This information in this file is -historical in nature and the much of the specific information probably -is inaccurate with respect to the current state of TAO IDL. Please -see the ../TAO-INSTALL.html documentation that comes with TAO for -up-to-date information on the installation process. - -Specifically, some of the files referred to below have been renamed in -TAO IDL. - -INTERFACE DEFINITION LANGUAGE INSTALLATION GUIDE --==============================================- - -INTRODUCTION - -This file describes the installation process for OMG_IDL_CFE version 1.3. -This file explains how to: - -- install the source code -- modify the sources to customize them for different configurations -- modify the sources to implement your own back end - -TESTED CONFIGURATIONS - -This release has been tested and is believed to operate correctly on: -- SunPro Sparcworks 2.x and 3.0 on SunOS 4.1.x -- SunPro Sparcworks 2.x and 3.0 on Solaris 2.3 -- g++ 2.5.8 on SunOS 4.1.x -- g++ 2.5.8 on Solaris 2.3 - -This is the first release of OMG IDL CFE which is preconfigured to compile -correctly for Solaris 2.x and with SunPro SparcWorks compilers. - -CUSTOMIZATION - -The release contains a file idl_make_vars in the current directory, -which is included in each Makefile. This file defines all the -customizable variables for the CFE. - -OSV should be set to a string denoting the operating system upon which -you wish to build the CFE. The CFE as shipped is preconfigured to -compile correctly on Solaris 2.x (OSV=SOLARIS2), and has also been -tested on SunOS 4.1.x (OSV=SUNOS4). It contains code donated by HP -which enables it to be compiled on Apollo Domain systems (OSV=apollo) -and HPUX systems (OSV=hpux), but these two configurations have not -been tested. - -C++ and CCC should be set to identify the C++ compiler you will use to -compile this release. Their values should be identical. Both are set -to address differences between various make programs - some predefine -CCC, others use C++ to denote the C++ compiler. The possible values -are CC (which uses the Sparcworks compilers on SunOS 4.1 and Solaris -2.3) and g++, which uses the installed version of GNU C++. - -CCFLAGS should be set to a list of flags to pass to the C++ -compiler. As shipped, this list is -g. NOTE: We have not extensively -tested the release with optimization turned on. - -CPP_FLAGS should be set to a list of flags to pass to the C++ -preprocessor. Use this variable to enable or disable specific -customizations you make to the BE or CFE sources. - -YFLAGS should be set to a list of flags to pass to the Yacc -program. As shipped, the list is -d -t, which causes Yacc to generate -y.tab.h and y.tab.c files. - -LEXFLAGS should be set to a list of flags to pass to the Lex -program. As shipped, the list -t. - -RANLIB should be set to the location of the ranlib program on your -system. As shipped this is ranlib. If your system has no ranlib you -can set this variable to ':' or /bin/true. As shipped the variable is -preset to /bin/true since Solaris 2.x does not use ranlib. - -AR should be set to the location of the ar program on your system. As -shipped this is ar. If your system has a different mechanism for -creating libraries, you should modify the value of this variable -accordingly. - -ARFLAGS should be set to the flags to be passed to the ar program. As -shipped this is 'crv'. - -INSTALLATION - -a. Disk space requirements - -This distribution requires approximately 350 KBytes when -compressed. When uncompressed, untarred and compiled, approximately 10 -MBytes of disk space are consumed on a Sun 4. - -b. Getting the software - -Use anonymous FTP to omg.org and supply your e-mail address as -password. Change directories to pub/OMG_IDL_CFE_1.3, set bin and get -the compressed tar file OMG_IDL_CFE_1.3.tar.Z. - -The distribution may, in the future, be made available from other -archives on the Internet. However, omg.org will always have the most -up-to-date version of this software. - -After transferring this file, uncompress it and untar it in a -directory of your choice. - -c. Compiling it - -If you are using a Sparcstation running Solaris 2.x and have the -SunPro Sparcworks compilers installed, you may directly install the -software. If your hardware or operating system configurations are -different, read and follow the instructions in the previous section -first. - -At the root directory of the release, issue - - % make - -or - - % make all - -This will compile the provided sources and the sources found in the be -directory. Executing this make target causes 'make all' to be invoked -in each subdirectory, resulting in building the libraries for each -component and finally a link step producing an executable IDL -compiler. - -In order to make only the compiler front end components, without -compiling the sources found in the be directory and without building -an executable, issue - - % make libs - -This will build the libraries in the ast, fe, util, driver and narrow -directories. To build only the be, issue - - % make be - -To build all libraries without creating an executable, issue - - % make all_libs - -To remove all files created by the build process, issue - - % make clean - -This will not remove any files created by Yacc and Lex, because you -may be using the ones provided in the distribution (see below). - -d. Yacc and Lex - -Some installations may not have a C++ aware Yacc and Lex -processor. For these installations, we have included the output of -yacc and lex in the release. If you need to use these files to build -the release because you don't have access to a C++ capable Yacc or -Lex, go to the "fe" directory, issue the command: - - % touch lex.yy.cc y.tab.cc y.tab.hh - -This will ensure that the processed files appear to be newer than the -source files they were produced from and will cause "make" to skip -their production. - -NOTE: The files provided in the distribution have been produced on -Solaris 2.3 and may contain OS-specific #include directives. If you -intend to use these files, you may have to edit them to make them work -in your environment. The provided files are known to compile cleanly -without modification with both SunPro Sparcworks compilers and GNU C++ -on both SunOS 4.1 and Solaris 2.3. We have not tested the grammar and -lexer input files with bison or flex. - -IMPLEMENTING A BACK END - -To implement your own back end, you can start with the provided -sources in the be directory and modify them. The Makefile understands -the 'make all' target and will generate libbe.a in the demo_be -directory. As set up, the variable CPP_FLAGS allows you to place -include files either in the current directory or in the include -directory. Alternatively, you can place your include files in a new -directory and modify CPP_FLAGS to cause the C++ preprocessor to search -this new directory for referenced include files, by adding a new -I -directive. - -Additional detail on the structure and function of back ends, and on -the protocol which a back end must implement, are found in the -document entitled WRITING_A_BE. |
