Home < Instructions to Build SPLOT

Create directory "splot-build"

  • Make this directory anywhere you want
  • This is the place all splot stuff and its dependent libs will sit

Build ACE

  • Move the compressed source code (e.g. ACE-5.5.tar.gz) to the directory "splot-build"
  • Unzip the source code and you will have this directory: ACE_wrappers
 gunzip ACE-5.5.tar.gz
 tar xvf ACE-5.5.tar
  • Set environment variable: ACE_ROOT. For instance, in .bash_profile, add
 ACE_ROOT=/home/hliu/projects/splot-build/ACE_wrappers
 export ACE_ROOT
  • Add ACE lib to environment variable: LD_LIBRARY_PATH. For instance, in .bash_profile, add
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ACE_ROOT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  • Create a configuration file, config.h, in $ACE_ROOT/ace. Config.h will contain only the following line:
 #include "ace/config-linux.h"

This file includes the appropriate platform/compiler-specific header configurations from the ACE source directory.

  • Create a build configuration file, platform_macros.GNU, in $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude. Platform_macros.GNU will contain only the following line:
 include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_linux.GNU

This file contains the compiler and Makefile directives that are platform/compiler-specific.

  • Run "make" in the ACE_ROOT directory

The compiling failed in building $ACE_ROOT/ACEXML/examples/SAXPrint. But the ACE libraries are already built in $ACE_ROOT/lib.

Build xerces

 gunzip xerces-c-src_2_7_0.tar.gz
 tar xvf xerces-c-src_2_7_0.tar
  • Set environmental variable: XERCESCROOT. For instance, in .bash_profile, add:
 XERCESCROOT=/home/liu/projects/splot-build/xerces-c-src_2_7_0
 export XERCESCROOT
  • Run autoconf
 cd $XERCESCROOT/src/xercesc
 autoconf
  • In the same directory,
 ./configrue
 make
  • You will see libraries built in $XERCESCROOT/lib

Build scons

 cd /home/surg/projects/splot-build/scons-0.96.1
  • Intall scons. For instance, run
 python setup.py install --prefix=/home/surg/projects/splot-build/scons-0.96.1
  • Intall scons libs. For instance, run
 python setup.py install --standard-lib --prefix=/home/surg/projects/splot-build/scons-0.96.1
  • Set PATH for /home/surg/projects/splot-build/scons-0.96.1/bin

Build opentracker

  • In "splot-build,", download opentracker 2.0 from
 svn co --username otreader https://svn.icg.tu-graz.ac.at/svn/opentracker/trunk opentracker

Press "t" to temporarily accept the certificate. Input OPEN4read when prompted for password.

  • Make a symlink in the opentracker root directory to 'ICGBuilder'
 ln -s ../ICGBuilder ICGBuilder
  • Set the environment variables XERCESROOT and ACEROOT
  • You will need to add xerces library path to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to build the middleware executable (we don't really need this)
  • Run scons in the OpenTracker root directory
