Authors
Siena is the result of work by: Antonio Carzaniga, David S. Rosenblum, and Alexander L. Wolf.
We thank Dennis Heimbigner, Richard S. Hall, and André van der Hoek of the Software Engineering Research Laboratory, University of Colorado at Boulder, and Giampaolo Cugola, Elisabetta Di Nitto, and Alfonso Fuggetta of Politecnico di Milano for their contributions to this work.
Installation
To install Siena from a binary distribution, simply unpack
siena-?.?-?.tar.gz in a convenient directory. If you are installing
the Siena API from sources, you should follow these instructions.
How to Compile a Siena Application Written in C++
You can find the code of a simple interested party programmed in C++
in interested_party.cc
. A
simple object of insterest (object_of_interest.cc
)
is also available.
Assuming you install the Siena API in /tools/siena
, you
can compile these programs with the following command:
c++ -I/tools/siena/include -L/tools/siena/lib -lsiena \
interested_party.cc -o interested_party
Notice that, depending on your system, you might need to link
additional libraries, for example under Solaris you should add
-lsocket -lnsl
.
