Building the IDEA-DEV infrastructure

Todo:

describe how to build.....

Dependencies

To build the IDEA development framework one needs to install:

• Adaptive Communication Network (ACE)
• Extensible Universal Remote Operations Architecture (EUROPA)
• Inter Process Communication (IPC)
• Apache Xerces

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

Adaptive Communication Network (ACE)

The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) 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.

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.

Inter Process Communication (IPC)

IPC provides high-level support for connecting processes using TCP/IP sockets and sending data between processes.

See documentation of IPC for building.

Apache Xerces

Apache Xerces 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.
