Yes, try the build process you described. Sorry I didn't communicate that
very well before.
Note that when we build STAF for all the Unix operating systems for which
we provide binaries, we run the entire STAF build process natively on each
operating system, so I don't know for sure that this will work, but you
definitely need to build the codepage files (e.g. run ucm2bin on each .ucm
file) on the target operating system.
You might find it helpful to look at the STAX job we use to build STAF for
all operating systems (in src/staf/autobuild/BuildSTAF.xml) and its
"BuildWinAMD64-CodepageFiles" function which is responsible for building
the codepage files for the WinAMD64 platform (as we currently don't build
the rest of STAF for the WinAMD64 platform on the Windows 32-bit build
machine).

STAF
To make sure I understood correctly, I can build ucm2bin together with the
rest of STAF source on the host machine for the target but I need to run
the native ucm2bin on the target to convert the codepage files, and then
move the converted codepage files back to host for packaging, correct?

The STAF codepage code has to be run on the target platform (i.e. be

non-STAF codepage code on Windows 32-bit with compile flags for 64-bit,
but we have to compile the STAF codepage code on Windows 64-bit and then
our build process transfers the ucm2bin executable to the 32-bit Windows
build machine for packaging. We build STAF on each of the target Unix
platforms.

Subject: [staf-users] Codepage problems with cross-compiled STAF
Hi,
I have cross-compiled (only the basic stuff -- PROJECTS="staf connprov*")
STAF 3.4.3 for 2 embedded linux-based platforms that run off of
Freescale MPC5121 and Intel Atom respectively. When building, I
encountered problems when the ucm2bin application was executed as it was
built for the target platform and couldn't run on the building host. I
disabled the codepage conversion and ucm2bin building by renaming the
makefile in /codepage and STAF built successfully, I just made sure that
the alias.txt file was present in the packaged version and all was well --
STAF was working on both paltforms.
We use the QUEUE service a lot in our lab for communication between
different test nodes and lately we have developed the need to send
messages that contain non-ASCII characters. It works okay if we send the
messages between linux pc-s but if I try to send something like this: STAF
target QUEUE QUEUE MESSAGE
"<cmd_msg><cmd>TestMessage</cmd><arglist><arg>Fiskemenu: Rødspætter og
å</arg></arglist></cmd_msg>" NAME test_handle, I get the following on the
other end:
STAF local QUEUE LIST HANDLE 29

<cmd>TestMessage</cmd><arglis
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'STAFException'
.95@6550 Aborted
It seems to be somehow related to the missing codepages. Maybe STAF is
trying to convert the exotic characters but the codepage it tries to
access isn't there so it throws an exception, or something like that. The
question is, can I add support for different character sets after I have
built STAF by manually running ucm2bin and moving the resulting files in
the correct directory or does this have to happen at build time? Also, are
the .bin files created by ucm2bin platform-specific, ie. can I use ucm2bin
built for my linux pc to convert files for the Freescale device or does
each platform require its own natively built ucm2bin?
Thanks,
Erik
