RE: SLP configuration issue

PEGASUS_USE_OPENSLP is depreciated. See the comment in config.mak below.

# PEGASUS_USE_OPENSLP

## NOTE: This variable has been deprecated and superceeded by the use of
## PEGASUS_USE_EXTERNAL_SLP. The use of this variable may be
## removed from Pegasus in future releases. It is converted to the
## PEGASUS_USE_EXTERNAL_SLP variable in the following function.

PEGASUS_USE_EXTERNAL_SLP is not mentioned in BuildReleaseOptions.htm and there is a bug for it.

I think this failure is expected as pegasus assumes SLP is running. See this comment in config.mak for PEGASUS_USE_EXTERNAL_SLP.

# Pegasus assumes that the external SLP defined is installed on the platform
# and running when pegasus is started.

The text were embedded and not visible easily
"We do not come across the  PEGASUS_EXTERNAL_SLP_HOME environment variable
in BuildAndReleaseOptions.html under the doc section.
Did you try with PEGASUS_OPENSLP_HOME values set properly?"

Hi All
I am building CIMOM with SLP enabled for windows platform.  I used the
following build options.

set PEGASUS_ENABLE_SLP=true
set PEGASUS_USE_OPENSLP=true
set
PEGASUS_EXTERNAL_SLP_HOME=C:/smis-op-provider/src/openslp-1.2.1/openslp-1.2.1/win32/libslp

We do not come across the  PEGASUS_EXTERNAL_SLP_HOME environment variable
in BuildAndReleaseOptions.html under the doc section.
Did you try with PEGASUS_OPENSLP_HOME values set properly?

While building I was not able to build SLPProvider.dll as it was not able
to link . I guess the make file was not correct for windows. So I changed
the make find as below.
---------
SOURCES = peg_slp_agent.cpp

include $(ROOT)/mak/library.mak

ifeq ($(OS_TYPE),windows)
    SYS_LIBS = ws2_32.lib advapi32.lib
    SYS_LIBS += /libpath:$(PEGASUS_EXTERNAL_SLP_HOME)/lib slp.lib  <ß This
is the line added to makefile for build to succeed.****
endif

run:
                Server $(REPOSITORY_ROOT)
-------------------
With this I am able to build CIMOM with slp enabled.
Now, If I start the CIMOM service when the SLP service is running .
Everything works just fine. The CIMOM registers to SLP and able to see the
ports of CIMOM service running  through slptool
But , If I start the CIMOM service when SLP service is not running  then  I
see the CIMOM service is stopping immediately . Wondering why CIMOM service
should stop if SLP is not running. I cannot send the traces as attachment
due to size limit.

      1.       Is this  makefile change required for building SLP on
      Windows platform? I  guess its working fine on Linux platforms.
      2.       Is it  mandatory to run SLP service if SLP is enabled in
      CIMOM? Or is it a bug in CIMOM on windows platform.


Thank in advance
Veeresh
