For each group the code generator is called and generates 6 output files: group_common.hxx, group_common.cpp, group_client.hxx, group_client.cpp, group_server.hxx, group_server.cpp. The _common files are used by client and server whereas the _client files are used by the client and the _server files by the server only. - \par - To simplify the build process a Makefile snippet is provided that allows to create a server program and a client library (including a corresponding .pc file) using the autotools easily. - \section install_sec Installation - - \subsection requirements Requirements - - boost (serialization ) - - gccxml - - libxmlpp - - \subsection recommended Recommended - - pkg-config - - autotools (automake, autoconf, libtool) - - \subsection Compilation - \verbatim - ./configure && make install - \endverbatim - - - \section usage Usage example - - In this example we create two packages using the autotools: - - server program and client library to connect to the server. The server exports a simple procedure using one group: "t2nexample" - - client program using the library - - \subsection server Example server program and client library - - \par The procedure to export (input for the code generator - libt2n-codegen): t2nexample.cpp: - \verbinclude libt2n-example1/t2nexample.cpp - - \par Required includes go into the group header file: t2nexample.hxx: - libt2n uses boost for serialization. This means all types involved in a remote procedure call must be boost serializable. In this example we use std::string and boost - already provides serialization for std::string in the boost/serialization/string.hpp header file. - \verbinclude libt2n-example1/t2nexample.hxx - - \par The server program: - \verbinclude libt2n-example1/server.cpp - - \par Using autoconf and automake to build a example server program and a client library. - In the configure.in(.ac) we put a check for libt2n: - \verbinclude libt2n-example1/configure.in - Writing the Makefile.am isn't difficult either: - \verbinclude libt2n-example1/Makefile.am - - \par Build and install the package - \verbatim - autoreconf -f -i && ./configure && make install - \endverbatim - - \subsection client Client using the library - Using the library is as simple as using any other library using pkg-config (the pkg-config .pc file is created automatically by the included Makefile snippet) - \par We only have to check that the library is installed - \verbinclude libt2n-example1-client/configure.in - \par The Makefile.am needs nothing special - \verbinclude libt2n-example1-client/Makefile.am - \par The client program - \verbinclude libt2n-example1-client/client.cpp - - \par Build and install the package - \verbatim - autoreconf -f -i && ./configure && make install - \endverbatim - - \par Test - \verbatim -$ cd /tmp -$ file socket -socket: cannot open `socket' (No such file or directory) -$ libt2n-example1-server & -[1] 7711 -$ file socket -socket: socket -$ libt2n-example1-client && echo ok -ok -$ kill %1 -$ rm socket - \endverbatim - - -*/ - -/*! - \example t2nexample.cpp - example input for libt2n-codegen -*/ - #include #include #include -- 1.7.1
