An OSE installation supports libraries for different architectures. In order that the shared libraries for
your specific platform can be found by the Python module, you should ensure that the OSE_HOST var-
iable is set to the same value it was set to when OSE was installed. For example:
OSE_HOST=X86_LINUX
If you want to be able to run the "spyon" debugger, your PATH environment variable should include
the OSE bin directory. For OSE 7.0, if installed into its standard location, the directory will be:
/usr/local/ose/7.0/bin
If you want to be able to build up a version of the Python wrappers with a DLL for Win32, you have
two choices. The first requires you to have access to either the Cygnus Win32 toolkit or MKS toolkit,
and the Microsoft C++ compiler. In this case the normal build procedure for OSE is followed. If you
only have access to the Microsoft C++ compiler, a native makefile is provided with the source code in
the "win32" directory. You should follow the instructions contained in that directory.
Note that if you wish to use either the SOAP client or SOAP gateway, you will need to separately ob-
tain and install the "ZSI" package from the "pywebsvcs" project on SourceForge. The project site ad-
dress is "http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywebsvcs". You must have version 1.2 RC2 or later of the
ZSI package.
Additional Information
As the main Python module is a wrapper around functionality provided in the OSE C++ class libraries,
it may be worthwhile to also consult the manual pages for the corresponding classes in the C++ class
library and the general C++ class library manual. The behaviour of some features is controlled using
environment variables and not all of these may be mentioned in the manual for the Python modules.
