Setting up your Linux enviroment

These steps take no more than 15 mns to complete,starting from scratch. After you complete them, you should be all set to build the Tuscany C++ runtime.

From a shell prompt, create a $HOME/tuscany directory.

Prerequisites

Install the following prerequisites:

  1. Subversion - SVN version 1.3.0 or later is good (most Linux distros already include SVN).

  2. Ant and a Java JDK are required by the SCA code generation tool used to generate proxies and wrappers for C++ components.
    • Download apache-ant-1.6.5-bin.
    • In '$HOME/tuscany' do tar xzf apache-ant-1.6.5-bin.tar.gz.

    • Configure your environment:
      export JAVA_HOME=$HOME/tuscany/jdk1.5.0_06
      PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
    • Download JDK 5.0 from java.sun.com.

    • From $HOME/tuscany run jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin, this will extract the JDK in $HOME/tuscany/jdk1.5.0_06.

    • Configure your environment:
      export JAVA_HOME=$HOME/tuscany/jdk1.5.0_06
      PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
  3. Libxml2 2.6.20 or later.Libxml2 is already in most Linux distros, just check that you have version 2.6.20 or later. To see which version of libxml2 is installed on your system do rpm -aq | grep libxml2.

    Configure your environment:
    export LIBXML2_LIB=/usr/lib
    export LIBXML2_INCLUDE=/usr/include/libxml2
  4. Axis2C version 0.92.
    • Download axis2c-bin-0.92-linux.tar.gz from Apache.org.

    • From $HOME/Tuscany do tar xzf axis2c-bin-0.92-linux.tar.gz, this will install Axis2C in $HOME/Tuscany/axis2c-bin-0.92-linux.

    • Configure your environment:
      export AXIS2C_HOME=$HOME/tuscany/axis2c-bin-0.92-linux
      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$AXIS2C_HOME/lib

Download the Tuscany C++ code
  • From $HOME/tuscany, do svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/cpp, this will check out all the source code in $HOME/tuscany/cpp.

  • Configure your environment:
    export TUSCANY_SCACPP=$HOME/tuscany/cpp/sca/deploy
    export TUSCANY_SDOCPP=$HOME/tuscany/cpp/sdo/deploy
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$TUSCANY_SDOCPP/lib:$TUSCANY_SCACPP/lib
Building Tuscany

The builds use the GNU automake + configure tools, which nicely analyze your environment and generate all the make files you need.

To build the SDO C++ runtime:

    cd $HOME/tuscany/cpp/sdo
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=$TUSCANY_SDOCPP --enable-static=no
    make
    make install
    cd $HOME/tuscany/cpp/sdo/samples
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=$TUSCANY_SDOCPP --enable-static=no
    make
    make install
    

Note: Tuscany already has build.sh scripts that do all of this for you, but I wanted to use the individual commands to understand what was going on at each step. Also, when you make code changes in general you just run make and make install and not the whole set of steps.

To run the the SDO test suite:

     cd $HOME/tuscany/cpp/sdo
    ./sdotest.sh
To build the SCA C++ runtime:
    cd $HOME/tuscany/cpp/sca
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=$TUSCANY_SCACPP --enable-static=no
    make
    make install
    cd $HOME/tuscany/cpp/sdo/samples
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --prefix=$TUSCANY_SCACPP --enable-static=no
    make
    make install
To run the SCA runtime tests:
    cd $HOME/tuscany/cpp/sdo
    ./scatest.sh
To run the SCA calculator sample:
    cd $HOME/tuscany/cpp/sca/deploy/samples/Calculator/deploy/bin
    ./runclient.sh
