[tao-users] unable to build TAO under Windows using cygwin perl

[Sergey Onuchin]

Hello all,

 

I am using cygwin tools to build my project under Windows.

However when I try to build TAO 2.0.5, the following script fails:

 

cd ACE_wrappers

 

set ACE_ROOT=%CD%

set MPC_ROOT=%CD%/MPC

set TAO_ROOT=%CD%/TAO

set PATH=%CD%/lib;%PATH%

 

cd TAO

 

echo Creating project files....

echo debug=0 > %ACE_ROOT%\include\makeinclude\platform_macros.GNU

echo optimize=1 >> %ACE_ROOT%\include\makeinclude\platform_macros.GNU

perl ../MPC/mwc.pl -type vc8 TAO_ACE.mwc

 

 

 

>>>> giving this error:

 

 

Generating 'vc8' output using TAO_ACE.mwc

ace_xtreactor.mpc: line 4:

ERROR: Unable to locate parent: ace_xt

TAO_ACE.mwc: line 24:

ERROR: Unable to process ../ace/XtReactor/ace_xtreactor.mpc

ERROR: Unable to process: TAO_ACE.mwc

 

 

Perl version is the following

C:\_work\ace_tao>perl -v

 

This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for i686-cygwin-thread-multi-64int

(with 12 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

…

 

 

Please advise. Installing ActiveState perl is not a great option, as large system already depends on cygwin perl.

Hi Sergey,

I think the MPC system is intended to work with ActiveState perl. If you can enhance it to work with cygwin perl and submoit the patches to OCI that would be great.

Thanks,

Doug

We as Remedy IT only use ActivePerl on Windows, we did some quick
experiments in the past with Cygwin perl and came to the conclusion that
it doesn't work. If you can create patches to add support, that would be
great.
