Request for a new binary release of Portico #289

Closed harlan3 closed 3 years ago

harlan3 commented 5 years ago

The current downloadable version of Portico was built on Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS using gcc 4.8.4. This version of Ubuntu has reached the end of standard support this month (April 2019). A new build of Portico built on a modern linux distro is desired. It would also be nice to have some guidance in a readme capturing the process of building Portico from source.

Hi there Harlan3,

I've just submitted a PR for the issue https://github.com/openlvc/portico/issues/290 which was preventing portico from being used on modern linux distributions (anything that uses gcc5 onwards).

Creating a distribution of portico from source is a fairly straightforward process if you have java installed. Simply navigate to the codebase/ directory of the repository on the command line and run the command:

./ant sandbox

This will generate a "sandboxed" version of the distribution to the codebase/dist directory. If you'd like an installer simple run the following command instead:

./ant installer

Hope that information helps!

Michael

Hi Michael, have you a full step by step compile with requirements? I know I will need Java, gcc, ant , etc but I need to know all stuff and it versions. Thanks.

michaelrfraser commented 4 years ago

Hey there @icemagno,

Ant is included in the repository, so you should only need gcc and java installed.

Expected versions are:

gcc 5.0 java 8.0

Please see the file codebase/build.properties for the default locations that the build system expects java to reside at. If they are different on your machine, simply create a copy of build.properties called local.properties and override the values to the correct path.

From there, it should just be a matter of navigating to the codebase directory and running either ./ant sandbox or ./ant installer.

Best Regards,

Michael

Hi Michael, thanks for the light-speed-reply. Almost before my post.

I will try to create a Docker image with Portico. I hope I can create a kind of RTI server to act as a Federation hub.

icemagno commented 4 years ago

Why are you using codebase/build.properties to find Java and not my JAVA_HOME ? Editing files is not very nice in a Docker build process.

Just for register you can download a fresh version of a dockerized version of Portico in https://hub.docker.com/r/projetoarcanjo/portico
