Introduction

This document explains how to configure and build ACE+TAO. From the ACE+TAO web site:

  • ACE† is an open-source framework that provides many components and patterns† for developing high-performance, distributed real-time and embedded systems. ACE provides powerful, yet efficient abstractions for sockets, demultiplexing loops, threads, synchronization primitives.
  • TAO† (The ACE ORB) is an open-source implementation of a CORBA† Object Request Broker (ORB) built using components and patterns in the ACE framework.
    Several companies provide commercial support for ACE+TAO, see http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/commercial-support.html† for information. Remedy IT, http://www.theaceorb.nl† , provides support for building ACE+TAO with the Intel® C++ Compiler.
  • Version Information
    The version of ACE+TAO used in this document is ACE version 5.5.8.
  • Obtaining the Source Code
    The ACE+TAO source code was downloaded from http://software.intel.com/file/7247† .
  • Obtaining the latest version of Intel® C++ Compiler
    See http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-compilers/ for details.
  • Prerequisites
    None.
  • Configuration and Set-up Information

     

    $ tar zxvf ACE+TAO-src.tar.gz 

    $ cd ACE_wrappers/

    $ export ACE_ROOT=`pwd`

    # create configuration file

    $ echo 'zlib=1

    inline=0

    boost=0

    CFLAGS+=-Wp64

    include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_linux_icc.GNU' >
     $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU

    # create configuration file

    $ echo '#include "ace/config-linux.h"' > $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h

    $ cd $ACE_ROOT

    $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ACE_ROOT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    $ gmake >& gmake.log

     

  • TAO Configuration and Set-up Information

     

    $ export TAO_ROOT=$ACE_ROOT/TAO

    $ cd $TAO_ROOT 

    $ gmake >& gmake.log 

    $

     

  • Source Code Changes
    None required.
  • Building and Running Applications
    One can test the TAO build is correctly configured by following the instructions on how to run the various examples in $TAO_ROOT/tests.
  • Verifying Correctness
    Run the various examples in $TAO_ROOT/tests and compare with the ACE+TAO scorecard, which lists the status of the ACE+TAO build. The ACE+TAO scorecard for the Intel ® C++ Compiler builds are performed by Remedy IT† can be found at http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~remedynl/† .
