Been working with ACE 5.6 for some time and thought I'd take ACE 6.0
for a spin!  I noticed that there are no VC solution files for
building ACE as static libs rather than DLLs, unlike in past versions.

Is there an easy way to build these?  I noticed the docs on MPC but
haven't got around to learning this system yet - is there a simple
command line I could use with it if MPC will do the trick?  (Not
trying to be lazy, just trying to get into using ACE 6 as soon as!)

TIA for any help.

Sorry to be a pain but I couldn't get that to work - I'm not sure what
I'm doing wrong:

I installed ActivePerl and executed the mwc.pl in ACE_Wrappers\bin.
(I did define ACE_ROOT in the environment before running.)

Here's the output it gave me:

Using .../ACE 6.0.1/ACE_wrappers/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/MPC.cfg
CIAO_ROOT was used in the configuration file, but was not defined.
DANCE_ROOT was used in the configuration file, but was not defined.
Generating 'vc9' output using default input
Generation Time: 0s

I got a very strange file called PerlAce.sln?  I even tried going back
to the ACE 5.8 static sln files and using the MPC command line from
there (with changed directories) which at least gave me a file called
PerlACE_vc9_Static.sln instead!

(I downloaded Komodo in an attempt to debug the script but as I'm not
a Perl programmer some of what I saw escaped me...) I'm obviously
doing something crazy, just don't know what.

Thanks for your help so far

You need to run mwc.pl in the directory for which you want to have the
solutions, for example ACE_wrappers/ace
