examples/Display - $ $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/mwc.pl - $ make - - To regenerate VC6 dsp files, do: - - > cd $CIAO_ROOT/examples/Display - > $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/mwc.pl -type vc6 - - Likewise, to regenerate VC7.NET project files, do: - - > cd $CIAO_ROOT/examples/Display - > $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/mwc.pl -type vc7 - - |
