 Pegasus Dependencies  
 ====================  
  
 We have worked to minimize the dependence of Pegasus on other software  4. Pegasus Dependencies:
 packages and tools. Currently Pegasus has the following dependencies  =========================
   
 1. ACE_Wrappers communication package - The ACE Wrappers package is used for  
 communication and some low level functions within the MSB, the Pegasus client  
 SDK, and the Pegasus Provider SDK.  ACE is available from the following site.  
   
     http://ace.cs.wustl.edu/cvsweb/ace-cvs.cgi/ACE_wrappers/  
   
 Currently we are using version 5.1 of ACE_Wrappers both in Linux and Windows.

 eliminate our dependence on ACE as the only TCP tool in the near future.  
 However, today we  
 demand the installation of the complete ACE library. One of the action items  
 for the future is to provide a more limited ACE library and possibly even to  
 provide an environment independent of ACE.

   ================
  
     Service Extensions  Pegasus today is provided only as a source distribution.
     Servers - Today the server executable is built from /server/test.  
  
 Installation  To install Pegasus, you must check it out using CVS (Common Version System)
 ============  or download the snapshot. You download, compile, and use it.
  
 Pegasus today is provided only as a source distribution.  You download compile  For the snapshot, the installation of Pegasus involves expanding the snapshot
 and use it. Pegasus currently compiles and runs under both Linux and Windows  distribution files, building the runtime, the test files and test clients, and
 NT environments.  building the repository.
   
 The installation of Pegasus involves expanding the snapshot distribution  
 files, building the runtime, the test files and test clients, and building the  
 repository.  
   
 NOTE: Since the compiler integration is not complete today, the class  
 repository is populated from the XML defintions for the complete CIM schema.  
 This process is included in the build process so that at the end of a complete  
 build, the class repository is completely populated from the CIM 2.4 release  
 schema.  
   
   
 Building from a Distribution --- General  
 ========================================  
   
 Pegasus is buildable and runnable on either Linux or WIndows Platforms today.  
 It uses a common build system for the two platforms based on build files in  
 each directory, a recursive build strucutre to execute the multiple makes and  
 GUNMAKE.  
   
 Generally we support the followingtargets in our make system:  
   
   
             C:\> make clean - Clean out all objects, libs, and executables  
             C:\> make depend - Create the dependencies  
             C:\> make  
             C:\> make tests  - Execute all tests except client server tests  
             C:\> make rebuild - Clean and rebuild including the respository  
             C:\> make world  
  
 The Pegasus Client server tests are executed separately from the above because  
 they require the initiation of separate process for the Pegasus server and  
 Pegasus client. These tests can be executed as follows:  
  
     ATTN: Add the procedure for Client/Server Test start here.  7. Building Pegasus
   =====================
  
   1.  Check that you have requisite programs (listed in Pegasus Dependencies).
  
 For information on particular installation characteristics, tools, etc. for      These include GNU Make, MU.EXE (if using Windows), Flex, and Bison (Flex
 each platform see      and Bison only required if changes will be made to the MOF compiler or WQL
 the appropriate sections below:      parser).
  
 Generally the build commands are as follows:      Be sure these are on your path.
  
     1. There is a Makefile in the Pegasus root.   Simply executing make in the  
     Pegasus root directory will make everything. Make rebuild will clean and  
     rebuild everything.  
  
     2. In order to provide a working class repository for Pegasus until the  2.  Define the following three environment variables:
     MOF compiler is integrated, There is a utility to load the CIM Schema from  
     XML into the repository. This executes the LoadRepository executable which  
     is defined in  
  
         pegasus/src/Pegasus/Repository/tests/LoadRepository      PEGASUS_ROOT - this should be the "pegasus" directory you've pulled from CVS
  
     with the binary in pegasus/bin. This program will load the CIM XML      PEGASUS_HOME - to point to a directory to contain output binary files
     repository definitions into the class repository.      (e.g., set it to $HOME/pegasus_home). Then the output will go into
       $HOME/pegasus_home/bin and $HOME/pegasus_home/lib
  
     3. To test a fresh release, go to the pegasus root and type      PEGASUS_PLATFORM - this must be set to a supported platform identifier.
  
                 "make world".      This identifier has the following form:
  
                    <Operating-System>_<Architecture>_<Compiler>
  
     This will clean, build dependencies, build binaries, and then run all      For example (Linux on IA32 platform using the GNU Compiler):
     tests except the Client/Server tests.                   LINUX_IX86_GNU
  
     4. To execute the basic test suite that is shipped with pegasus type      For a complete list, refer to the platform_ make files found in directory
       pegasus/mak
  
            "make tests"  
  
     5. To run the integral unit code tests provided, simply type      Note: if you plan on doing parallel builds, you might consider setting
       PEGASUS_HOME to something like this:
  
            "make tests"                   $HOME/pegasus_home_LINUX_IX86_GNU
  
     Running "make -s tests" suppresses extraneous output such as the      That way, the output of each build will be placed in its own directory.
     enter/leave directory messages.  
  
     6. "Make Clean" removes all object and library files from the structure.  3.  Now place $PEGASUS_HOME/bin on your path
  
 Build Variables      and
 ===============  
  
 The build system depends on the following environment variables build set.      Place $PEGASUS_HOME/lib on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (for Unix only).
 These variables must be set as part of the installation of the Pegasus source      For RedHat/SuSE/UL, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add $PEGASUS_HOME/lib
 tree before you can compile or run Pegasus.  
  
     PEGASUS_ACE_ROOT - required (points to ACE_wrappers directory). This must  4.  Change to the root of the Pegasus distrubution and type "make"
     be set before you initiate make      (where make refers to GNU make).
  
     PEGASUS_OS_TYPE - optional. The is currently set to windows.  If you build  5.  Then create the repository, which is needed to serve data.
     on any platform except windows you must change this before initiating      "make repository"
     make.  
  
     PEGASUS_ROOT - Root directory of the Pegasus tree.  6.  To test the build type "make tests".
     PEGASUS_HOME - Home directory for all of the Pegasus runtime elements.  
     If this does not exist, $PEGASUS_ROOT$/build is assumed.  
  
  COMMENTS: In the future, we will probably automate this more.  However,  The following make targets are supported:
  setting these variables today is manual.  
  
       <default> - Build everything.
       clean - Clean out all objects, libs, and executables.
       depend - Create the dependencies.
       repository - Create the repository in $PEGASUS_HOME/repository
       tests  - Execute all tests (except client server tests).
       rebuild - clean, depend, <default>
       world - depend, <default>
  
 The MU Utility  The Pegasus 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 please refer to the scripts in
 In order to provide a consistent build structure across multiple platforms, we  pegasus/mak/BuildMakefile - refer to the prestarttests and poststarttests.
 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:  
  
   For information on particular installation characteristics, tools, etc. for
   each platform see the appropriate sections below:
  
     rm, rmdirhier, mkdirhier, echo, touch, pwd, copy, move, compare depend  Generally the build commands are as follows:
  
       1. 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.
  
 The MU utility supports globing (expansion of wildcards) so      2. To test a fresh release, go to the pegasus root and type
 you can do things like this:  
  
                                    "make world".
  
     C:\> mu rm *.obj *.exe  
  
 MU is required to build under the Windows environment.MU is available as part      This will build dependencies, build binaries, and then run all
 of the distribution of Pegasus.      tests except the Client/Server tests.
  
 Building Pegausu on Linux      3. To execute the basic test suite that is shipped with pegasus type
 =========================  
  
 1.      Obtain, unpack and build the ACE_Wrappers package for Linux.                      "make tests". This also reintalls the repository.
  
 2.      Define an environment variable called ACE_ROOT  that points to the      Running "make -s tests" suppresses extraneous output such as the
         root of the ACE_WRAPPERS distribution. For example      enter/leave directory messages.

         ATTN: Mike.  what is a viable directory for Linux (what do you use)  
  
 3.      Define an environment variable PEGASUS_ROOT that points to the      5. A new build system has been added to Pegasus where a new CVS checkout is done,

 4.      Define the environment variable PEGASUS_HOME where you want the  8. Populate the Repository
         runtime elements (executables, objects, libraries, etc.) to go.  ===========================
 5.      Unpack the ace distribution.  
  
   Before using Pegasus you must populate the repository with the providers. The makefile
   does it all for you, but in case you are wondering what it does or how to do it
   manually:
  
 6.      Append %PEGASUS_ROOT%/bin to your path  1. Register the MOF (Managed Object Format) file describing the skeleton of the object.
   2. Register a second MOF which only points out which lib*.so file to be loaded when a
      specific object is activated.
  
 7.      From the %PEGASUS_ROOT% directory build using the make commands  This is done automatically for the providers included in Pegasus by doing:

   ===================
  
 1.      Setup the environment variables and path for the Micrososft Visual C  In order to provide a consistent build structure across multiple platforms, we
         compiler. Typically this can be done by running the VCVARS32.BAT file  developed a small utility to provide a consistent set of small utilities
         supplied with Microsoft Visual C++. (contained in the same directory  across these platforms. The MU utilityis a simple utility that contains many
         as cl.exe).  commands. For example:
  
 2.      Define an environment variable called ACE_ROOT that points to the  
         root of the ACE_Wrappers distribution. For example:  
  
                 C:\> set PEGASUS_ACE_ROOT=c:/ACE_wrappers      C:\> mu rm myfile.cpp yourfile.cpp
  
         Now append %ACE_ROOT%/bin to the path like this:  
  
                 C:\> set path=%path%;%PEGASUS_ACE_ROOT%/bin  You may type "mu" to get a list of valid commands. Here are some
   of them:
  
 3.      Define an environment variable called PEGASUS_ROOT that points to  
         the root of the Pegasus distribution. For example:  
  
                 C:\> set PEGASUS_ROOT=c:/pegasus      rm, rmdirhier, mkdirhier, echo, touch, pwd, copy, move, compare depend
  
  
 4.      Setup the PEGASUS_HOME environment variable  The MU utility supports globing (expansion of wildcards) so
                 set PEGASUS_HOME=c:/PegasusRun  you can do things like this:
  
         Now append %PEGASUS_HOME%/bin to your path like this:  
  
                 set path=%path%;%PEGASUS_HOME%/bin      C:\> mu rm *.obj *.exe
  
 5.      Unpack and build the ACE_Wrappers distribution for windows.  MU is required to build under the Windows environment.MU is available as part
   of the distribution of Pegasus.
  
         As an example, we created a file called %ACE_ROOT%/ace/config.h  
         containing the following:  
  
                 #include "ace/config-win32.h"  10. Notes about Building Pegasus on Linux
   ===========================================
  
         and then opened this DSW file in MSVC++ IDE:  No problem. Just make sure you have the environment variables set.
  
                 %ACE_ROOT%/ace/ace.dsw  
  
         From the build menu we picked "ace.dll". For me it built without  11. Notes about Building Pegasus with SSL
         complaint.  ==========================================
  
         The ACE package can be built in several configurations:  To build with SSL you need the OpenSSL libraries and header files. Make sure
   you have them in a standard directory so Pegasus can find them. If that's not
   the case, set the environment varialble OPENSSL_HOME= to point where your OpenSSL
   installation is.
   
   Also have the PEGASUS_HAS_SSL=yes variable set. Then just run 'make' in Pegasus
   directory and you will have Pegasus with SSL enabled. See section "Creating SSL
   certificates" for more information of how to use SSL.
   
   
   12. Building Pegasus on Windows 2000 (SP3 or later recommended) or Windows XP
       With Microsoft Visual C++
   ======================================================================
   
   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 supported) and the GNUMAKE make utility.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:
   
       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
       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

   the formating and connections. It requires a WEB server, etc.  The
   instructions for setting up this environment are maintained in a separate
   readme in the CGI directory.
  
         NOTE: In the near future we will be building debugging options into  
         Pegasus and at that time the aced and acemfcd libraries will also be  
         required.  
  
         Each library can be built separately from Microsoft Visual C++.  14. Development with Pegasus and Pegasus Tools:

   The manpages for each of the commands are in rpm/manLinux/man1.Z directory (on CVS)
  
 7.      Change directory  to %PEGASUS_ROOT% and type "make world". See the  To see simple help for each of the commands, use the "-h" flag.
         general build section for the full set of make commands.  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)
  
         This builds Pegasus and all of its examples.
