<P>Any UNIX/POSIX/Win32 variation is a potential target platform for
TAO. If you have <A
HREF="../docs/ACE-porting.html">porting
questions</A> or have a problem compiling the TAO along with ACE
wrappers on the platforms shown above please send email to either the
<A HREF="news:comp.soft-sys.ace">Newsgroup</A> or to the <A
HREF="mailto:tao-users@cs.wustl.edu">TAO 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>
TAO can be obtained <A
HREF="http://deuce.doc.wustl.edu/Download.html">electronically</A>
via the WWW and ftp. <A
HREF="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/TAO">TAO</A> is bundled
with the <A
HREF="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/ACE"> ACE </A> release. You'll
always need the most recent version of ACE because TAO tracks and
influences changes to ACE. Always use the ACE+TAO release
bundle as a single piece instead of trying to mix and match things up.<P>

<LI>Build and install the TAO release under <CODE>$TAO_ROOT</CODE>.
<P> TAO also uses GNUmakefiles and project files generated
from MPC to compile. The beta or the release distribution will
come with stock GNUmakefiles, project files (for VC7.1 and VC
8) and Borland makefiles which were all generated by
MPC. </P>
<P>The easiest and recommended way to compile the
<B>complete</B> TAO distribution by simply simply executing
<code><a href="#makenotes">make</a></code>
in the <CODE>$TAO_ROOT</CODE> directory.
</P>
<P>A smaller subset, that may be of interest to test basic TAO
functionality, is:
<CODE>$TAO_ROOT/tao</CODE>,
<CODE>$TAO_ROOT/TAO_IDL</CODE>,
<CODE>$TAO_ROOT/tests/Param_Test</CODE>.
Then you can execute the <CODE>run_test.pl</CODE> script in
<CODE>$TAO_ROOT/tests/Param_Test</CODE> and/or
follow the instructions contained in the <CODE>README</CODE>
file in the same directory.
</P>
<P>If you wish to compile the ORB services distributed with TAO,
including the <CODE>Naming_Service</CODE> you
must include <CODE>$TAO_ROOT/orbsvcs</CODE> to the list
above. Please see the
<A HREF="docs/configurations.html#orbsvcs">TAO configuration documentation</a>
for a discussion on how to create a subset configuration of specific
TAO ORB servcies.
</P>
<P> If you wish to compile all the core tao and orbsvcs,
including its dependencies in ACE and ACEXML, you can do the
following (1) Unpack the distribution from DOC group's
website. (2) Set the environment variables $ACE_ROOT and
$TAO_ROOT. (3) Create config.h and platform_macros.GNU at
the right places (4) Delete all the GNUmakefiles (or sln and
vproj file as the case may be) from the TAO distrbution using
the 'find' command. (5) Change directory to $TAO_ROOT. (6)
Run MPC like this, $ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl TAO_ACE.mwc. (7) Run
'make'. This will create all the required libraries for TAO
and TAO orbsvcs. In step 6, use -type vc71 if you want to
generate VC71 project and workspace files for Win32. Please
see <A href="../MPC/USAGE"> MPC USAGE </A> document for
details on how to generate build files for other compilers
and tools.</P>
<LI>To test that the TAO release is properly configured,
follow instructions on executing the various examples under
<CODE>$TAO_ROOT/tests</CODE>.<P>

<h3><strong><a name="sun_g++_notes">Note About g++ On
Solaris for x86 Target</a></strong></h3>
If you install g++/gcc from <a href="www.blastwave.org"> blastwave
</a> then this note is applicable for you. If you are in the habit of
building g++/gcc from sources directly, please feel free to skip this
section. <p>
The distribution from <a href="www.blastwave.org"> blastwave</a> has,
as we believe, a bug in it. This bug manifests as compilation errors
when you try to build the orbsvcs when debugging is enabled. Please
remember that debugging is enabled in your platform_macros.GNU if you
haven't specifically disabled it. The easiest way to address this
issue is to set debug=0 in platform_macros.GNu file or build a g++
compiler for your target platform. A bug has been registered with
blastwave. If you have more questions please feel to contact <a
mailto="bala at dre.vanderbilt.edu"> Bala Natarajan </a>.
<h2><strong><a name="makenotes">A Note On Make</a></strong></h2>
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 and binary
form. Please see <a href="../ACE-INSTALL.html"> ACE-INSTALL.html </a>
for details from where they can be obtained.<P>
<h2><strong><a name="makenotes">Explicit templates</a></strong></h2>
It is not possible to use TAO with explicit templates. Your compiler
must support implicit templates. <P>
<HR><P>
<h3>For Cross-Compiled Targets, such as VxWorks and LynxOS</h3>
If you are building TAO for a VxWorks target, please see the detailed
instructions for building and installing ACE and TAO in <a
href="../ACE-INSTALL.html#vxworks">$ACE_ROOT/ACE-INSTALL.html</a>.<p>
<P>Cross-compiling TAO is not much different than building it for
self-host. The one major difference is that TAO's IDL compiler
must be built and run on the host; it's not necessary to run it
on the target.
There are several ways to do this, below we document the two
most common approaches:
</P>
<H4>Modifying the default location for the IDL compiler</H4>
<P>By default TAO assumes that the IDL compiler is located in:
<CODE>$TAO_ROOT/bin/tao_idl</CODE> and that the GPERF tool
is located in <CODE>$ACE_ROOT/bin/gperf</CODE>, this is fine for
hosted builds, but not for cross-compilation.
Unfortunately there is no good default for cross-compilation
builds because different sites choose a different location for
their tools.
</P>
<P>You can override the default values by adding several new lines in your
platform_macros.GNU file assuming $(HOST_ROOT) is set to the location
of your host build where you have build gperf and tao_idl, as follows:
<PRE>
$ echo 'TAO_IDL := $(HOST_ROOT)/bin/tao_idl' \
$ echo 'TAO_IDLFLAGS += -g $(HOST_ROOT)/bin/gperf' \
$ echo 'TAO_IDL_DEP := $(HOST_ROOT)/bin/tao_idl$(EXEEXT)' \
>> platform_macros.GNU
</PRE>
<P>Obviously you must first build the tools for the host platform,
typically you would do this as follows:
<PRE>
# (1) Create a clone directory for the host:
$ cd ACE_wrappers
$ mkdir -p build/HOST
$ ./bin/create_ace_build build/HOST
# (2) Configure the host build:
$ echo '#include "ace/config-HOST.h"' > build/HOST/ace/config.h
$ echo 'include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_HOST.GNU' \
> build/HOST/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU
# Often host builds are static:
$ echo 'static_libs_only=1' \
>> build/HOST/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU
# (3) Build the host tools
$ cd build/HOST
$ export ACE_ROOT=$PWD
$ make -C ace
$ make -C apps/gperf
$ make -C TAO/TAO_IDL
</PRE>
<P>Then configuring the location of the tools for the target
could be done as shown here:
<PRE>
# (4) Create a clone directory for the target:
$ cd ACE_wrappers
$ mkdir -p build/TARGET
$ ./bin/create_ace_build build/TARGET
# (5) Configure the target build:
$ echo '#include "ace/config-TARGET.h"' > build/HOST/ace/config.h
$ echo 'include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_TARGET.GNU' \
> build/TARGET/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU
# (6) Configure the TARGET build to use the HOST IDL compiler and
# gperf tools, as described above.
</PRE>
<H4>Alternative configuration, using links</H4>
<P>Some developers prefer to set up the host tools using symbolic
links (Unix) or copy of <code>tao_idl</code> (NT).
By way of example, here is how you could setup a
croos-compilation environment for Unix,
the host is <CODE>SunOS5/g++</CODE>,
the target is <CODE>VxWorks</CODE>.
It assumes that the ACE+TAO distribution has been
unpacked, with TAO below ACE_wrappers. It uses the
ACE_wrappers/bin/create_ace_build script to create a shadow
build
tree:
<ol>
<li><code>cd ACE_wrappers</code>
<li><code>bin/create_ace_build SunOS5_g++</code>
<li><code>bin/create_ace_build vxworks</code>
<li><code>cd build/vxworks/bin</code>
<li><code>/bin/rm -r tao_idl</code>
<li><code>ln -s ../../SunOS5_g++/bin/tao_idl</code>
</ol>
<P>To build on the host:
<ol>
<li><code>cd build/SunOS5_g++</code>
<li><code>export ACE_ROOT=`pwd`;
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/ace:`pwd`/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>
<li><code>(cd ace; make && cd ../tests; make && cd ../TAO; make) >
make.log</code>
<li><code>cd ../vxworks</code>
<li><code>export ACE_ROOT=`pwd`</code>
<li><code>(cd ace; make && cd ../tests; make && cd ../TAO; make) >
make.log</code>
</ol>
<P>For Win32 hosts, please see the detailed instructions for building
and installing ACE and TAO in
<a href="../ACE-INSTALL.html#vxworks">../ACE-INSTALL.html</a>,
and
<a href="../ACE-INSTALL.html#VxWorks/NT">Building ACE on
Tornado/NT hosts for VxWorks targets</a>
</P>
<P>Please note that dynamic loading of libraries is not supported
by TAO for any cross-compiled target. Therefore, dynamic
service configuration of the TAO ORB is not supported.
</p>
<P>If using perfect hashing, TAO_IDL needs gperf to be built on
the host. That's the default on many platforms. First, build
<code>gperf</code> in the
<code>ACE_wrappers/apps/gperf/src/</code> directory.
</P>
<H4>Which one is right for me?</H4>
<P>Using links to cross-compile TAO may appear simpler at first
glance. However, storing the location in the
<CODE>platform_macros.GNU</CODE> is more amenable for
sites where many developers share the same configuration files,
or where ACE+TAO are compiled once and used by a medium or large
size group.
</P>
<HR><P>
<H3>On Windows NT and Windows 2000 and Windows XP</H3>
<P><CODE>TAO_IDL</CODE> does not contain its own preprocessor, so it
needs to use an external preprocessor. Depending on which compiler was
used to build <CODE>TAO_IDL</CODE>, the default preprocessor will change.
For example, if compiled with MSVC, <CODE>TAO_IDL</CODE> will look for
CL.EXE in the path. There are cases where this will not work, such as in cross-compiling
or if the preprocessor is not in the path. These situations require that
environment variables are set on the machine to override the
built-in settings. More information about these environment variables can
be found in the <a href="docs/compiler.html#idl_env">TAO_IDL documentation.</a></P>
<P>It is also advisable to set either the <CODE>ACE_ROOT</CODE> environment
variable as outlined in the
<a href="../ACE-INSTALL.html">ACE
installation notes</A> or the <code>TAO_ROOT</code> environment variable.
</P>
Remember to <a href="../ACE-INSTALL.html">set
up ACE</A> before building TAO.
<H4>Visual C++ 7.1 and newer</H4>
<P>It works best if TAO is placed in ACE_wrappers so TAO ends up in
<CODE>ACE_wrappers\TAO</CODE> because the Visual C++ 7.1 Project files
are setup up to work in this configuration. If you move it, then make
sure you regenerate the project files to look for the include and
library files in the correct place. The default place for placing the
library files are $ACE_ROOT/lib. You can change this setting in <a
href="../bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/acedefaults.mpb"> this base
project </a> file.</P>
<OL>
<LI>Make sure ACE is built (For Visual C++ 7.1, use ACE.sln). <P>
<LI>First make sure <CODE>ACE_wrappers\bin</CODE> is listed in the Executable
Directories in Tools|Options. This is needed if using the TAO_IDL
compiler under MSVC. If you intend to also use the release
version of the libraries in the same workspace you have to be
careful, since the executable name for TAO_IDL is same in debug
and release builds. You can use only or the oethr in the same
workspace. This shouldn't be an issue since the projects for
tests and examples are set up to transparently use one or the
other.
<P>
<LI>Load the workspace <CODE>$TAO_ROOT\TAO.dsw</CODE> and build the TAO
library. This workspace has almost all the projects under TAO
which can be built. Therefore please pick and choose projects
that you want to build.<P>
<LI>To build the Param_Test, load the workspace
<CODE>tests\tests.dsw</CODE>
and build both client and server. <P>
</OL>
<H4>Visual C++ 7.1</H4>
The DOC group doesn't support TAO on VC++ 7.0 since the libraries that
were shipped with VC++ 7.0 did not work well. The DOC group supports
only VC++ 7.1, which is used by their sponsors. The above mentioned
points are also relevant to users who are trying to use TAO with VC++
7.1. Additionally, all required options are set for the generated .sln
files. If something is missing then it is probably a bug with
MPC. Please report such bugs to the tao-users newsgroups.
<H4>Borland C++ Builder</H4> <P>
To build TAO using C++Builder please follow the
<A HREF="../ACE-INSTALL.html#borland">ACE installation notes</A>, with the
difference being that you first build ACE and then you
give the following command in the $ACE_ROOT\TAO directory:<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
make -f Makefile.bor
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE><P>
For more detailed information on building and using TAO with Borland's
C++ Builder environment, please see the <A
HREF="http://www.tenermerx.com/programming/corba/tao_bcb/index.html">online</A> help
provided by <A HREF="mailto:chris@kohlhoff.com">Christopher
Kohlhoff</A>. <P>
<H4>Upgrading From Older Releases</H4>
<P>When a newer version of ACE/TAO is installed, rebuild all should be
used to make sure everything is built correctly.</P>
<H4>Changing Include Paths</H4>
<P>If you prefer <code>#include <corba.h></code> over <code> #include
<tao/corba.h></code> then you will need to change your Project Settings
to also contain the <code>TAO/tao</code> directory. You'll find this in the
C/C++ settings under Input.</P>
<H4>Creating Static Libraries (*.lib)</H4>
<P> Instructions for dynamic libraries apply to static libraries as
well. Users will have to use _Static.dsw's and _Static.sln files for
creating static libraries and linking with them.
<H4>MinGW and Cygwin</H4> <P>
<P>First, follow the build instructions in the
<A HREF="../ACE-INSTALL.html#mingw">ACE installation notes.</A>
When building with MinGW and Cygwin you are using the GNU make under Windows.
When you use make from the commandline, make sure that <code>TAO_ROOT</code> is
set to a full path or to <code>%ACE_ROOT%/TAO</code>, which will also result
in setting a full path. Setting it with the Unix style to <code>$ACE_ROOT/TAO</code>
will not work, setting it using the make style to <code>$(ACE_ROOT)/TAO</code> looks
to work but will cause problems when building the TAO services, so don't do that.
The correct way is:
<BLOCKQUOTE><code>set TAO_ROOT=%ACE_ROOT%/TAO</code></BLOCKQUOTE>
<HR>
<H3>Perl Scripts</H3>
<P>Several of TAO's tests and examples contain perl scripts that automate the
execution of these tests. The scripts are found as "run_test.pl" in the
directory of the test.</p>
<P> The versions of perl that we use are 5.005_02 on NT and 5.003 on Solaris.
The scripts may work on earlier versions of perl, but we cannot say for sure
that they do.</P>
<HR>
<H3>Native Exceptions</H3>
<P>TAO will use native exceptions if ACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS is defined when it is
compiled. This can be accomplished in two ways: by defining ACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS
in the config.h or config-*.h files (such as on Windows) or by using
<CODE>make exceptions=1</CODE> when you compile TAO.</P>
<P>Take note though, that this only enables support in ACE/TAO, the correct
compiler flags must also be given to the compiler to enable them.</P>
<HR>
<P>
<H3>minimumTAO</H3>
<P>By default, all components in TAO will be compiled. If you only
want support for <A HREF="docs/minimumTAO.html">minimumTAO</A>, define
TAO_HAS_MINIMUM_CORBA. This can be accomplished in two ways: by
defining TAO_HAS_MINIMUM_CORBA in the config.h or orbconf.h files or
by using <CODE>make minimum_corba=1</CODE> when you compile TAO.</P>
<strong><blink><font color="#ff0000">WARNING:</font></blink></strong>
Make sure that if you build liborbsvcs with minimum_corba=1 you also
build libTAO with minimum_corba=1!<P>

<H4><A NAME="anoncvs">Building and Installing TAO from anonymous
CVS</H4>
If users are building from our <a
href="http://cvs.doc.wustl.edu/anoncvs.html"> anon cvs </a> the
GNUmakefiles, and project files for building on various platforms will
not be available. Users from anon cvs are expected to generate them
using <a href="../MPC/README">MPC</a> before building ACE, TAO or
CIAO. We point out some suggestions below to get bootstrapped
quickly.
<UL>
<LI> Please see <a href="#MPC"> instructions </a> above to download
MPC from anon cvs repository <p>
<LI>Please make sure that you have <a href="http://www.perl.org">
perl</a> installed, preferably perl
5.8 or higher. Users on Win32 based platforms are recommended to use
<a href="http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/"> Active
State Perl </a>. We use active state perl without problems. We have
ran into problems trying to use the cygwin version of perl on Win32
based platforms. <p>
<LI>If you just want to build TAO and associated tests, examples,
and associated utility libraries, we recommend the following
alternatives:
<UL>
<LI> Build ACE and TAO seperately. ACE needs to be built first and
instructins for building ACE are available at <a
href="../ACE-INSTALL.html#MPC">ACE-INSTALL</a>. GNUmakefiles and
project files for TAO can be generated by using the following
commands:<p>
<CODE> $ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl TAO.mwc </CODE> <p>
from <CODE> $TAO_ROOT </CODE> to generate GNUmakefiles. Use <CODE>
-type vc71 </CODE> or <CODE>-type vc8</CODE> to generate VC71 and
VC8 project and solution files.<p>
<LI> Build ACE+TAO together in one shot. To do that please issue
the following commands: <p>
<CODE> $ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl TAO_ACE.mwc </CODE> <p>
from <CODE>$TAO_ROOT</CODE>. This will generate GNUmakefiles for
ACE, gperf, and core ACE+TAO libraries. Issuing a
<CODE>'make'</CODE> from <CODE>$TAO_ROOT </CODE> will build all of
the above in one shot. You can use <CODE> -type vc71 </CODE> to
generate VC71 project and workspace files. <CODE>TAO_ACE.sln</CODE>
can be used by users to build ACE+TAO from a single workspace
file. Users can use <CODE> -type vc8 </CODE> to generate the VC8
solutions files. <p>
</UL>
<LI>If you want to build CIAO and its associated libraries
please see <a href="CIAO/CIAO-INSTALL.html"> CIAO-INSTALL <a> for
details.
