The <code>DANCE_ROOT</code> environment + variable should also be set to <code>$CIAO_ROOT/DAnCE</code>, or + wherever you have installed the DAnCE sources. Please refer + to the <A href="../../ACE-INSTALL.html">ACE installation notes</A> and <A href="../TAO-INSTALL.html"> + TAO installation notes</A> for instructions on setting <code>$ACE_ROOT</code> + and <code>$TAO_ROOT</code>, respectively. They are needed since CIAO sits on + top of ACE+TAO. Compiling ACE+TAO successfully is the <strong>first</strong> requirement + for compiling CIAO. + </p> + <p>CIAO is divided into several parts, so different installation/building rules + apply to different parts of CIAO.<br> + <br> + </p> + <ol> + <li> + CIAO core/examples: This part of CIAO include following directories: <code>$CIAO_ROOT/ccm</code>, <code>$CIAO_ROOT/ciao</code>, + <code>$CIAO_ROOT/examples</code>. + <li> + CIAO Deployment and Configuration Framework: This part of CIAO includes all the + directories in <code>$CIAO_ROOT/DAnCE</code>. DAnCE is an implementation of the + new <a href="http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ptc/2003-07-02">Deployment and + Configuration</a> specification. We refer, henceforth, to all pieces as CIAO + in general. This piece will be referred specifically by their name + as DAnCE though they are part of CIAO. + </li> + </ol> + <hr> + <h3>Supported Platforms for CIAO</h3> + <p>CIAO should be usable on all platforms that TAO runs on. Please see <A href="../TAO-INSTALL.html"> + TAO's installation</A> pages for details + </p> + <p>If you have <A href="../../docs/ACE-porting.html">porting questions</A> or + have a problem compiling CIAO with TAO and ACE on the platforms shown above + please send email to either <A href="news:comp.soft-sys.ace">ACE Newsgroup</A> or + the <A href="mailto:ciao-users@cs.wustl.edu">CIAO mailing list</A> and we'll + try to help you fix the problems. You can also submit bug reports and + enhancement requests in our <A href="../../docs/usage-bugzilla.html">bug tracking + system</A>. + </p> + <p>CIAO can be obtained <a href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/Download.html">electronically</a> + via the WWW and ftp. <a href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/CIAO">CIAO</a> is + bundled with the ACE and TAO release. 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>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 + versions supported by the DOC group is version 2.6 or later or 3.0 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 $XERCESCROOT/lib + is in the appropriate environment variable that your platform uses to search + for dynamically linked libraries. + </p> + <hr> + <h3>Install CIAO core/tools/examples</h3> + <p>Most of the GNUmakefiles/project files/solution files required to build CIAO + are available in the release. If you don't like the configurations used, please + feel free to regenerate them using MPC. Please see <A href="../../MPC/README">this</A> + for more details. + </p> + <p>To build CIAO core/tools/examples: + </p> + <ol> + <li> + Make sure ACE and TAO are built. + <li> + Make sure you have the Xerces-C libraries installed/built + <li> + Enable Xerces-C in default.features by setting <code>xerces3=1</code> or + <code>xerces2=1</code>, depending on your version Xerces-C libraries. + <li> + Make sure all ACE/TAO/etc. generated libs are in <code>$ACE_ROOT/lib</code>.
