Source code Tango distribution

You can download a Tango source code release (release 7.1.1) from this WEB page. It is based on autoconf for Unix. It has been tested on various flavours of Linux (Suse, RedHat and Debian) and Solaris 10. Your feedback will be appreciated. The source distribution does not contain omniORB and omniNotify. Tango release 7.1 was tested with omniORB-4.1.4 and omniNotify-2.1.

There is a warning for omniNotify if you want to run it on a Linux based 64 bits computer. Its release 2.1 is not 64 bits compatible. To have a 64 bits ready release, you have to get the package from the branch named omniNotify_develop. On top of that, you also have to apply the patch provided by one community member.

Tango bindings

 

 

 

  • LabVIEW  (LabVIEW Web Site)
    • Release 1.5.1 for LabVIEW 8.6
    • Requires Tango 6.1 or later
    • Binary distribution for Windows
      • comes with all required libraries except the MS Visual C++ 8 runtime dlls (available here)
    • Source code distribution
      • this binding works like a charm under Linux (tested under RHE Linux 4). However, the current Linux version of LabVIEW has been compiled with an antediluvian <libstdc++ 5> based gcc compiler. Therefore, for binary compatibility reasons, the binding and whole Tango software chain must be compiled with gcc < 3.3.x. Recommended version is 3.2.3. It's a shame, isn't it?
