Version 117

    A video showing this process on Blacktie 2.0 has been uploaded to Vimeo, this process is very similar for 3.x - feel free to take a look:

    Building BlackTie from Tom Jenkinson on Vimeo.

     

    The following instructions indicate how to build the Blacktie components from source. They assume that you are building on one of the following platforms:

    • Centos 5.4 64 bit (centosx64)
    • Centos 5.5 32 bit (centos55x32)
    • Visual C++ 9 32 bit (vc9x32) [Windows XP and Windows 2003]

    If you are not on one of these platforms, or are building from source, you will need to following the instructions on Building Thirdparty Dependencies. NOTE: Linux users should be fine with one of the CentOS varients even if they are using a newer distribution. SunOS build instructions are in a separate article.

    1. DOWNLOAD TOOLS

      ALL PLATFORMS

      1. Download Sun Java SE Development Kit 1.6.0_20 and ensure the bin folder is in the path

          http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

      2. Download Apache Maven 3.0.3 and ensure the bin folder is added to the path

          http://maven.apache.org/download.html

      WINDOWS ONLY

      Install Visual V++ 2008 Express Edition (o0nly used to provide the compiler and linker on Windows)

      The PATH environment variable will need the runtime DLLs in it

              C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT

      The PATH environment variable will also need the VC++ tools in it
              C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat

      LINUX ONLY (optional)

      Install Valgrind as per the instructions at: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/MemoryLeaksCheckwithValgrind

      You will need to install the gcc-c++ packages: yum install gcc-c++

    2. BUILD PRODUCT

      Change directory to a location where you would like to check out BlackTie, the folder that you check out will then be referred to as <BLACKTIE_HOME>:
      ANON SVN ACCESS

      svn co https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/blacktie/tags/<LATEST_TAG> <LATEST_TAG>

      COMMITTER SVN ACCESS
      We suggest taking trunk for committers as upgrades are rapidly released:
      svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/blacktie/trunk product

      IMPORTANT NOTE: bpa

      The build uses a special user defined flag -Dbpa=<PLAT_ARCH>, the value of this parameter is intended to be a readily understandable representation of your platform and architecture. We currently use the following values: centos54x64 (Linux 64 bit), centos55x32 (Linux 32 bit), vc9x32 (Windows 32 bit). You are free to use any value you like, but it must be used for all builds and must match that of the available third party dependencies (from either repository.jboss.org if possible, or built if necessary).

      TO BUILD WITHOUT RUNNING TESTS

      To build without running tests:

      If you are not using a standard platform such as CentOS 5.4 x54, CentOS 5.5 x32 or greater or Windows XP, you will need to define as profile as shown here.

      TO BUILD AND RUN TESTS

      To build with running tests:

      1. Change directory into <BLACKTIE_HOME>
      2. Ensure JAVA_HOME is set to the JDK install directory
      3. mvn install -Dbpa=<PLAT_ARCH> -DskipTests
      4. Run the JBoss AS server as can be configured for BlackTie by following the instructions at: Deploying BlackTie (DO NOT DEPLOY blacktie-admin-services or stompconnectservice)
      5. cp <BLACKTIE_HOME>/jatmibroker-xatmi/src/test/resources/jatmibroker-xatmi-test-service.xml <JBOSS_HOME>/server/all/deploy
      6. Ensure JAVA_HOME is set to the JDK install directory (so we can find the jni header files)
      7. mvn install -Dbpa=<PLAT_ARCH> [-Duse.valgrind=true|false] (If you are on Linux and do not want to run the tests under valgrind please supply the -Duse.valgrind=false command line parameter to maven)
    3. VERIFY THE BUILD

      To check that the build is successful, you can run the samples which can be found in the binaries (which come from */src/example and examples). Instructions on how to get the examples running from a binary can be found at: Deploying Blacktie
    4. Integrating the Build into your Hudson CI environment

      Take a look at the following article to help you: Integrating the Build into Hudson
