         <H1>Tuscany SDO C++ - Building STDCXX for Tuscany SDO</H1> 

         <P>STDCXX is an implementation of the C++ Standard Library provided by Apache.
         </P>
         <P>The website is at <A href="http://incubator.apache.org/stdcxx/">http://incubator.apache.org/stdcxx/</A>.
         </P>
         <P>At the time of writing, the current release is 4.1.3 and is available as
            source distribution only. This document explains how to build stdcxx for
            Windows XP and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 in the way required by the SDO build
            process.
         </P>

         <OL>
             <LI>The release is distributed as a gzipped tar file, called
                 stdcxx-incubating-4.1.3.tar.gz. Extract the contents of this file into a
                 convenient directory. For this example, let's assume it is
                 /home/Tuscany/stdcxx-4.1.3
             </LI>
             <LI>Define the STDCXX_HOME environment variable to refer to this directory. The
                Tuscany SDO build system uses this environment variable to locate stdcxx.
             </LI>
             <LI>Change directory to STDCXX_HOME. Then build a debug version of the stdcxx
                 library using the following command:
             <PRE>gmake BUILDDIR=$STDCXX_HOME/Debug BUILDTYPE=15d CONFIG=gcc.config</PRE>         
                 This will create a sub-directory of STDCXX_HOME called Debug and place the
                 build products below that.
             </LI>
             <LI>For a release version the command is:
             <PRE>gmake BUILDDIR=$STDCXX_HOME/Release BUILDTYPE=12d CONFIG=gcc.config</PRE>
             </LI>        
         </OL>
         <P>This provides Tuscany SDO with the versions of stdcxx that it needs for both
            Release and Debug builds.
         </P>
         <A NAME="win"><H3>Building STDCXX on Windows</H3></A>
         <P>STDCXX is supported only when used with Microsoft Visual Studio C++ V7.1
         </P>
         <OL>
             <LI>The release is distributed as a gzipped tar file, called stdcxx-incubating-4.1.3.tar.gz. 
                Extract the contents of this file into a convenient directory. For this example let's 
                assume it is C:\Tuscany\stdcxx-4.1.3
             </LI>
             <LI>Define the STDCXX_HOME environment variable to refer to this directory. The
                Tuscany SDO build system uses this environment variable to locate stdcxx.
             </LI>
             <LI>Create two directories to contain the results of building stdcxx. The first is
                for the debug enabled version and must be:
             <PRE>&lt;STDCXX_HOME&gt;\Debug</PRE>
             </LI>
             <LI>The second is for the release (ie optimised) version and must be
             <PRE>&lt;STDCXX_HOME&gt;\Release</PRE>
             </LI>
             <LI>Launch an MSVC++ 7.1 command window. In the command window, set the default
                directory to &lt;STDCXX_HOME&gt; where there is a file called generate.bat. Create
                the project definitions that MSVC++ 7.1 will need in order to build stdcxx by
                running generate.bat using the following command:
             <PRE>.\generate.bat /BUILDDIR:&lt;STDCXX_HOME&gt;\Debug /CONFIG:VC71</PRE>
                It is necessary to provide the full, absolute path to the build directory - it
                is not sufficient to provide a relative path. (This restriction will be fixed
                in a future release.)
             </LI>
             <LI>Repeat this operation for the release build, via the command:
             <PRE>.\generate.bat /BUILDDIR:&lt;STDCXX_HOME&gt;\Release /CONFIG:VC71</PRE>
             </LI>
             <LI>Still using the MSVC++ 7.1 command window, set the default directory to one of
                the two build directories eg
             <PRE>cd &lt;STDCXX_HOME&gt;\Debug</PRE>
             </LI>
             <LI>Then launch the developer studio via
             <PRE>cd &lt;STDCXX_HOME&gt;\Debug</PRE>
             </LI>
             <LI>Select the configuration to build. For the Debug version of SDO this will be
                "15d Debug Thread-safe Dll". Then select "Build Solution". The build will take
                a while to complete and runs a test suite when it is finished. The test suite
                is extensive and produces a scattering of errors, however the library build
                itself is fine.
             </LI>
             <LI>Repeat this process for the release version, setting the default directory to
             <PRE>cd &lt;STDCXX_HOME&gt;\Release</PRE>
                 and choosing "12d Optimized Thread-safe Dll" as the build configuration.
             </LI>        
         </OL>
         <P>This provides Tuscany SDO with the versions of stdcxx that it needs for both
            Release and Debug builds.
