Role Name

Install Zeroc Ice.

On Ubuntu this only installs the Ice binaries and required libraries under /opt/ice/bin (note this is a symlink).

Role Variables

Optional (expert users only):

• ice_install_devel: Install Ice development packages, default True
• ice_install_python: Install Ice Python globally, default True, ignored on Ubuntu and CentOS 8 (always False)
• ice_python_wheel: URL to a python wheel package to be installed, ignored on Ubuntu and CentOS 8. You can use this to provide a precompiled ice-py package for 3.6 as an alternative to automatically compiling from the source package.
• ice_binaries_symlink_dest: Symlink the Ice binaries required by OMERO into this directory e.g. /usr/local/bin (Ubuntu and CentOS 8 only, must exist, if empty don't create symlinks)

Notes

Note that 3.6 requires ice-python to be installed using pip, and will result in the installation of several development tools and libraries unless ice_python_wheel is provided.
