OMERO.tools

All of the build artifacts which aren't required by one of the ServerProducts? (OmeroBlitz and OmeroEar) are held under the source:trunk/components/tools directory. Each tools component installs its artifacts to the tools/target directory which is copied on top of the OMERO_HOME/dist top-level distribution directory. Current tools include:

	Ant-based	Ice-based	Make-based
OmeroCpp		X	X
LicenseService	X	X	X
WebAdmin	X

Ant-based builds

Ice-based builds

Make-based builds

Builds which have C++ targets are based generally Make and more specifically on the autotools. These builds are influenced by several environment variables as defined in source:trunk/components/tools/make.xml:

    <property environment="make"/>
    <property name="make.ICE_HOME"    value="/usr/share/Ice"/>
    <property name="make.DESTDIR"     value="${up-two}/target/"/>
    <property name="make.LDFLAGS"     value="-fPIC"/>
    <property name="make.CXXFLAGS"    value="-fPIC -O0 -g"/>
    <property name="make.CXX"         value="ccache g++"/>
    <property name="make.J"           value="1"/>

    <macrodef name="make">
        <sequential>
        <exec executable="${basedir}/../autogen.sh" failonerror="true">
            <arg value="--with-ice=${make.ICE_HOME}"/>
            <arg value="--prefix=${make.DESTDIR}"/>
            <arg value="LDFLAGS=${make.LDFLAGS}"/>
            <arg value="CXXFLAGS=${make.CXXFLAGS}"/>
            <arg value="CXX=${make.CXX}"/>
        </exec>
        <exec executable="make" dir="src" failonerror="true"> <arg value="slice"/> </exec>
        <exec executable="make" dir="src" failonerror="true"> <arg value="-j${make.J}"/> </exec>
        <exec executable="make" dir="src" failonerror="true"> <arg value="install"/> </exec>
        </sequential>
    </macrodef>

ccache

By default the CXX variable used is "ccache g++" meaning ccache must be installed. This is due to the inordinately long build times.
