Building ACE+TAO

Download ACE+TAO.zip from one of the following locations.

Build ACE and TAO using Visual Studio.

Rename ace/config-win32.h to ace/config.h in the extracted ACE+TAO.zip directory.

Open ACE_vs2019.sln (or ACE_vs2017.sln) in Visual Studio and build it. For 64-bit builds, change the solution platform from Win32 to x64.

Next, set the following environment variable, then open TAO_vs2019.sln (or TAO_vs2017.sln) in Visual Studio and build it.

Environment Variable	Description	Example
ACE_ROOT	Path to the extracted ACE_wrappers directory	C:/work/ACE_wrappers

cd TAO
set ACE_ROOT=C:/work/ACE_wrappers
TAO_vs2019.sln

Building ACE+TAO

Obtain ACE+TAO.tar.gz and build it using the following commands.

export ACE_INSTALL_DIR=~/work/ace_install
sudo apt-get install gperf
export ACE_ROOT=${PWD}/ACE_wrappers/build/linux
export TAO_ROOT=${ACE_ROOT}/TAO
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ACE_ROOT/ace:$ACE_ROOT/lib
export INSTALL_PREFIX=$ACE_INSTALL_DIR
wget https://github.com/DOCGroup/ACE_TAO/releases/download/ACE%2BTAO-7_0_6/ACE+TAO-7.0.6.tar.gz
tar xf ACE+TAO-7.0.6.tar.gz
cd ACE_wrappers
mkdir -p build/linux
./bin/create_ace_build build/linux
echo '#include "ace/config-linux.h"' > build/linux/ace/config.h
echo 'include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_linux.GNU' > build/linux/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU
cd build/linux
make
make install
cd TAO
make
make install

To enable SSLIOP, you must enable the ssl option and build SSLIOP as shown below.

cd build/linux
make ssl=1
make install ssl=1
cd TAO
make SSLIOP ssl=1
make install ssl=1

Setting Environment Variables

&aname(ubuntu_env);

To allow pkg-config to detect ACE+TAO, set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable as follows.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${ACE_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Starting the Name Server (SSLIOP)

To start the Name Server with SSLIOP communication enabled, execute the following command.

${ACE_INSTALL_DIR}bin/tao_cosnaming -ORBSvcConf server.conf -ORBEndpoint iiop://localhost:/ssl_port=2809

If the endpoint is specified as ssliop://localhost:2809, access using the corbaloc format will not work correctly. Therefore, specify the endpoint as iiop://localhost:/ssl_port=2809, as shown above.

For example, prepare server.conf as follows.

dynamic SSLIOP_Factory Service_Object *
        TAO_SSLIOP:_make_TAO_SSLIOP_Protocol_Factory()
        "-SSLAuthenticate SERVER_AND_CLIENT -SSLPrivateKey PEM:server_key.pem -SSLCertificate PEM:server_cert.pem -SSLCAfile PEM:cacert.pem"
static Resource_Factory "-ORBProtocolFactory SSLIOP_Factory"
