BUILDING CIAO
========================
* Supported platform:
We have tried CIAO examples on Win32 using MSVC 6.0 and above and on
Linux.
* Documentation:
Various documents are available under $(CIAO_ROOT)/docs/
Commments and suggestions for improving these documents are
extremely welcome.
* Preparation - Compiling ACE and TAO:
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
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 VC6 dsp files, do:
> cd $CIAO_ROOT/ciao/
> $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/mwc.pl -type vc6
Likewise, to regenerate VC7.1.NET project files, do:
> cd $CIAO_ROOT/ciao
> $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/mwc.pl -type vc71
* Now you can play with the examples:
- $CIAO_ROOT/examples/handcrafted/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/handcrafted/Display
$ $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/mwc.pl
$ make
To regenerate VC6 dsp files, do:
> cd $CIAO_ROOT/examples/handcrafted/Display
> $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/mwc.pl -type vc6
Likewise, to regenerate VC7.NET project files, do:
> cd $CIAO_ROOT/examples/handcrafted/Display
> $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/mwc.pl -type vc7
