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. Bundled - with the TAO release is - HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html">ACE. You will need - the most recent 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 is also 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 [2]ACE - installation notes. - 2. Build and install ACE under $ACE_ROOT. - + Change directory to $ACE_ROOT/ace and execute [3]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 [4]make. - 5. Change directory to $TAO_ROOT/tests and execute [5]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 "C:/Program Files/DevStudio/VC/bin". - Your location may vary, however. Notice that if you forget to set this - variable before compiling TAO_IDL, you can use CPP_LOCATION to specify - the absolute pathname to CL.exe. We set if to "C:/Program - Files/DevStudio/VC/bin/CL.exe" when we do use 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. To build the Cubit test, load the project file - tests\Cubit\TAO\test.mdp and build both client and server. - _________________________________________________________________ - - Back to the [6]TAO home page. - -References - - 1. http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO-obtain.html - 2. http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/ACE-INSTALL.html - 3. file://localhost/project/adaptive/ACE_wrappers/TAO/TAO-INSTALL.html#makenotes - 4. file://localhost/project/adaptive/ACE_wrappers/TAO/TAO-INSTALL.html#makenotes - 5. file://localhost/project/adaptive/ACE_wrappers/TAO/TAO-INSTALL.html#makenotes - 6. http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO.html |
