1 - Introduction
|
|
-----------------
|
|
The OpenSLP project is an effort to develop an open-source implementation of
|
|
Service Location Protocol suitable for commercial and non-commercial
|
|
application.
|
|
|
|
OpenSLP 1.3.0 is a develper release of the cutting edge OpenSLP code. If you
|
|
are looking for a stable release, you should download the latest revision of
|
|
the 1.2.x series.
|
|
|
|
OpenSLP 1.2.1 is the second release of the 1.2.x series. This release contains
|
|
several bug fixes - mostly accumlated through the efforts of the SuSE team in
|
|
Germany. However, others have contributed as well over time.
|
|
|
|
Known Issues:
|
|
|
|
- This code works on Linux and Windows, but has not been thoroughly tested
|
|
on Solaris or other platforms. Please help out in this respect. Please
|
|
feel free to send patches for your OS directly to me or to the
|
|
openslp-devel@sourceforge.net mailing list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 - Roadmap
|
|
------------
|
|
For more information about the roadmap for OpenSLP 1.2.x please take a look at
|
|
|
|
http://www.openslp.org/roadmap.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
3 - Building OpenSLP
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Building OpenSLP requires the proper installation of automake, autoconf and
|
|
libtool. To build OpenSLP please use the following steps:
|
|
|
|
- Unzip and untar the openslp-x.x.x.tar.gz tarball.
|
|
|
|
$ tar -zxf openslp-x.x.x.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
- Run the autogen.sh script to generate configure script. Do not be
|
|
alarmed if the autogen script prints a few errors. Try the resulting
|
|
configure (next step) script anyway. If the ./configure script already
|
|
exists, skip running ./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
$ cd openslp-x.x.x
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
- Run the configure script to create openslp make files. Please note that
|
|
the configure script accepts several --enable-xxxx and --disable-xxxx
|
|
options that should be interesting to you. Run ./configure --help and
|
|
read the details of each of these switches. If the configure
|
|
script fails... now you have a problem.
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --help
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
- Run the top level make file (you need to use GNU make)
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
- If the make is successful, look for the following binaries:
|
|
|
|
slpd/slpd
|
|
libslp/.libs/libslp.so
|
|
test/.libs/*
|
|
|
|
|
|
4 - Installing OpenSLP
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
To install OpenSLP make the install target in the top level make file
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
Installation of OpenSLP creates the following files:
|
|
|
|
/usr/sbin/slpd
|
|
/usr/lib/libslp.so.x.x (and several appropriate links)
|
|
/usr/lib/libslp.a
|
|
/etc/slp.conf (old slp.conf is renamed)
|
|
/etc/slp.reg (old slp.reg is renamed)
|
|
|
|
|
|
5 - OpenSLP Users Guide
|
|
------------------------
|
|
Rather than be repetitive in this document, the reader is refered to a fairly
|
|
complete OpenSLP users guide that is available in the doc/html directory
|
|
of the OpenSLP distribution or on the web at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.openslp.org/doc/html/UsersGuide
|
|
|
|
The OpenSLp users guide gives instruction on how network and system
|
|
administrators should configure and use OpenSLP once it is installed
|
|
|
|
|
|
6 - OpenSLP Programmers Guide
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Again, to avoid repetition, the reader is refered to a the Programmers Guide
|
|
available in the doc/html directory of the OpenSLP distribution or on the web
|
|
at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.openslp.org/doc/html/ProgrammersGuide
