Re: [tcf-dev] Adding value-add server
|
Hi Vladimir,
You're absolutely right that we need more documentation, here is the bug asking for better docs for the value-add:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=222819
In a nutshell, some of your confusion may come from the fact that in TCF services are relocatable between peers, so the C value-add and the agent are built from the same codebase. The Java and Python peers are also not restricted to being clients only, they can also play server or value-add for others. I'm not sure if we have any end-to-end example or use-cases for these at the moment though.
To build your C value-add on a Linux host, simply take the instructions from here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/TCF/Raspberry_Pi#Building_the_TCF_Agent
and you'll find them in agent/obj/GNU/Linux/x86_64/Debug/
- tcflog
- valueadd
Some information about tcflog and the value-add (and the C tools' commandline options in general) is on slide 53 of the 2009 TCF Tutorial:
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/tcf/documents/TCF_ECon09.ppt
There is also the folder "org.eclipse.tcf.agent/server" which I think is some infrastructure for a generic value-add (we use the "server" and "value-add" terms interchangeably). I'll have to defer to other committers for details here.
I've recently started an initiative to update our docs, so please continue asking questions, and let us know what specifically you're missing. We'll try our best to answer questions, and update docs as we go.
TCF Committers, please correct me if I'm wrong in any respect and support Vladimir.
Also, please continue updating our docs as we go - it does pay off for sure.
Getting bug 222819 resolved now should be straightforward based on the data that we're collecting here.
Who can take a stab at it ?
Thanks,
Martin

Subject: [tcf-dev] Adding value-add server
Hi,
from TCF wiki, one of the main stated goal is easily adding a value-adding server. However, I cannot find a tutorial for actually doing so? Does anybody have a guide, or example, of how I can accomplish this - assuming I have default agent on target and vanilla Eclipse on host?
Thanks in advance,
