Paulito
to build ACE/TAO ver 1.6a, below is the PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM info...can
anyone advise?
thanks
TAO VERSION: 1.6a_p7
HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM: 32-bit Windows XP
TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST:
Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.21022.8.RTM
CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h #include "ace\config-win32.h"
CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU [if
you
use a link to a platform-specific file, simply state which one
(unless this isn't used in this case, e.g., with Microsoft Visual
C++)]: N/A
CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/
default.features
(used by MPC when you generate your own makefiles):
N/A file does not exist
LEVEL OF URGENCY (LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH): MEDIUM
AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED: several src, hdr files not present;
build fails. For example:
tao/orb_typesC.h
tao/IOPC.h
.\ServicesC.cpp
.\UShortSeqC.cpp
DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
COMPILATION?
LINKING?
On Unix systems, did you run make realclean first?
EXECUTION?
OTHER (please specify)?
[Please indicate whether ACE/TAO, your application, or both are
affected.]
Compilation. According to the instructions:
TAO_ACE_vc9.sln is opened in Visual Studio;
Build->Build Solution is invoked
SYNOPSIS:
Visual Studio 2008 solution file does not build
DESCRIPTION:
Visual Studio 2008 solution file does not build.
Following the instructions described in
http://theaceorb.com/faq/index.html#HowToBuildACEandTAOonWindows
according to step (5) the TAO_ACE_vc9.sln is used;
build fails as described above.
Also tried step (7) to build a new SLN file; that failed the
same
way.
REPEAT BY: Following the build instructions for MS Visual Studio
2008

Since you're using OCI's version of TAO I recommend sending your
questions to taosu...@ociweb.com since they provide excellent
commercial support for their releases of TAO. Naturally, we encourage
and appreciate other members of the ACE+TAO user community who can
respond to questions about the OCI release if they have the answers.
You may also want to consider upgrading to ACE+TAO+CIAO x.7.7 (i.e.,
ACE 5.7.7, TAO 1.7.7, and CIAO 0.7.7), which you can download from
http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu
under the heading: "Latest Micro Release Kit".
The DOC group at Vanderbilt University only provides "best effort"
support for non-sponsors for the latest release, as described in
http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/DOC_ROOT/ACE/docs/ACE-bug-process.html
Thus, if you need more "predictable" help for earlier versions of
ACE+TAO, I recommend that you check out
http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/support.html
for a list of companies that will provide you with ACE+TAO commercial
support.
Thanks,
Doug

These are files that are generated as part of the build process (by
tao_idl.exe). Take a look at the build output and see if you can find
out why it's not running correctly.

Make sure your ACE_ROOT, TAO_ROOT, and PATH environment settings are
visible to the Visual Studio instance.
I tend to do things from the command line instead of the GUI, here are
the exact steps I used to build:
(start with a "Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt" so devenv is on the PATH)
wget
http://download.ociweb.com/TAO-1.6a/ACE+TAO-1.6a_with_latest_patches.zip
unzip ACE+TAO-1.6a_with_latest_patches.zip
cd ACE_wrappers
set ACE_ROOT=%CD%
set TAO_ROOT=%ACE_ROOT%\TAO
set PATH=%ACE_ROOT%\bin;%ACE_ROOT%\lib;%PATH%
echo #include "ace/config-win32.h"> ace\config.h
devenv TAO\TAO_ACE_vc9.sln /build Debug

Hi Paulito,

Great - make sure that you use ACE+TAO+CIAO x.7.7 (i.e., ACE 5.7.7, TAO 1.7.7, and CIAO
0.7.7), which you can download from
http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu
under the heading: "Latest Micro Release Kit."
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Paulito,

You are correct - the latest ACE "micro release" (which is what you should
download) is 5.7.8.
Thanks!

Hi,
The files you lack are generated by TAO_IDL, make sure TAO_IDL is
compiled and ACE_wrappers/lib is in your path, it can be that there is a
problem executing tao_idl.

Thanks for the advice
As suggested, command line build of OCI archive works;
I'll verify Vanderbilt will work as well;
root cause is most likely env var problem or Visual Studio usage due
to PBKAC (Problem Between Keyboard And Chair)
Cheers,
