Building and Installing ACE on Win32 with MinGW/ MSYS

Building and Installing ACE and Its Auxiliary Libraries and Services

For our build we require the packages MinGW and MSYS.

Install the MinGW tools into a common directory, say c:/mingw.

Install the MSYS tools into a common directory, say c:/msys.

Open a MSYS shell. Set your PATH environment variable so your MinGW's bin directory is first:


Add an ACE_ROOT environment variable pointing to the root of your ACE wrappers source tree:

From now on, we will refer to the root directory of the ACE source tree as $ACE_ROOT.

Create a file called config.h in the $ACE_ROOT/ace directory that contains:


Create a file called platform_macros.GNU in the $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude directory containing:

In the above text, don't replace $(ACE_ROOT) with the actual directory, GNU make will take the value from the environment variable you defined previously.
If you lack Winsock 2, add the line


before the previous one.

In the MSYS shell, change to the $ACE_ROOT/ace directory and run make:

This should create libACE.dll (the Win32 shared library) and libACE.dll.a (the Win32 import library for the DLL). Note that the name for the ACE DLL follows the MinGW convention, which itself resembles UNIX.

If you want static libs also, you may run:



The same rules for Win32 search of DLLs apply for MinGW. If you want to run some ACE programs from the MSYS shell, you may need to add the directory for libACE.dll to your PATH:


// 得到文件libace.dll 于ACE_wrappers\lib中, 得到文件libace.dll.a 于ACE_wrappers\ace中.

ACEXML的单独编译:
% cd $ACE_ROOT/ACEXML
% make
完成后在ACE_wrappers\lib中得到libACEXML.dll和libACEXML_Parser.dll
在ACE_wrappers\ACEXML\common得到libACEXML.dll.a和libACEXML.dll , 在ACE_wrappers\ACEXML\parser\parser得到libACEXML_Parser.dll.a和libACEXML_Parser.dll

ssl单独编译:
% cd $ACE_ROOT/ace/ssl
% make ssl=1
需要安装openssl

ACE TESTS

The tests are located in $ACE_ROOT/tests. After building the library, you can change to that directory and run make:


Once you build all the tests, you can run

run_tests.pl

in the

tests

directory to try all the tests:


If you are using ACE as a DLL, you will need to modify your PATH variable as explained above.

You may want to check $ACE_ROOT/tests/README for the status of the various tests on MinGW and the different Windows flavors.
