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. <P> - -TAO can be obtained <A -HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO-obtain.html">electronically</A> -via the WWW and ftp. Bundled with the TAO release is -HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html">ACE</A>. You will -need the most recent version of ACE because TAO tends to track changes -to ACE rather closely. <P> - -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, <EM>e.g.</EM>, liborbix.so, will produce -undefined and most likely unpredictable and erroneous results. <P> - -<HR><P> -<h3>On UNIX platforms</h3> - - <ol> - <li>Set <code>ACE_ROOT</code> environment variable as outlined - in the <a -href="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/ACE-INSTALL.html">ACE -installation - notes</a>.</li> <P> - - <li>Build and install ACE under <CODE>$ACE_ROOT</CODE>.</li> <P> - - <UL> - <li>Change directory to <code>$ACE_ROOT/ace</code> and execute - <code><a href="#makenotes">make</a></code>.</li> <P> - </UL> - - <li>Set <code>TAO_ROOT</code> environment variable to - <CODE>$ACE_ROOT/TAO</CODE>. <P> - - <li>Build and install the TAO release under <CODE>$TAO_ROOT</CODE>.</li> <P> - - <UL> - <li>Change directory to <code>$TAO_ROOT/tao</code> and - execute <code><a href="#makenotes">make</a></code>.</li> <P> - </UL> - - <li>Change directory to <code>$TAO_ROOT/tests</code> and - execute <code><a href="#makenotes">make</a></code>.</li> <P> - - <li>Follow instructions on executing the various examples under - <code>$TAO_ROOT/tests</code>.<P> - - </ol> - - <h4><strong><a name="makenotes">A Note On Make</a></strong></h4> - <p> - 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 <code>make</code> which - are known to <em>not</em> work include those from Solaris 4.x - and 5.x, HP-UX, the latest BSD, etc. - <p> - GNU Make can be obtained from various places in source form. - - -<HR><P> -<H3>On Windows NT</H3> - -Before compiling <CODE>TAO_IDL</CODE> on NT, you may need to set the -environment variable <CODE>CPP_PATH</CODE> 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 -<CODE>TAO_IDL</CODE>, you can use <CODE>CPP_LOCATION</CODE> to specify -the absolute pathname to CL.exe.
