libACE library.  These subsets will include the
following libraries: 
 
libACE_OS -- This library contains the OS adaptation
layer and its supporting classes.  All other ACE libraries will depend
on libACE_OS and it will depend on no other ACE
libraries. 
 
libACE_Utils -- This library contains the various ACE
container classes and other miscellaneous classes, such as Singleton,
auto_ptr, timers, etc.  This library will depend only on
libACE_OS.
 
libACE_Logging -- This library contains the various ACE
logging and tracing classes.  This library will depend only on
libACE_OS. 
 
libACE_Threads -- This library contains the ACE
thread/process management and synchronization classes.  This library
will depend only on libACE_OS. 
 
libACE_Demux -- This library contains the ACE Reactor and
Proactor classes.  This library will depend on libACE_OS
and libACE_Thread. 
 
libACE_Connection -- This library contains the ACE
Connection components, i.e., Acceptor, Connector, and Svc_Handler.
This library will depend on libACE_OS,
libACE_Thread, and libACE_Demux.  
 
libACE_Sockets -- This library contains the ACE C++
wrappers for sockets.  This library will depend on
libACE_OS. 
 
libACE_IPC -- This library contains all the ACE C++
wrappers for the other types of IPC and FILE I/O other than sockets.
This library will depend on libACE_OS and
libACE_Sockets.  
 
libACE_Svcconf -- This library contains the ACE C++
wrappers for the Service Configurator.  This library will depend on
libACE_OS, libACE_Demux,
libACE_Thread, and libACE_Sockets.  
 
libACE_Streams -- This library contains the ACE Streams
classes.  This library will depend on libACE_OS,
libACE_Demux, and libACE_Thread.  
 
libACE_Memory -- This library contains the ACE C++
wrappers for shared memory and memory-mapped files.  This library will
depend on libACE_OS.
libACE_TAO, which contains
just the core set of components in ACE that are required to support
TAO.  This library is targeted at embedded systems developers who want
to minimize the footprint of ACE+TAO.  We are also planning to support
the OMG's Minimum
CORBA specification as part of a separate effort.  Preliminary
results of prototypes for Minimum CORBA we've integrate to TAO have
been very promising, yielding a 40% reduction in ORB footprint. Note that the ACE library subsets described above are intended as a guideline, not a complete specification. The actual partitioning of files in the final ACE library subsets may differ somewhat to improve footprint and simplify common use-cases.

ACE_COMPONENTS variable using one of these approaches:
$(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU
    file, e.g., add:
    ACE_COMPONENTS = OS
make ACE_COMPONENTS=OS
ACE_COMPONENTS environment variable
    to contain the components that you want to build.
Please see ../ace/Makefile
for the default contents of ACE_COMPONENTS.
A special value of ACE_COMPONENTS can be used to
build an ACE library that supports
TAO.  The
special value is FOR_TAO.  So, for example, you can
add this to your
$(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU
to restrict ACE support to just that which is needed for TAO:
ACE_COMPONENTS = FOR_TAO
Please note the current limitations:
OS, you
    must explicitly include OS in your
    ACE_COMPONENTS.
OS, is also called the
ACE_OS adaption layer.  It provides the ACE interface to
the underlying operating system, but little else.  It can be used
standalone.
To create the ACE_OS adaptation layer, build your libACE
with ACE_COMPONENTS set to OS.  In addition,
add #include "ace/config-minimal.h" to your
ACE_wrappers/ace/config.h file.
When using the ACE_OS adaptation layer, you'll be limited to the
the ACE_OS member functions, ACE's
Basic_Types and
Sched_Params, and macros defined in
ace/OS.h.  See ACE's
Basic_Types_Test.cpp
for an example of usage.
