OpenSplice

This is a fork of PrismTech's OpenSplice package, with changes primarily to improve the build process.

Build instructions for Linux

1. Install prerequisites. If you find something missing here, please add it.

    sudo apt-get install build-essential flex bison
   

2. Create a directory to build in (note that the directory build exists as part of the OpenSplice source tree):

    mkdir build2
    cd build2
   

3. Configure and build. This looks like CMake, but that's just a thin wrapper around OpenSplice's own, custom build tool. After running their build, we heuristically collect the resulting artifacts into ../install/minimal.

    cmake ..
    make
   

Running programs

The above procedure should build the libraries and the demos (of which there seems to be just one, ishapes). To run a program that uses the OpenSplice libraries, you need to have some environment context established, both to find the libraries, and to let OpenSplice know where to find its configuration:

cd ../install/minimal
export OSPL_HOME=`pwd`
export PATH=$OSPL_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$OSPL_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export OSPL_URI=file://$OSPL_HOME/etc/opensplice/config/ospl.xml

Now you can run a demo, e.g.:

# demo_ishapes is in $OSPL_HOME/bin
demo_ishapes
