Galaxy Communicator Documentation:

Using non-MIT Makefiles

License / Documentation home / Help and feedback

As of Galaxy Communicator 2.0, no stubber is required to generate headers. This means that it's easy to use non-MIT makefiles to compile Communicator-compliant servers. We provide an example of this.

You need to declare a number of things in order to compile the server:

• You need the value of the Communicator root directory.
• You need the value of ARCHOS, to choose the correct library.
• You need to determine the value of LIBEXT, to make sure you specify the proper library dependency.
• You need the current source directory in your includes.
• You need the Communicator header directory in your includes.
• You need the Communicator library in your libraries. The library must follow your source or object files in your link command, because the Communicator library contains default implementations of functions which are defined in your server headers.
• If you use any of the undocumented cross-platform thread API, you must add the C preprocessor flags -DGAL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT.

# This example doesn't use either the MIT or the MITRE
# Makefile templates, as an illustration.

ROOTDIR = /packages/GalaxyCommunicator

TEMPLATES = $(ROOTDIR)/templates

# I need to get the architecture to find the MIT libraries.
# But I need to load config.make to find out what the ARCH prefix
# is, and config.make to find out what ARCHOS_PREFIX is.

include $(TEMPLATES)/archos.make

CPPFLAGS = -I. -I$(ROOTDIR)/include

LIBS = -L$(ROOTDIR)/lib/$(ARCHOS) -lGalaxy

ifeq ($(OS),solaris)
LIBS += -lsocket -lnsl -lrt
endif

include $(TEMPLATES)/shared_libs.make

# If we're using shared libraries, add the run-time dependency on
# the library to the LIBS line.

ifdef SHARED_LIBS
  ifdef XLINKER_RTFLAG
    LIBS += -Xlinker $(XLINKER_RTFLAG) -Xlinker $(ROOTDIR)/lib/$(ARCHOS)
  endif
endif

LIBDEPS = $(ROOTDIR)/lib/$(ARCHOS)/libGalaxy$(LIBEXT)

all: double

double: double.c $(LIBDEPS)
        gcc -g $(CPPFLAGS) -o double.$(ARCHOS).bin double.c $(LIBS)
