\section dependency Dependencies 

To build the IDEA development framework one needs to install:

\li \ref ACE
\li \ref EUROPA2
\li \ref IPC
\li \ref Xerces

The default build will require you to install all four libraries.

\subsection ACE Adaptive Communication Network (ACE)

The <A HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-overview.htm">ADAPTIVE Communication 
Environment (ACE)</A> is a freely available, open-source object-oriented framework that
 implements many core patterns for concurrent communication software. ACE needs to be 
installed and compiled before compiling anything else. 

We currently support ACE version 5.3.1 (there no specific reasons why newer version would not work).

See documentation of ACE for building.

\subsection EUROPA2 Extensible Universal Remote Operations Architecture (EUROPA)

EUROPA 2 (also known as PLASMA), is the next generation of the Extensible Universal 
Remote Operations Architecture and is a component-based software library for 
representation and reasoning with plans and schedules.

Contact IDEA support for what version to use and how to build.

\subsection IPC Inter Process Communication (IPC)

<A HREF="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/TCA/www/ipc/ipc.html">IPC</A> provides high-level 
support for connecting processes using TCP/IP sockets and sending data between processes. 

See documentation of IPC for building.

\subsection Xerces Apache Xerces

<A HREF="http://xerces.apache.org/index.html">Apache Xerces</A> is a collaborative software development project dedicated to providing robust, 
full-featured, commercial-quality, and freely available XML parsers and closely related 
technologies on a wide variety of platforms supporting several languages.

See documentation of Xerces for building.
