[OSPL-Dev] 64 bit install of OpenSplice DDS

[Jimmy Shadbolt]

The install fails because it tries to link in 32 bit libraries for TAO. As I
don't want CORBA, how do I tell the install not to include TAO?

Trying to rebuild the CORBA Co-habitation C++ Custom Libraries according to
the instruction on the web site doesn't work as there is no HDE/ directory
that I can see.

Thanks,

JimmyS

Hi Jimmy,

Are you trying to build in 64-bit? OpenSplice currently only supports
building in 32-bit and afaik support for 64-bit will be available in the
V4.2 release. For now you can instruct your compiler to generate 32-bit
libraries (-m32) that can also be used on your 64-bit platform. You do
need to have linux 32-bit libraries on your platform available as well.
Whether or not you need to install these separately depends on your
linux distribution.

Cheers, Niels

Hi Jimmy,

The 4.1 release is not yet supported for 64 bit target compilation. I
think it does says this on the download and build page I believe. The
recommended course right now is to compile for a 32 bit target.

The 64 bit build target in the configure script is therefore a bit of a
'work in progress' but if you fancy giving it a go then you are welcome
to try it.

The reliance on TAO is purely an artefact of how the build scripts are
written - right now they always require the things needed to build the
CORBA cohabitation stuff. We're working on changing that.

Easiest option right now is you can download a 64 bit TAO from:

ftp://www.opensplice.org/downloads/releases/tao/TAO161_0-Linux-gcc346-inline-64bit-090414.tar

... and should install that to keep the build files happy even if you're
not going to use it at all.

Hi Niels,

I got it installed with the 64bit TAO from Simon.

Thanks anyway.

Regards,

Hello Jimmy,

Attached is a pretty simple patch that removes the dependency from CORBA. Just do the following (assuming you have copied the patch in the same directory in which you have the OpenSplice archive):

$ tar xzvf OpenSpliceDDSV4.1-src.tar.gz

$ cd OpenSplice

$ patch -p0 < ../no-orb.patch

Then:

$ . configure

Choose the 32-bit version of your build and are good to go. BTW, this seems to work fine on my Linux installation which runs the latest version of Ubuntu.

Cheers,

Angelo
