Configuration of BES Modules

Under construction 11/20/14

Use the 'modules' branch of 'bes'

For each module to be added:

• check it out in the bes/modules dir using "submodule add <github repo>"
• Add it to modules/Makefile.am
• Hack the module's Makefile.am so that CPPFLAGS and LIBADD reference the correct places given that the code will build w/o bes first being installed

if DAP_MODULES
AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/dispatch -I$(top_srcdir)/dap $(DAP_CFLAGS)
LIBADD = $(DAP_SERVER_LIBS) $(DAP_CLIENT_LIBS)
else
AM_CPPFLAGS = $(BES_CPPFLAGS) # or wahtever was set here or in ..._CPPFLAGS
LIBADD = $(BES_DAP_LIBS)      # and ..._LIBADD
endif

then

# comment this out to force use of AM_CPPFLAGS libcsv_module_la_CPPFLAGS = ...
libcsv_module_la_LIBADD = $(LIBADD)

• For unit-test code you may need to add some of the bes code to the link line. To do that, use the shell variables:
  • BES_DISPATCH_LIB
  • BES_XML_CMD_LIB
  • BES_PPT_LIB
  • BES_EXTRA_LIBS

where you almost certainly want to use $BES_DISPATCH_LIB $BES_EXTRA_LIBS

• Add "AM_CONDITIONAL([DAP_MODULES], [false])" to the modules configure.ac
• Add files to be build by configure:

    modules/dap-server/Makefile
    modules/dap-server/asciival/Makefile
    modules/dap-server/asciival/unit-tests/Makefile
    modules/dap-server/asciival/unit-tests/test_config.h
    modules/dap-server/www-interface/Makefile])
    AC_CONFIG_FILES([modules/dap-server/www-interface/js2h.pl], [chmod +x modules/dap-server/www-interface/js2h.pl])

using the trusty cut and paste and prefixing them all with 'modules/'

• autotest tests are special...
• Scan the module's configure.ac and transfer any tests the Makefile.am will need to the bes' configure.ac
