I'm doing the classic build.
The only thing "weird" that I do is that, immediately after untaring the
ace+tao+ciao tar ball,
I touch *all* the files so that I can see what files get created or
touched. This has never been a problem
in the past (I have checked) and I've been a happy TAO user for five
years now.

Your assessment is correct... the PortableGroup_Simple_DS.idl file is
not getting processed by the idl compiler. The PortableGroup.idl file
does get processed ok.

If there's something you'd like me to try, please let me know.

I've touched the idl file in question and make failed as before
(starting from ACE_ROOT).
HOWEVER, if I run make manually in the orbsvcs/orbsvcs directory, it
DOES build.

I've rummaged through the make file in orbsvcs/orbsvcs and don't readily
see an issue.

Thanks for the assistance,
-Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Did you ever figure out what is going on here? Did you try
building TAO "as is" (i.e., without touching the files first) to see
if that makes a difference? J.T., does any of this make sense to you?

Thanks!

Doug

I've done this in the past for the same reason and had no issue. But I
will do so again and let you know.
