Compile the Sample-Server

Note: Tutorial for Visual Studio Code in doc\.vscode\RunOnWindows.md.

Get the files

Clone the GitHub repository using your preferred approach. This repository uses submodules, so be sure to clone them as well.

Standard option:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/umati/Sample-Server.git

CMake for the Sample-Server

The submodules are dependencies for the Sample-Server and have to be built and installed in advance. If possible on your system, execute the script initialbuild.sh, which calls cmake for all the submodules in the right order.

If this is not possible, execute the steps yourself. Starting in the Sample-Servers topmost directory (the one that contains initialbuild.sh) create a build directory, e.g.

mkdir build

Change to that directory

cd build

Call cmake with your preferred/installed generator and the properties

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="[Sample-Server-Dir]/install" ../.github/

with [Sample-Server-Dir] being the Sample-Servers topmost directory.

Command-line for this cmake call:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="[Sample-Server-Dir]/install" ../.github/

Generators that have worked in the past:

  • gcc
  • mingw
  • Visual Studio 2017 or newer

If the cmake buildsystem was generated successfully, you can compile the project using said build tool. Example for command-line using cmake:

cmake --build .

Run the server

The server executable can be found in [Sample-Server-Dir]/install/bin (the directory given to cmake with CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX). Depending on the generator, there may also be an executable in the build directory ([Sample-Server-Dir]/build/SampleServer-build). Given sufficient firewall permissions etc., this executable will start the server, listening on port 4840 for opc.tcp protocol.
