Vocalocity OpenVXI 3.4 Build Instructions

• gcc version 3.2.2 or later
• Xerces Version 2.6.0
• SpiderMonkey 1.5rc6a
• Perl 5.6 or later

2.2 Environment Variables

The following environment variables must be set prior of building OpenVXI 3.4 sources.

• SWISBSDK points to the baseline of OpenVXI 3.4 for the build environment The baseline structure must be created as following:
  • $(SWISBSDK)/bin
  • $(SWISBSDK)/lib
  • $(SWISBSDK)/include
  • $(SWISBSDK)/config
    
• XERCESDIR points to the root directory of compiled Xerces 2.6.0
• SPIDERMONKEYDIR points to the root directory of compiled SpiderMonkey 1.5rc6a

2.3 Build and Build Order

Build and Build order:

To build OpenVXI 3.4 sources, cd to each component in the order outlined below, and carry out the following commands: gmake all-shared to build, gmake clean to clean. After a successful build, all relevant files will be appropriately copied to the baseline. By default debug libraries are built; specify CFG=release or CFG=debug on the gmake command line to explicitly choose which build type to produce.

To ensure a successful build, the following order must be followed:

• VXIinterfaces
• swichar
• value
• trd
• log
• cache
• inet
• jsi
• VXI
• VXIclient

3. Win32

• MSVC++ 6.0 or later - OpenVXI has been tested with Visual Studio .NET and does not require STLPort.  However, it should still be possible to use it (the makefiles will have to be modified to account for a different lib name).
• Xerces Version 2.6.0
• SpiderMonkey 1.5rc6a
• OpenSSL 0.9.7e
• Perl 5.6 or later
• STLPort 4.6 or later (4.6.1 is not recommended since we have heard reports of runtime problems with OpenVXI and 4.6.1). As of this version of OpenVXI, the 5.0 RC version of STLPort has not been tested, and in fact creates a different lib name.  Alternatively any third party STL library (MSVC 6's STL has known robustness and threading problems, we do not recommend using that STL library). The makefile.rules will need to be modified for other 3rd party STL libraries.

NOTE:  According to Mozilla, MSVC (including .NET) users must add /OPT:NOICF flag to the linker options when building SpiderMonkey.  For further information, reference http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/release-notes/NOICF.html.

3.2 Environment Variables

The following environment variables must be set prior of building OpenVXI 3.4 sources.

• SWISBSDK points to the root directory of the OpenVXI 3.4 distribution.
• XERCESDIR points to the root directory of the compiled Xerces 2.6.0
• SPIDERMONKEYDIR points to the root directory of compiled SpiderMonkey 1.5rc6a
• OPENSSLDIR points to the root directory of compiled OpenSSL 0.9.7e
• STLPORTDIR points to the root directory of the compiled STLPORT library. Not defining this directory will default to using Microsoft's STL.
• MSVC_VERSION indicates the version of the MSVC compiler (VC6, VC7 or VC71).  The default is VC71.

3.3 Build and Build Order

To build OpenVXI 3.4 sources, navigate to each component directory in order outlined below and run "nmake -f Makefile.NT CFG=release" for release mode or CFG=debug for debug builds. After a successful build, allrelevant executable files will be appropriately copied to the $(SWISBSDK)\bin directory, and lib files to the $(SWISBSDK)lib directory.

To ensure a successful build, the following order must be followed:

• VXIinterfaces
• swichar
• value
• trd
• log
• cache
• inet
• jsi
• VXI
• VXIclient

4. Other Operating Systems

OpenVXI does not explicitly support or test with other OS's at this time. If an integrator would like to support another OS we would recommend starting with the Linux build instructions and Makefiles as a base. From time to time we have incorporated changes integrators have done to support other OS's when practical. Please post any OS related changes to the Open VXI mailing list (mailto:openvxi-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net) for consideration in future versions of OpenVXI.
