Overview of Software

The software consists of two files:

• ocpForesros-svr4.tar
• esros-full-src.tar

esros-full-src.tar includes:

• Generation scripts to compile and build base.src and test.src directories.
• Portable sources for ESROS protocol engine
• Unsupported system specific portations of ESROS protocol engine.
• Portable sources for ESROS test tools
• Unsupported system specific portations of ESROS test tools.

Getting the sources

From the installation home directory, type tar -xvf ocpForEsros-svr4.tar, to install the Open C Platform. This is required for ESRO-FULL-SRC, ESRO-BASE-SRC and ESRO-TEST-SRC.

By typing tar -xvf esros-full-src.tar, the ESROS user,provider and test programs will be installed.

A brief description of the directory hierarchy follows:

base.src:

This directory contain the sources and header files for the ESROS protocol engine

unsupp.svr4:

Unsupported System V Rel. 4 specific portation of the protocol engine.

bin:

Scripts and utilities for compilation of the software.

include:

System wide header files such as "target.h" which define portation specific parameters of the build.

ocp.svr4:

Place holder for OCP header files. This directory should be replaced by the relevant complete OCP directory.

results.svr4:

Place holder where the results of compilation (e.g., libraries and executables) will be stored.

test.src:

This directory contain the sources and header files for the ESROS test tools.

unsupp.svr4:

Unsupported System V Rel. 4 specific portation of the test tools.

It is very important to note that all sub directories under "unsupp.*" are not considered part of Neda ESROS products and are supplied as example portations only. Eventhough, many of the example programs are described in some detail in this document, they should not be considered a proper part of ESROS products.

Compiling and Building the Software

To build this distribution:

source sourceme.csh

And then:

./buildAll.sh

If you don't have gmake, you may have to edit the build scripts.

To run esros example programs refer to the relevant sections of this document.
