Thread: Create and Deploy NEW C++ Symphony Applications

It may appear silly. But it took me quite a while to figure out how to DEPLOY a NEW C++ Symphony App (The Eclipse tutorials in Symphony Docs give you fairly good idea how to write and deploy a Java App) . So, I thought I will share it with others in simple terms.

I assume that you have already installed SymphonyDE and it is all set to run in your machine ( I use RHEL5).

1. use 'soamstartup' command to start SymphonyDE (refer, Symphony Docs to reach up here )
2. copy and paste the SampleApplicationCPP folder (Usually it is here: /opt/symphonyDE/DE40/4.0/samples/CPP/SampleApp)to the place where you want your application to run from (Eg. /home/user/CPPworkspace)
3. To begin with, modify that SampleApplicationCPP and create your own 'NEW' application
4. Change to '/home/user/CPPworkspace/SampleApp'. In order to compile, you need to slightly modify the Makefiles
5. Change the 'TOP' of EACH Makefile (there are 3 or 4) to TOP = $(SYMDE_TOP)
6. Now do the following commands in the Terminal you started symphony: export SYMDE_TOP=/directory/to/symphonyDE/4.0 (eg: /opt/symphonyDE/DE/4.0)
7. export SOAM_LIBDIR=$SYMDE_TOP/$ARCH_BUILD/lib (Eg: /opt/symphonyDE/DE/4.0/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86/lib)
8. Then follow the 'Readme' of 'Logging' in 'Application Samples' of Platform Knowledge Centre (PKC) at Platform Knowledge Center to make, deploy and run the application
9. Now you should be running your NEW C++ Symphony application

Thanks for posting the instructions on how to move your source directory on Linux.

For step 5, instead of creating a new variable SYMDE_TOP, you can use TOP = $(SOAM_HOME)/4.0

SOAM_HOME is set when you source your environment.

To change > TOP = $(SOAM_HOME)/4.0

is a good suggestion. Thanks for that tip.
