OpenPegasus is open source and is covered under the MIT open-source

license.

OpenPegasus is being developed and maintained under the auspices of The Open

Group.  OpenPegasus is maintained under the license defined in pegasus/doc/license.txt.

This licensing is intended to support as

wide a

distribution as possible with minimal demands on the users.

More information on this project, access to the CVS, and

documentation on

Pegasus are available from the OpenGroup WEB site -     <a target="blank" href="http://www.openpegasus.org/">http://www.openpegasus.org</a>

<h4><a name="peg_sup_plat">Pegasus Supported Platforms</a></h4>

Pegasus is regularly tested against a variety of platforms by the

development group.  The results of the nightly tests can be found

here: <a href="http://cvs.opengroup.org/cgi-bin/pegasus-build-status.cgi">Nightly

test status</a> .  The Release notes provides additional details

regarding the platforms. 

PEP 249 is the Release Notes PEP for 2.5.1.

<h4><a name="cmnd">Commands</a></h4>

The manpages for each of the commands can be found in the Pegasus source

tree in the pegasus/rpm/manLinux/ directory.

To see simple help for a command, invoke it with the "--help" option.

Here is a list of useful

commands:

Some of

the basic commands:

NOTE: Refer to the admin guide in pegasus/doc/Admin_Guide_Release.pdf

for

more information about administering the Pegasus CIMServer.

<ul>

<li>cimserver daemon=true  (Start the server

cimserver)</li>

<li>cimserver -s  (Shuts down the cimserver)</li>

<li>cimserver traceLevel=4 traceComponents=ALL  (Starts server

with

config flags)</li>

<li>cimprovider -l -s  (Lists providers and their status)</li>

<li>cimprovider -e -m OperatingSystemModule  (Enables the

OperatingSystem provider)</li>

<li>cimuser -a -u guest -w <ThePassword> (Adds the user guest with specified password)

</li>

<li>cimuser -l  (Lists the users )

</li>

</ul>

Note:  there are some differences between windows and other

platforms in

starting the server as a daemon/service. Whereas most supported

platforms use

the configuration option daemon to start the server as a service, on

windows it

must be specifically installed as a service (ex. cimserver -install)

and then

started as a service (cimserver -start). The cimserver --help option

explains the

exact format of the start and stop options.<h4><a name="docs">Pegasus Documentation</a></h4>

Much of Pegasus

is documented in the PEGASUS PEPs which are the basis for approval of

Pegasus functionality, changes, plans, etc.  These documents are

openly available on the PEGASUS web site. The current documentation is

maintained both as a manual created

under the tool DOC++ in the runtime subdirectory manual/html (see

doc/devManual to create), as an api document also creatable from the

source tree (see doc/apidoc) and as other miscellaneous documentation

in the doc directory. Also there is a set of release notes. Normally

the release notes for the current release are available in the root

source directory of CVS.

Note that the Pegasus WEB site at The Open Group will be the source

of most

documentation in the future and today is the source of most discussion

and

design documentation.

<h4><a name="peg_dep">Verify Dependencies</a></h4>

We have worked to minimize the dependence of Pegasus on other software

packages and tools. Currently Pegasus has the following dependencies:

1. GNUMAKE - To simplify the building of Pegasus across

multiple platforms we

have standardized on a set of build tools including: GNUMAKE. We are

using GNUMAKE 3.79.1 successfully both in Windows and Linux

environments.

GNUMAKE is available from :

<a href="#inst_peg_html">Installing the Pegasus HTML Test Client</a>

<a href="#test_icu">Testing with ICU enabled</a>

2. FLEX and BISON - These tools were used to develop the

MOF

compiler and WQL

parser.  These tools are required only for

development of the parsers, not for building Pegasus.

3. DOC++ - The Pegasus documentation is taken from a

combination of text files

and the Pegasus header files themselves. This documentation is

formatted with DOC++ and GAWK.   These tools are required to build the

interface documentation set.

4. ICU Internationalization libraries - These libraries are

used as the basis for message catalogs for message

internationalization. See the ICU website

(http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/) for more information on these

libraries

5. OpenSSL - If it

is intended to use SSL on the

communication protocol, the OpenSSL libraries are required.

NOTE: A set of the required

tools for windows platforms is available on the openpegasus web

site.  <a href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/Pegasus24/www.openpegasus.org">www.openpegasus.org</a>

<h4><a name="set_envt_var">Set the Environment

Variables</a></h4>

Before installing or running OpenPegasus, environment variables may

have to be defined or updated.

PEP 237 contains the list of environment variables and setup necessary

to use OpenPegasus.

At a minimum, the following need to be set:

PEGASUS_ROOT=<location of your pegasus source tree>

PEGASUS_HOME=<location for the built executables, repository, etc>

PEGASUS_PLATFORM=<your platform>

<h4><a name="bld_peg_win">Building OpenPegasus on Windows 2k or Windows XP with Microsoft

Visual

There are a number of separate documents representing the status and each release of

C++ </a></h4>

Use of Windows 2000 SP3 or later is recommended.  OpenPegasus is

Pegasus

regularly tested on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP using the

Microsoft compilers.

Today we build OpenPegasus on Windows using a set of make files

contained

in the source distribution, the Microsoft compilers (DevStudio 5.x is

not supported, Visual Studio 6.0, SP5 is supported) and the GNUMAKE

make utility.  Note that you MUST have the OpenPegasus <a href="#mu_utility">mu.exe </a>utility compiled and available

before trying to compile OpenPegasus on the normal windows platform.

The

following is the basic setup steps for the environment.

Setup the environment variables and path for the Micrososft Visual C

compiler.

Typically this can be done by running the VCVARS32.BAT file supplied

with Microsoft Visual C++. (contained in the same directory as cl.exe).

For Windows, try the following for an example environment:

<pre>REM call the standard Microsoft .bat for VC 6 setup. call 'C:/Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\Vcvars32.bat' REM Set debug to something if you want compile in debug mode set PEGASUS_DEBUG=true REM set PEGASUS_ROOT to top of source tree set PEGASUS_ROOT=C:/cimom/pegasus (Note: The '/' characters are intentional and required by the OpenPegasus build system) REM set PEGASUS_HOME to where you want repository and executables set PEGASUS_HOME=%PEGASUS_ROOT% REM setup the path to the runtime files. set path=%path%;%PEGASUS_HOME%\bin </pre>

</blockquote>

<h6>

<a name="mu_utility">The MU Utility </a></h6>

In order to provide a consistent build structure across multiple

platforms, we

developed a small utility to provide a consistent set of small

utilities

across these platforms. The MU utility is a simple utility that

contains

many

commands. For example:

C:\> mu rm myfile.cpp yourfile.cpp

You may type "mu" to get a list of valid commands. Here are some

of them:

rm, rmdirhier, mkdirhier, echo, touch, pwd, copy, move, compare depend

The MU utility supports globing (expansion of wildcards) so

you can do things like this:

C:\> mu rm *.obj *.exe

MU is required to build under the Windows environment. MU is

available as part

of the distribution of OpenPegasus.

NOTE: The binary for MU.EXE is not distributed in the OpenPegasus bin

directory.

You must build it separately. MU source code is part of the

distribution

in the directory src/utils/MU with its own make file. You must compile

before you initiate the OpenPegasus make.

A copy of the binary is made available as a zip file on the OpenPegasus

WEB site.

<h1><a name="pop_peg_rep">Populate the Pegasus Repository</a> </h1>

Before using Pegasus you must populate the repository. Typically, this

is done during the build process when you run the makefile. However,

you

can also do it manually after the Pegasus has been built.

<ol>

<li>Register the MOF (Managed Object Format) file describing the

skeleton of the object. </li>

<li>Register a second MOF which only points out which lib*.so file to

be loaded when a specific object is activated. </li>

</ol>

The providers included with Pegasus are automatically entered into the

repository

by running the following command: <tt>make repository</tt>

The 'make repository' in the  pegasus directory does three things:

<ul>

<li> Removes the existing repository if one

exists.</li>

<li>What's new for this release - See the PEPs (Pegasus Enhancement Procedures) release

<li>Generates the CIM Schema v2.9 in the repository (skeleton of CIM

objects).  </li>

<li>Loads

notes on the Pegasus web site and duplicated in the source top level directory </li>

schema for CIM Server functions (shutdown, add users, etc) and

CIM indications

(SNMP, Events, Alert, Threshold, etc)

<li>What's Broken - BUGS - See the ReleaseNotes for this release in the CVS and the web site

internal to the Pegasus. </li>

<li>Registers included CIM Providers (libOSProvider.so,

libDNSProvider.so, � ) in Pegasus (which are located in

as a Pegasus PEP.</li>

src/Providers)  </li>

</ul>

<h1>

<a name="reg_prov">Registering

Providers in the Pegasus Environment</a></h1>

Pegasus registers providers with a set of provider registration

The release notes are available on the WEB site as Pegasus PEP documents and in the CVS

classes, not using the provider qualifier as is done in most DMTF CIM

CIMOM implementations today. This set of classes is close to but not

exactly the same as the experimental DMTF definition (See the DMTF

for each release.

Interop

schema, experimental versions starting with 2.6). This will be

harmonized in the future when the DMTF scheme is moved to final

status.

Registration

is performed by creating instances of the

registration classes that represent the provider module, providers,

classes, etc. to be registered.  The easiest way to create a new

registration today is to copy from one of the existing registration

<tbody>

MOFs.  See the providers/sample/load directory for examples of

several registration instance implementations that do work with

<h2><a name="avail_of_peg">Availability of Pegasus</a></h2>

Pegasus is distributed as open source under the MIT open-source license. The

distribution is available via CVS and snapshot images in tar and zip file formats on the

web site. The source code from CVS can be found at the following Open Group CVS server;

cvs.opengroup.org:/cvs/MSB

using the password authenticating server option (pserve).

Anonymous access for read is with the name and password "anon" as follows:

%export

CVSROOT=:pserver:anon@cvs.opengroup.org:/cvs/MSB

%cvs login

</blockquote>

When requested, enter the password "anon". The source tree is in the

directory pegasus. To check out the complete Pegasus source tree just type:

cvs co pegasus

A Pegasus directory will be created under the current directory and populated with the

complete source tree and documentation. To get the latest updates after a checkout just

type this from Pegasus root:

cvs update -d

Active contributors to Pegasus have write access to the CVS repository. If you are

interested in contributing back to the Pegasus project, (i.e. write (checkin) access to

CVS) please request access from either Martin Kirk (<a

href="mailto:(k.m.kirk@opengroup.org">m.kirk@opengroup.org</a>) or Karl Schopmeyer <a

href="mailto:(k.schopmeyer@opengroup.org">k.schopmeyer@opengroup.org</a>.

<h2><a name="peg_maj_comp">Pegasus Major Components</a></h2>

The major components of Pegasus are:

<ul>

<li>Pegasus Server - WBEM/CIM Server with interfaces for providers and clients </li>

<li>Pegasus Repositories - Today Pegasus provides a defined class repository

interface and a simple file based class repository. It also includes an instance

repository. Note that these repository were created for functionality, not efficieny. It

is expected that they will be replaced with other implementations of the respository

function as the need arises. </li>

<li>Pegasus Client Library - Tools for building Pegasus clients based on the Pegasus

C++ interfaces and using the WBEM HTTP/XML protocols or directly interfacing with Pegasus.

</li>

<li>Pegasus Test Clients - Simple test clients being developed as part of the Pegasus

development process. These can be seen in the src/Clients directory and its subdirectories

</li>

<li>Pegasus HTML Test Client - To aid in testing we created a test client for Pegasus

that uses a WEB server (ex. Apache) with a set of CGI modules and HTML to allow the entry

of Pegasus operations from a WEB browser as forms and the receipt of the response as WEB

pages. This has proven useful as a test tool and can be used for a wide variety of

demonstrations. </li>

<li>Pegasus Provider Library - Tools for building Pegasus providers using the Pegasus

C++ interfaces. </li>

<li>Pegasus Providers - Providers to illustrate the use of Pegasus services including

providers for test and demonstration. </li>

<li>Pegasus Control Providers - Common services for use by other Pegasus components

to extend Pegasus capabilites. </li>

<li>Pegasus MOF Compiler - There  standalone compiler (cimmofl) for MOF files

that can be used to install MOF into the Pegasus schema repository and also to check

syntax. There is also a compiler that operates as a Pegasus client(cimmof) There is also a

tool to extract the MOF from the repository. </li>

</ul>

<h2><a name="peg_sup_plat">Pegasus Supported Platforms</a></h2>

Pegasus is regularly tested against a variety of platforms by the development

group.  The set of platforms and exact set of compilers for any given release is

documented in the Release notes for that release (see the CVS source tree root directory

or the Pegasus PEP defining the ReleaseNotes for any particular release).

Pegasus is supported on a variety of platforms.  The list of platforms can be

found in the release notes associated with this release.

<h2><a name="peg_dep">Pegasus Dependencies</a></h2>

We have worked to minimize the dependence of Pegasus on other software packages and

tools. Currently Pegasus has the following dependencies:

1. GNUMAKE - To simplify the building of Pegasus across multiple platforms we

have standardized on a set of build tools including: GNUMAKE. We are using GNUMAKE 3.79.1

GNUMAKE is available from :

NOTE: A set of the required tools for windows

platforms is available on the openpegasus web site.  <a href="www.openpegasus.org">www.openpegasus.org</a>

2. MU.EXE - To minimize the difference between Linux and Windows for GNUMAKE, we

have created a utility called MU.exe. This utility is required for Pegasus make with ONLY

Windows environment. It is provided as an alternative to requiring a number of UNIX

utilities (SH, RM, etc.) on the windows platform and effectively provides the functions of

these utilities that GNUMAKE needs. MU is not required on UNIX or LINUX platforms.

NOTE: The binary for MU.EXE is not distributed in the Pegasus bin directory. You must

build it separately. MU source code is part of the distribution in the directory

src/utils/MU with its own make file. You must compile MU before you initiate the Pegausu

make.

NOTE: A copy of the binary is made available as a zip file on the Pegasus WEB site.

Again, MU is used ONLY if you are using Windows.

3. FLEX and BISON - These tools were used to develop the MOF compiler and WQL

parser. Anybody intending to recompile the compiler or parser from scratch will be

required to have these tools. They are only required if changes need to be made to the

files for parsing and compiling.

4. DLCOMPAT - dlcompat is a dlopen(3) et.al. compatibility library for Mac OS

X/Darwin.

NOTE:  The dlcompat is not distributed with pegasus source.

dlcomapt is avilable from

<a href="http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/dlcompat/">http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/dlcompat/

</a>

Again, dlcomapt needs to be installed ONLY if you are using Mac OS X/Darwin.

5. DOC++ - The Pegasus documentation is taken from a combination of text files

and the Pegasus header files themselves. This documentation is formatted with DOC++ and

GAWK. These tools are required if the documentation is to be recreated but we expect that

only the core team will be recreating documentation.

6. ICU Internationalization libraries - These libraries are used as the basis

for message catalogs for message internationalization. See the ICU website

(http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/) for more information on these libraries

7. OpenSSL - If it is intended to use SSL on the communication

protocol, the OpenSSL libraries are required.

<h1><a name="peg_dir_struc">The Pegasus Directory Structure</a></h1>

Pegasus is distributed as a complete source directory structure that should be

installed either from one of the snapshots or from CVS.

The Pegasus Directory is documented in <span

style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">PEP 191 and listed in the Pegasus /doc

directory.

<h1><a name="dev_with_peg">Development with Pegasus and Pegasus Tools</a></h1>

ATTN: This section needs to be completed. It should reference the more complete

documentation.

<h1><a name="cmnd">Commands</a></h1>

The manpages for each of the commands are in rpm/manLinux/man1.Z directory (on CVS)

To see simple help for each of the commands, use the "-h" flag.

<pre>Examples:

bin/cimserver s (Shuts it down)

bin/cimserver traceLevel=4 traceComponents=ALL (starts server with config flags)

bin/cimprovider l s (lists providers and their status)

bin/cimprovider e m OperatingSystemModule (enables the OperatingSystem provider)

bin/cimuser a u guest w ThePassword

bin/cimuser l (lists the users)

bin/tomof CIM_Config (extract CIM_Config from repository and present it in MOF type)

</pre>

</blockquote>

<h1><a name="docs">Pegasus Documentation</a></h1>

The documentation is currently in preparation.  Much of Pegasus is documented in

the PEGASUS PEPs which are the basis for approval of Pegasus functionality, changes,

plans, etc.  These documents are openly available on the PEGASUS web site.  The

preliminary documentation is not provided with this release. The current documentation is

maintained both as a manual created under the tool DOC++ in the runtime subdirectory

manual/html (see doc/devManual to create), as an api document also creatable from the

source tree (see doc/apidoc) and as other miscellaneous documentation in the doc

directory. Also there is a set of release notes. Normally the release notes for the

current release are available in the root source directory of CVS.

Note that the Pegasus WEB site at The Open Group will be the source of most

documentation in the future and today is the source of most discussion and design

documentation.

<h1><a name="part">Participate!</a></h1>

We are looking for people who want to join the Pegasus work group and contribute to

effort of getting this Pegasus off the ground. Please join the mailing list by visiting

www.openpegasus.org, and click on Mailing Lists.

<h1><a name="inst_peg">Install Pegasus</a> </h1>

You can install and run Pegasus on any of the supported platforms. The installation

process includes the following steps:

<ol>

<li>Download or checkout Pegasus. </li>

<li>Verify that you have the required software. </li>

<li>Set environment variables. </li>

<li>Build the Pegasus runtime, test files, test clients and repository. </li>

</ol>

<a name="download">Step 1: Download or checkout Pegasus</a>

Pegasus is freely available from the open group's Pegasus home page: <a target="blank"

href="http://www.openpegasus.org">http://www.openpegasus.org</a>. To obtain Pegasus, you

can either check it out using CVS or download a snapshot image of the soruce distribution.

For more information about checking out Pegasus using CVS, see: <a href="#avail_of_peg">Availability

of Pegasus</a>.

Pegasus is not currently releasing binaries, but you can create RPMs using a script

included with the source distribution. See <a href="#bld_rpms">Building RPMs for Pegasus</a>

for more information.

<a name="vfy_req_sw">Step 2: Verify that you have the required software</a>

Refer to the section <a href="#peg_dep">Pegasus Dependencies</a> and verify that you

have the software required for your Operating System and planned usage of Pegasus.

<a name="set_envt_var">Step 3: Set the environment variables</a>

Before installing or running Pegasus, ensure that the following environment variables

have been defined or updated:

<dl>

<dt>PEGASUS_ROOT </dt>

<dd>Defines the path to the "pegasus" directory you've pulled from CVS, for

example: <tt>/opt/pegasus/pegasus-2.3.2</tt>

</dd>

<dt>PEGASUS_HOME </dt>

<dd>Defines the directory that will contain the output binary files. For example, if you set

this to <tt>$HOME/pegasus_home</tt>, then the output will go into <tt>$HOME/pegasus_home/bin</tt>

and <tt>$HOME/pegasus_home/lib.</tt>

If you plan on doing parallel builds, you may want to define a unique PEGASUS_HOME value

for each build you need, that way the output of each build will be placed in its own

directory, for example: <tt>$HOME/pegasus_home_LINUX_IX86_GNU.</tt>

</dd>

<dt>PEGASUS_PLATFORM </dt>

<dd>Identifies the platform to be built. Each supported platform has a unique identifier

with the following form:

<tt><Operating-System>_<Architecture>_<Compiler></tt> The following

values are tested for the OpenPegasus release:

<ul>

<li>AIX_RS_IBMCXX </li>

<li>HPUX_PARISC_ACC </li>

<li>LINUX_IA64_GNU </li>

<li>LINUX_IX86_GNU </li>

<li>LINUX_PPC_GNU </li>

<li>LINUX_ZSERIES_GNU </li>

<li>NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS </li>

<li>SOLARIS_SPARC_CC </li>

<li>SOLARIS_SPARC_GNU </li>

<li>TRU64_ALPHA_DECCXX </li>

<li>ZOS_ZSERIES_IBM</li>

<li>DARWIN_PPC_GNU </li>

</ul>

</dd>

<dd>Add $PEGASUS_HOME/bin to your path.</dd>

</dl>

Additional configuration:

<ul>

<li>For Unix builds, place $PEGASUS_HOME/lib on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. </li>

<li>For RedHat/SuSE/UL, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add $PEGASUS_HOME/lib.</li>

</ul>

<a name="bld">Step 4: Build the Pegasus runtime, test files, test clients and

repository</a>

Pegasus includes several make files that enable you to quickly build or refresh the

Pegasus runtime, test files, test client and the repository. To use these make files, type

"make" followed by one of the supplied targets.

To build Pegasus, run the following commands from the root directory of the Pegasus

distribution:

<ol>

<li>Enter <tt>make</tt> This builds all of Pegasus.

</li>

<li>Enter <tt>make repository</tt> This creates the repository, which is needed to serve

data. To create the additional namespaces that represent the test support you can also

execute "make testrepository".

</li>

<li>Enter <tt>make tests</tt> This executes all the tests included with the Pegasus

distribution, except the client/server tests. The client/server tests are executed

separately from the above because they require the initiation of separate process for the

Pegasus server and Pegasus client. To execute these tests, refer to the scripts in

pegasus/mak/BuildMakefile. Refer to the prestarttests and poststarttests in this file.

</li>

</ol>

The following make targets are supported:

<ul>

<li><default> - Build everything. </li>

<li>clean - Clean out all objects, libs, and executables. </li>

<li>depend - Create the dependencies. </li>

<li>repository - Create the repository in $PEGASUS_HOME/repository </li>

<li>tests - Execute all tests (except client server tests). </li>

<li>rebuild - clean, depend, <default> </li>

<li>world - depend, <default> </li>

</ul>

Generally the build commands are as follows:

<ol>

<li>There is a Makefile in the Pegasus root directory. Simply executing make in the Pegasus

root directory will make everything. "make rebuild" will clean and rebuild

everything. The "make rebuild" will also populate the repository with the

current CIM Schemas. </li>

<li>To test a fresh release, go to the pegasus root and type "make

world".  This will build dependencies, build binaries, and then run all

tests except the Client/Server tests. </li>

<li>To execute the basic test suite that is shipped with pegasus type  "make

tests". This also reinstalls the repository.  Running "make -s tests"

suppresses extraneous output such as the enter/leave directory messages. </li>

<li>"make clean" removes all object and library files from the structure. </li>

<li>A new build system has been added to Pegasus where a new CVS checkout is done, built,

and tests are run. Do it by: "make -f mak/BuildMakefile cleanbuild" </li>

</ol>

<h2><a name="pop_peg_rep">Populate the Pegasus repository</a> </h2>

Before using Pegasus you must populate the repository. Typically, this is done during

the buld process when you run the makefile. However, you can also do it manually after the

Pegasus has been built.

<ol>

<li>Register the MOF (Managed Object Format) file describing the skeleton of the object. </li>

<li>Register a second MOF which only points out which lib*.so file to be loaded when a

specific object is activated. </li>

</ol>

The providers included with Pegasus are automatically entered into the repository by

running the following command: <tt>make repository</tt>

The 'make repository' in pegasus/Schemas does three things:

<ul>

<li>Generates the CIM Schema v2.8 in the repository (skeleton of CIM objects). To do this,

it runs the MOF compiler on the CIM schema: <tt>cimmofl -Schema v2.8</tt> </li>

<li>Sets up operations (shutdown, add users, etc) and CIM indications (SNMP, Events, Alert,

Threshold, etc) internal to the Pegasus schema by running the following command: <tt>cimmofl

-PG_InterOp</tt> </li>

<li>Registers included CIM Providers (libOSProvider.so, libDNSProvider.so, ) in

Pegasus (which are located in src/Providers) by running: <tt>cimmofl -PG_ManagedSystem</tt>

</li>

</ul>

<h2><a name="reg_prov">Registering Providers in the Pegasus Environment</a></h2>

Pegasus registers providers with a set of provider registration classes, not using the

provider qualifier as is done in most DMTF CIM CIMOM implementations today. This set of

classes is close to but not exactly the same as the current DMTF definition (See the DMTF

Interop schema, experimental versions starting with 2.6). This will be harmonized in the

future when the DMTF scheme is moved to final status.

Registration is performed by defining a MOF for the instances of the registration

classes that represent the porvider module, providers, classes, etc. to be

registered.  The easiest way to create a new registration today is to copy from one

of the existing registration MOFs.  See the providers/sample/load directory for

examples of several registration instance implementations that do work with Pegasus today.

<h2><a name="bld_rpms">Building RPMs for Pegasus</a> </h2>

The source distribution includes a script you can use to create an RPM for Pegasus. To

do this, your environment must meet the following requirements:

<ul>

<li>The root directory for Pegasus must be "/Pegasus-1.0" </li>

<li>Your environment variables must be set, as described in <a href="#set_envt_var">Set

evironment variables</a>. </li>

<li>You must be logged in as the root user.</li>

</ul>

To create the RPMs, run the script <tt>rpmBuild</tt> from the root directory of the

source distribution. For example: <tt>. /usr/source/pegasus-1.0/rpmBuild</tt>

This will result in and RPM file names <tt>pegasus<version number>.rpm</tt>.

Note: After you install using the install using the PRM, you must

crate and populate teh repository manually.

Question: I'm still working on this procedure (I haven't gotten it to work yet).

<h2><a name="note_bld_peg_lnx">Notes about Building Pegasus on Linux </a></h2>

Pegasus supports many distributions of Linux. Refer to <a href="#peg_sup_plat">Pegasus

Supported Platforms</a> for more information.

To build Pegasus on Linux, ensure that you you have the environment variables set

(PEGASUS_HOME, PEGASUS_ROOT, PEGASUS_PLATFORM.  For 32 bit linux, the definition of

PEGASUS_PLATFORM is normally LINUX_IX86_GNU.

<h2><a name="bld_peg_win">Notes on building Pegasus on Windows 2k or Windows XP with

Microsoft Visual C++ </a></h2>

Use of Windows 2000 SP3 or later is recommended.  Pegasus is regularly tested on

both Windows 2000 and Windows XP using the Microsoft compilers.

Today we build Pegasus on Windows using a set of make files contained in the source

distribution, the Microsoft compilers (DevStudio 5.x is not supported, Visual Studio 6.0,

SP5 is supported) and the GNUMAKE make utility.  Note that you MUST have the Pegasus <a

href="#mu_utility">mu.exe </a>utility compiled and available before trying to compile

Pegasus on the normal windows platform. The following is the basic setup steps for the

environment.

Setup the environment variables and path for the Micrososft Visual C compiler.

Typically this can be done by running the VCVARS32.BAT file supplied with Microsoft Visual

C++. (contained in the same directory as cl.exe).

For Windows, try the following for an example environment:

<pre>REM call the standard Microsoft .bat for VC 6 setup.

call 'C:/Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\Vcvars32.bat'

REM Set debug to something if you want compile in debug mode

set PEGASUS_DEBUG=true

REM set PEGASUS_ROOT to top of source tree

set PEGASUS_ROOT=C:/cimom/pegasus (Note: <span

class="norm">The '/' characters are intentional and required by the Pegasus build system)

REM set PEGASUS_HOME to where you want repository and executables

set PEGASUS_HOME=%PEGASUS_ROOT%

REM setup the path to the runtime files.

set path=%path%;%PEGASUS_HOME%\bin

</pre>

</blockquote>

<h3><a name="mu_utility">The MU Utility </a></h3>

In order to provide a consistent build structure across multiple platforms, we

developed a small utility to provide a consistent set of small utilities across these

platforms. The MU utilityis a simple utility that contains many commands. For example:

C:\> mu rm myfile.cpp yourfile.cpp

You may type "mu" to get a list of valid commands. Here are some of them:

rm, rmdirhier, mkdirhier, echo, touch, pwd, copy, move, compare

depend

The MU utility supports globing (expansion of wildcards) so you can do things like

this:

C:\> mu rm *.obj *.exe

MU is required to build under the Windows environment. MU is available as part of the

distribution of Pegasus.

These tests currently depend on specific messages returned from the server. When ICU is

enabled, all messages come from the resource bundles and these usually do not match the

hardcoded default messages within Pegasus. These hardcoded default messages are what the

various test programs expect in order to complete successfully. If the ICU enabled server

is started without disabling message loading from the bundles, "make

poststartests" will fail. In order to run "make poststarttests"

successfully with ICU enabled, an environment variable called PEGASUS_USE_DEFAULT_MESSAGES

must exist prior to starting the server. Once this is defined, when the cimserver starts,

all messages generated will be the default hardcoded messages. This will enable "make

poststarttests" to complete successfully. Once "make poststarttests" is

complete, you should stop the cimserver and then undefine PEGASUS_USE_DEFAULT_MESSAGES. If

this variable is left defined, Pegasus will not be able to load messages using ICU

resource bundles.

When running the make

tests command with ICU enabled, the PEGASUS_MSG_HOME environment variable must be set to

the home directory where the ICU resource bundles are built. By default the resource

bundles are built into directories below PEGASUS_HOME/msg, so that should be the setting

for PEGASUS_MSG_HOME.
