[openamq-dev] porting to Ubuntu

[Nick Levine]

Hi Martin,

   I'd like to understand better what's special about this case that's
   causing WireAPI to hang.

I don't know whether the following is relevant. The system I'm working
with can only link with shared libraries. After building OpenAMQ, I
went on to link the archives in ibase/lib thus:

  ld -shared -o libamq.so -luuid -lm -whole-archive libamq_common.a  \
    libamq_operate.a libamq_server.a libamq_wireapi.a libapr.a \
    libaprutil.a libasl.a libicl.a libipr.a libpcre.a libsfl.a libsmt3.a \
    libsmt.a libzip.a /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 /usr/lib/libcrypt.a

   A couple of questions:

   1) What version of Ubuntu is this? What platform? (uname -m)

uname -m => "i686"
uname -r => "2.6.20-15-generic"

   2) Is this a multiprocessor or multicore system? If yes, how many
      cores?

I don't know. Machine isn't mine, it's remote to me (I access it via
ssh). What's the incantation for finding out?

   3) What version of GCC are you using? Also the output of
   "amq_server -v" might be helpful just to check that the build
   system hasn't done something silly.

gcc --version => 4.1.2

amq_server -v =>
  OpenAMQ/1.2c1 - revision 10266

   4) Does our standard client code work correctly? e.g. Can you run
   "amq_server" and "amq_client" with no parameters against it?

Yes, and amq_shell

   5) Since you previously asked about the thread safety of WireAPI, are
   you accessing WireAPI from more than one application thread?

Not at present.
