Tango device server for the HDB++ Configuration Manager
The current release version is 1.0.0
- The include file LibHdb++.h has changed from
include "LibHdb++.h"toinclude "libhdb++/LibHdb++.h". This reflects the standard install path of the headers. If building against libhdbpp from a standard system install, then this change makes no difference. If libhdbpp is installed to a custom location, ensure you add the path to the CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH.
- See the Tango documentation here for broader information about the HB++ archiving system and its integration into Tango Controls
- hdbpp-cm CHANGELOG.md contains the latest changes both released and in development.
Ensure the development version of the dependencies are installed. These are as follows:
- HDB++ library libhdbpp.
- Tango Controls 9 or higher.
- omniORB release 4 - libomniorb4 and libomnithread.
- libzmq - libzmq3-dev or libzmq5-dev.
It is also possible to compile and link against tango 8. This is discouraged since this device server has not been test built and run against tango 8 recently. Offically we support tango 9 onwards.
There are a set of library and include variables that can be set to inform the build of various dependencies. The flags are optional and only required if you have installed a dependency in a non-standard location.
| Flag | Notes |
|---|---|
| TANGO_INC | Tango include files directory |
| TANGO_LIB | Tango lib files directory |
| OMNIORB_INC | Omniorb include files directory |
| OMNIORB_LIB | Omniorb lib files directory |
| ZMQ_INC | ZMQ include files directory |
| LIBHDBPP_INC | Libhdb++ include files directory |
| LIBHDBPP_LIB | Libhdb++ lib files directory |
| ADDITIONAL_LIBS | Add additional paths and libraries to the build, eg "-L/lib -lCOS4" |
To get the source, pull from git:
git clone http://github.com/tango-controls-hdbpp/hdbpp-cm.git
cd hdbpp-cmSet appropriate flags in the environment (or pass them to make) if required, then:
makeOnce built simply run make install. The install can be passed a PREFIX variable, this is set to /usr/local by default. It is also possible to use DESTDIR. Install path is constructed as DESTDIR/PREFIX.
The debian package and source install place the headers under /usr/include/tango, so its likely you will need to set TANGO_INC=/usr/include/tango or TANGO_INC=/usr/local/include/tango, depending on your install method.
