first draft of big integer support on driver base java
Apache PLC4X is an effort to create a set of libraries for communicating with industrial grade programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in a uniform way. We are planning on shipping libraries for usage in:
PLC4X also integrates with other Apache projects, such as:
Depending on the programming language, the usage will differ, therefore please go to the Getting Started on the PLC4X website to look up the language of choice.
NOTE: Currently the Java version which supports building of all parts of Apache PLC4X is at least Java 11
See the PLC4J user guide on the website to start using PLC4X in your Java application: https://plc4x.apache.org/users/getting-started/plc4j.html
Currently, the project is configured to require the following software:
JAVA_HOME configured to point to that.passive-mode driversWith this setup you will be able to build the Java part of PLC4X.
The build however does automatically run a prerequisite check and fail the build with an explanation, if not all requirements are meet.
For a full build of PLC4X with all options the following has to be provided:
On a clean Ubuntu 18.04 the following software needs to be installed:
sudo apt install python-setuptools gcc g++ make libpcap-dev
If you‘re building a source-distribution and haven’t installed git yet, be sure to do so:
sudo apt install git
In order to build the .Net version, please install the .Net package according to this guide:
https://dev.to/carlos487/installing-dotnet-core-in-ubuntu-1804-7lp
Make sure Homebrew is installed in order to update Bison to a newer version (the version 2.3 installed per default is too old)
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Then update Bison:
brew install bison
brew link bison --force
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/bison/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
Install Python 2.7:
brew install python@2
Be sure to re-open the command window or the changes will not apply.
If you're going to build the with-dotnet profile you also need to install DotNet. Please download it from: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download and run the installer.
LibPCAP is also installed via Homebrew:
brew install libpcap
Some tools need to be installed before being able to build on Windows:
with-cpp, with-proxies profiles)with-cpp profiles)with-cpp profiles)with-python, with-proxies profiles)with-dotnet profiles)We have tested WinBuilds with the bundle of: http://win-builds.org/doku.php/download_and_installation_from_windows Run the installer as “Administrator” or you won‘t be able to install it to every location. Please install it to a location, for which the path doesn’t contain any whitespaces. When running the installer, make sure to select the options:
WARNING: If you don't use the installer version of the distribution. The build will probably fail and it will be pretty impossible to see the problem. When manually executing the command, a popup will appear complaining about not being able to find some DLL. So if you are having these problems, please try using the installer instead of manually unpacking the archive.
For Bison, please download the Setup installer version from here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm (When using the zip version the bison.exe couldn‘t find some DLL files) It seems the official 2.4.1 version has issues when installed in a directory which’s path contains spaces. Please make sure you replace the exe with a patched version form here: http://marin.jb.free.fr/bison/bison-2.4.1-modified.zip (More infos on this issue here: https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuwin32/bugs/473/)
Please download the Flex compiler from here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/flex.htm (Ideally download the binary zip distribution)
You can get Python from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2716/
For .Net, you need the Developer Pack in order to build .Net applications. So be sure to get a reasonably fresh installation from https://dotnet.microsoft.com
If you‘re building a source-distribution and haven’t installed git yet, be sure to do so.
The Windows version of the PCAP library can be found here: https://npcap.com/ . Additional tasks to enable Java to find the pcap executables may need to be done. Follow the instructions here https://github.com/kaitoy/pcap4j#about-native-library-loading
Last not least we need to install OpenSSL, which is available from here: https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/ The letter at the end of the version is sort of a “sub-minor” version, so I usually just take the version with the highest letter.
Make sure the bin directories of containing the executables mingw32-make.exe, bison.exe and flex.exe are all on your systems PATH as well as the directory containing the openssl.exe.
If you don't want to bother setting up the environment on your normal system and you have Docker installed, you can also build everything in a Docker container:
docker build -t plc4x .
You must have at least Java 11 installed on your system and connectivity to Maven Central (for downloading external third party dependencies). Maven 3.6 is required to build, so be sure it's installed and available on your system.
NOTE: There is a convenience Maven-Wrapper installed in the repo, when used, this automatically downloads and installs Maven. If you want to use this, please use ./mvnw or mvnw instead of the normal mvn command.
NOTE: When running from sources-zip, the mvnw might not be executable on Mac or Linux. This can easily be fixed by running the following command in the directory.
$ chmod +x mvnw
NOTE: If you are working on a Windows system, please use mvnw.cmd instead of ./mvnw in the following build commands.
Build PLC4X Java jars and install them in your local maven repository
./mvnw install # add -DskipTests to omit running the tests
You can now construct Java applications that use PLC4X. The PLC4X examples are a good place to start and are available inside the plc4j/examples directory.
The Go drivers can be built by enabling the with-go profile:
./mvnw -P with-go install # add -DskipTests to omit running the tests
NOTE: The C++ build is considered experimental and currently not working properly.
The C++ drivers are still under development and still not really usable. Therefore, they are located in the so-called sandbox. Also does it rely on a library called, boost, which needs to also be built.
If you want to build them, this has to be enabled by activating the with-boost, with-sandbox and with-cpp maven profiles:
./mvnw -P with-boost,with-sandbox,with-cpp install # add -DskipTests to omit running the tests
The C# / .Net implementation is currently in a work in progress state. In order to be able to build the C# / .Net module, you currently need to activate the: with-sandbox and with-dotnet profiles.
./mvnw -P with-sandbox,with-dotnet install # add -DskipTests to omit running the tests
The Python implementation is currently in a somewhat unclean state and still needs refactoring. In order to be able to build the Python module, you currently need to activate the: with-sandbox and with-python profiles.
./mvnw -P with-sandbox,with-python install # add -DskipTests to omit running the tests
In order to build everything the following command should work:
./mvnw -P with-c,with-dotnet,with-go,with-python,with-sandbox install
