This guide will help you setup your developing environment for Protocol plug-in Manager and Protocol plug-ins in Ubuntu. 1. Preparings Before starting, following tools should be installed. Automake Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefile.in files compiliant with the GNU Coding Standards. This tool is used for compiling C-Pluff open source which used in Plug-in Manager. $ sudo apt-get install automake Libtool GNU libtool is a generic library support script. This tool is used for compiling C-Pluff open source which used in Plug-in Manager. $ sudo apt-get install libtool gettext GNU `gettext' utilities are a set of tools that provides a framework to help other GNU packages produce multi-lingual messages. This tool is used for compiling C-Pluff open source which used in Plug-in Manager. $ sudo apt-get install gettext Expat Expat is a stream-oriented XML parser library. This library is used for compiling C-Pluff open source which used in Plug-in Manager. $ sudo apt-get install expat Building and Using Protocol Plug-in Manager Once the source code is downloaded into a specific folder, oic in this context, you may follow the steps to build and execute Protocol Plug-in Manager. The path for Protocol Plugin is as following; ~/oic/oic-resource/service/protocol-plugin $_ The Protocol Plug-in directory includes following sub directories; /plugin-manager Directory for Plug-in Manager /plugins Directory for Reference Plugins /lib Directory for Common Library /sample-app Directory for Iotivity Sample Application /doc Directory for Developers Document /build Directory for Building and Binary Release If you build by scons skip 2,3. 2. Compiling C-Pluff library Before building Protocol-Plugin Manager, C-Pluff library should be compiled as follows. ~/service/protocol-plugin/lib/cpluff$ aclocal ~/service/protocol-plugin/lib/cpluff$ autoconf ~/service/protocol-plugin/lib/cpluff$ autoheader ~/service/protocol-plugin/lib/cpluff$ automake ~/service/protocol-plugin/lib/cpluff$ ./configure ~/service/protocol-plugin/lib/cpluff$ make 3. Run make By running make in the protocol-plugin path, protocol-plugin manager, all plugins and sample applications will be created. NOTE: To build plugins in 64-bit Ubuntu Linux, OCLib.a and libcoap.a library should be re-compiled with ?fPIC option. ~/service/protocol-plugin/build/linux$make 4. Using Plugins This version of protocol plug-in source code has following functionality. 1) Provides plug-in manager which can start and stop plug-in library. 2) Provides plug-in library which can communicate with MQTT protocol Fan and Light. 3) Locate shared plug-in library and XML file in a specific folder. So, to test a plug-in, follow below steps. 1) Copy libpmimple.so from {Top_Dir}/out/linux/x86/release to sample-app folder. 2) Provides OIC Sample Client which can get info about Fan and Light with configuration file(pluginmanager.xml). 3) Copy the pluginmanager.xml from ~/service/protocol-plugin/sample-app/linux/mqtt/ to sample-app folder. 4) Modifty the pluginmanager.xml 5) Before starting sample app need as below command. $export LD_LIBRARY_PATH={Top_Dir}/out/linux/x86/release/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 6) Start the plug-in from plug-in manager sample. ex)~service/protocol-plugin/sample-app/linux/mqtt$./mqttclient (Need mqtt broker working in the local system(127.0.0.1) for test.)
