The Console utilities primary purpose is to display the Inter-Process Communication output from the Simulator program and its utilities. The program reads the command structures in the ConsoleFrame::readNextFromClient(consoleframe.cpp) routine of the Console Utility. The following commands are implemented or planned:

  • ASSERT – implemented – example (src\simulator\main.cpp) Assert prints source file, line number and message. Assert will stop on the initial discovery, but can be overridden from the Console.
  • MESSAGE - implemented – example (src\simulator\main.cpp) Message prints the source file, line number and a message.
  • MEMORY – not implemented – Create memory statistics.

    PROFILE/PROFILE_START/PROFILE_STOP – implemented – example (src\simulator\main.cpp) Produces a min, max and average instruction counter(rdtsc) output (hex).

  • EXCEPTION – implemented – example (src\simulator\main.cpp) Exception prints source file, line number and a message. Exception reference the line number of the exception in the “catch” statement.

  • PLOT – not implemented – Will produce 2D or 3D graphics of a variable (time) or an array of variables.

  • DUMP – implemented – example (src\utilities\msts2blender\mstsace.cpp) Dump will print a variable ("sprintf" format) to the Console utility.

  • TWEAKER – implemented – example ( src/simulator/graphics.cpp )Allows simulator variables to be displayed and changed in real time. )

  • UNITTEST – implemented – UNITTEST is not a macro, but is implemented in vendor/cxxtest/cxxtest/TGConsoleGui.h. The source TGConsoleGui.h is used to tie cxxtest unit tests to the Console IPC. The TGConsoleGui GUI displays detail test results in a Console frame if the Console utility is running prior to the RUN_TEST project of the build system.

   
"Program Name" will generate a new Console window frame, (card box) with that title and "Page Name" will generate a new tab on that frame with "Page Name" for a title (card). Although the labels imply program and page name they my be any classification that will server to order the Console output.

OSRail is a network enabled railroad simulation game. The OSRail project intends to create an open source, network enabled, railroad simulation, that provides the same experience as a model railroad club operating session. The software created must build and run on both Linux and Windows.

  • make

  • sudo make install

  • sudo ldconfig

  • (sometimes required)

    1. cd ..

    2. sudo cp wxwin.m4 /usr/share/aclocal

Build CodeBlocks

Building OSRail under Linux with CodeBlocks

To build a CODEBLOCKS build under Linux, create a directory CODEBLOCKS in the "/branch/tag or trunk directory" and get a command prompt in the CODEBLOCKS sub-directory, type the command: "cmake -GCodeBlocks .. ". The cmake scripts will check that all 3rd party libraries are installed and build some required utilities for OSRail. The cmake script will create the workspace file OSRail.workspace.

Building OSRail under Linux with Make

To build a MAKE build under Linux, create a directory MAKE in the "/branch/tag or trunk directory" and get a command prompt in the MAKE sub-directory, type the command: "cmake .. ". The cmake scripts will check that all 3rd party libraries are installed and build some required utilities for OSRail. The cmake script will create Makefile. Run make in the MAKE sub-directory.
