Erlang Corba

The corba repository contains a set of Erlang applications, that implements a CORBA compliant Object Request Broker (ORB) and a number of Object Managemnt Group (OMG) standard services.

Applications

The following applications are a part of the corba package.

• Orber - the Object Request Broker and the naming service (CosNaming)
• Ic - IDL compiler
• CosEvent - event service
• CosEventDomain - event domain service (management of clusters of information channels)
• CosNotification - notification service
• CosTime - time service
• CosTransaction - transaction service
• CosProperty - property service
• CosFileTransfer - file transfer service

Build

Prerequisites

To build the corba repository one need a built version of OTP (e.g. erlc) and a configured OTP source tree because the corba make files uses the OTP make system.

git clone https://github.com/erlang/otp.git
cd otp
./otp_build autoconf
./configure

Compiling the source

The environment variable ERL_TOP should be set to the OTP source path and then it's possible to compile corba from the source with the following commands. (The configure is only for native build)

export ERL_TOP=<OTP source path>

git clone https://github.com/erlang/corba.git
cd corba
make configure
make

To release the applications set the TESTROOT to a directory of choice and the run the following commands.

export TESTROOT=<install path>

make release

And you will get the following structure there so for exmaple the environment variable ERL_LIBScan be used to get the application into the code path (export ERL_LIBS=<my corba release path>/lib).

lib/
    orber-<vsn>/
    cosEvent-<vsn>/
    cosEventDomain-<vsn>/
     :
     :
     :

The documentation build

The dokumentation is build with the following commands.

cd corba
make docs

To release it set the TESTROOT to a directory of choice and the run the following commands.

export TESTROOT=<install path>

make release_docs

This gives the following structure on the release path, where the top index is doc/index.html.
