In the unpacked sources, you will find a sample directory that contains the necessary sources. Please notice that 1/ you must be familiar with build processes involving Qt, 2/ the procedure below is given for Unix-like systems but may be easily transposed under Windows. text/html 2013-08-21T16:08:19+00:00 http://arcs.ibisc.univ-evry.fr/doku.php?id=arcs2:creating_a_component_library&rev=1377101299&do=diff Creating a component library For this tutorial, we will only work at creating native ARCS components.

The main idea is to develop components (pieces of reusable software), group them into component libraries and glue them at runtime using a specific engine. Since ARCS is also a framework, it means it introduces component and application models and gives tools to implement and use them. text/html 2013-09-11T16:29:14+00:00 http://arcs.ibisc.univ-evry.fr/doku.php?id=arcs2:special_components&rev=1378916954&do=diff Special components The ARCS engine comes with an internal component library. Some of them being useful, here are their description. statemachine statemachine components are naturally used in ARCS in order to control processes. They have an XML description and specific slots that triggers internal changes inside a process. text/html 2013-08-20T14:57:08+00:00 http://arcs.ibisc.univ-evry.fr/doku.php?id=arcs2:understanding_the_example_application_loop.xml&rev=1377010628&do=diff Understanding the example application loop.xml In the previous tutorial, we have seen how to compile the sample library and how to execute an application related to it, namely the application described in file loop.xml.
