[tao-users] Can't build anything
Andrew Troschinetz
Once extracted, I tried following the build instructions from the
website and was met with only errors.
1. Building ACE:
$ export ACE_ROOT=/path/to/ACE_wrappers
$ cd $ACE_ROOT/ace
$ make
I get 701 lines of errors, here's some:
1. I get conflicting declaration 'typedef in ssize_t' from lots of
files.
2. ace/config.h: No such file or directory
3. declaration of C function 'int sigwait(sigset_t*)' conflicts with
previous declaration...
4. Tons more conflicting declarations
5. Redefinition errors
6. Final error is gmake[1]: *** [.shobj/Name_Proxy.o] Error 1
RHEL4 here on a x86_64 machine, nothing special.
2. Building $ACE_ROOT/apps/gperf/src:
Won't compile b/c there's "no rule to make target /path/to/
ACE_wrappers//include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU'. Stop."
3. executing make in the $TAO_ROOT directory:
Lots of errors about missing files, libraries, etc...
Obviously something MAJOR is completely messed up. What gives? I
followed the instructions on the website to the letter.

Part of the steps listed include creating config.h and
platform_macros.GNU. See the section "Using the Traditional ACE/GNU
Configuration" in the ACE-INSTALL.html document (this lives in $ACE_ROOT
in the distribution) and the TAO FAQ:

It looks like you haven't build the TAO IDL compiler. Make sure you do
that before trying to build other tests. BTW, there are also
precompiled versions of ACE+TAO you can purchase at nominal costs from
the various vendors listed at
http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/support.html
so you might want to go this route if you're having problems.
Thanks,
Doug

What you might want to do is go back to where you typed "make", and do
"make depend" first. This will generate dependencies locally.
Off the top of my head, general steps to build on make-based platforms
are:
1. unpack ACE/TAO/CIAO and MPC
2. set up config.h and platform_macros.GNU
3. set up environment variables
4. run mwc.pl on $TAO_ROOT/TAO_ACE.mwc
5. make depend
6. make

I'm not trying to build any of the tests, I'm just trying to build/
install TAO. Shouldn't be too hard (I imagine).

Right - you just need to make sure you do things in the proper order, e.g.:
. Build ACE
. Build GPERF (optional)
. Build TAO
. Build TAO IDL
. Build TAO's Object Services
before you try to run the tests, etc.
Thanks,
Doug

created (Came packaged in the tgz).
I just tried this:
$ cd $TAO_ROOT
$ $ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl -type gnuace TAO_ACE.mwc
$ make depend
$ make
And things seem to be going along smoothly. Thanks!

I haven't built from anything other than out of the repo in quite
awhile, so I honestly don't know.

Great!

Just to let y'all know, that was probably the most responsive and
helpful mailing list experience I've ever had. While I may not be
looking forward to working with CORBA extensively in the future, I'm
glad I stumbled upon TAO early-on.
Andrew Troschinetz

Well Chris,
It's significantly complicated for one thing. I get the impression
that the OMG never asked the people who were to use CORBA about what
they wanted before the went ahead and made the specification.
Also, this project has just been dumped on my head and I've got no
previous experience with either CORBA or LDAP (which this project will
also be using extensively). Not to mention the fact that I think the
goals of the project are misguided.
I've been tasked with replacing all bare calls to functions that write/
read to/from the disk with an interface that will handle that
functionality for us. That is, someone on some committee somewhere
decided that fopen()/fwrite()/fread() was just "too unmaintainable"
and tasked someone with creating this gargantuan CORBA/LDAP
application that now we have to interface with to get anything done.
Of course this CORBA/LDAP software was created out of shop so not only
do I have to learn CORBA and LDAP double time, but I also have to deal
with a mountain of Other Peoples' Code.
Fun times,
Ken Sedgwick

Andrew,
I believe that the source RPM here will build on RHEL4:
http://dist.bonsai.com/ken/ace_tao_rpm/index.html
There is a primer for building from source RPM here:
http://www.bonsai.com/wiki/index.php/Building_from_Source_RPM
In general, building from source rpm is very predicable.
Please let me know if you try this and have any problems.
Ken

Fantastic! I encountered no problems what so ever.
I did get some warnings when installing the srpm though:
warning: ace-tao-5.6.3-1.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID
3f3f9640
warning: user ksedgwic does not exist - using root
warning: group ksedgwic does not exist - using root
