COMMENTS: Pegasus only uses limited facilities from ACE. We actively |
|
discourage the Pegasus team from using other functions of ACE. We expect to |
|
eliminate our dependence on ACE as the only TCP tool in the near future. |
|
However, today Pegasus demands 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. |

Building from a Distribution --- General |
Building Pegasus: |
======================================== |
================= |
|
|
|
1. Check that you have requisite programs (listed in Pegasus Dependencies). |
|
|
|
These include GNU Make, MU.EXE, Flex, and Bison |
|
|
|
Be sure these are on your path. |
|
|
|
2. Define the following two environment variables: |
|
|
|
PEGASUS_HOME - to point to a directory to contain output binary files |
|
(e.g., set it to $HOME/pegasus_home). |
|
|
|
PEGASUS_PLATFORM - this must be set to a supported platform identifier. |
|
The following are supported: |
|
|
|
WIN32_IX86_MSVC |
|
LINUX_IX86_GNU |
|
AIX_RS_IBMCXX |
|
HPUX_PARISC_ACC |
|
ZOS_ZSERIES_IBM |
|
|
|
This identifier has the following form: |
|
|
|
<Operating-System>_<Architecture>_<Compiler> |
| |
Pegasus is buildable and runnable on either Linux or WIndows Platforms today. |
Note: if you plan on doing parallel builds, you might consider setting |
It uses a common build system for the two platforms based on build files in |
PEGASUS_HOME to something like this: |
each directory, a recursive build strucutre to execute the multiple makes and |
|
GUNMAKE. |
|
|
|
Generally we support the followingtargets in our make system: |
|
| |
|
$HOME/pegasus_home_LINUX_IX86_GNU |
| |
C:\> make clean - Clean out all objects, libs, and executables |
That way, the output of each build will be placed in its own directory. |
C:\> make depend - Create the dependencies |
|
C:\> make |
3. Now place $PEGASUS_HOME/bin on your path |
C:\> make tests - Execute all tests except client server tests |
|
C:\> make rebuild - Clean and rebuild including the respository |
and |
C:\> make world |
|
|
Placd $PEGASUS_HOME/lib on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (for Unix only). |
|
|
|
4. Now change to the root of the Pegasus distrubution and type "make" |
|
(where make referes to GNU make). |
|
|
|
5. Then create the repository, which is needed for some test cases - |
|
"make repository" |
|
|
|
6. To test the build type "make tests". |
|
|
|
The following make targets are supported: |
|
|
|
<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> |
| |

Build Variables |
|
=============== |
|
|
|
The build system depends on the following environment variables build set. |
|
These variables must be set as part of the installation of the Pegasus source |
|
tree before you can compile or run Pegasus. |
|
|
|
PEGASUS_OS_TYPE - optional. The is currently set to windows. If you build |
|
on any platform except windows you must change this before initiating |
|
make. |
|
|
|
PEGASUS_ROOT - Root directory of the Pegasus source tree. |
|
|
|
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, |
|
setting these variables today is manual. |

Building Pegausu on Linux |
Notes about Building Pegasus on Linux: |
========================= |
====================================== |
|
|
1. Obtain, unpack and build the ACE_Wrappers package for Linux. |
|
|
|
2. Define an environment variable called ACE_ROOT that points to the |
|
root of the ACE_WRAPPERS distribution. For example |
|
|
|
IMPORT PEGASUS_ACE_ROOT=\local\ACE_Wrappers |
|
|
|
ATTN: Mike. what is a viable directory for Linux (what do you use) |
|
|
|
3. Define an environment variable PEGASUS_ROOT that points to the |
|
root of the Pegasus Distribution |
|
|
|
|
|
4. Define the environment variable PEGASUS_HOME where you want the |
|
runtime elements (executables, objects, libraries, etc.) to go. |
|
5. Unpack the ace distribution. |
|
|
|
|
|
6. Append %PEGASUS_ROOT%/bin to your path |
|
| |
7. From the %PEGASUS_ROOT% directory build using the make commands |

root of the ACE_Wrappers distribution. For example: |
======================================== |
|
|
C:\> set PEGASUS_ACE_ROOT=c:/ACE_wrappers |
|
|
|
Now append %ACE_ROOT%/bin to the path like this: |
|
|
|
C:\> set path=%path%;%PEGASUS_ACE_ROOT%/bin |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
|
4. Setup the PEGASUS_HOME environment variable |
|
set PEGASUS_HOME=c:/PegasusRun |
|
|
|
Now append %PEGASUS_HOME%/bin to your path like this: |
|
|
|
set path=%path%;%PEGASUS_HOME%/bin |
|
|
|
5. Unpack and build the ACE_Wrappers distribution for windows. |
|
|
|
As an example, we created a file called %ACE_ROOT%/ace/config.h |
|
containing the following: |
|
|
|
#include "ace/config-win32.h" |
|
|
|
and then opened this DSW file in MSVC++ IDE: |
|
|
|
%ACE_ROOT%/ace/ace.dsw |
|
|
|
From the build menu we picked "ace.dll". For me it built without |
|
complaint. |
|
|
|
The ACE package can be built in several configurations: |
|
|
|
ace.dll - The basic package without debugging |
|
aced.dll - debugging added to the basic package |
|
acemfc.dll - ACE with Microsoft MFC support |
|
acemfcd.dll - The ACE MFC version with debugging. |
|
|
|
ace.dll is used for the server build acemfc is used for the client |
|
builds. |
|
|
|
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++. |
|
|
|
6. Unpack the Pegasus distribution. On Windows systems, PKzip25 or |
|
WINZIP can be used. Be certain to use the option that expands the |
|
directory tree of the files. This expansion will create a directory |
|
called ./pegasus |
|
|
|
If you are using pkzip25.exe do this: |
|
C:\> pkzip25 -extract -recurse -directories pegasus.zip |
|
|
|
This will create a directory tree called ./pegasus under the |
|
current directory. |
|
|
|
|
|
7. Change directory to %PEGASUS_ROOT% and type "make world". See the |
|
general build section for the full set of make commands. |
|
|
|
This builds Pegasus and all of its examples. |
|
|
|
7. To verify that it built okay, run the tests |
|
|
|
make tests |
|
|
