[tao-users] TAO, problems building on vc8, fatal error missing file.

[Nick.A...@generaldynamics.uk.com]

Hi All.

I'm trying to build ACE and TAO on visual studio 2005. ACE builds fine
however there seems to be some problem finding files when building TAO
as I'm getting fatal error, can't find file messages from the compiler.
I guess I've missed a directive in the config.h file or messed up one of
my environment variables.

Here's the problem report form.
TAO VERSION: 1.6.8
ACE VERSION: 5.6.8

HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows xP pro, twin core Intel 4
gb RAM.
If on Windows based OS's, which version of WINSOCK do you
use?: 2

TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST: same.
COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL): vc8 (2005) SP1.

THE $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h FILE [if you use a link to a platform-
specific file, simply state which one]:

#define ACE_DISABLE_WIN32_INCREASE_PRIORITY
#define ACE_DISABLE_WIN32_ERROR_WINDOWS
#define ACE_HAS_INTERCEPTORS 0
#include "ace/config-win32.h"

CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features
(used by MPC when you generate your own makefiles):
I'm using the pre-generated workspace files.

AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED: TAO.dll failed to compile.

DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
COMPILATION? Yes.
If so, what do your $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h and
$ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU contain?
See above.

LINKING? NO.
On Unix systems, did you run make realclean first?
EXECUTION? No
OTHER (please specify)?

SYNOPSIS:
When building TAO.dll (problems effect other projects in the work space
but I think it's all related) it doesn't look like TAO_idl has generated
the cpp files for the IDL files passed in.

DESCRIPTION:
When building the TAO.dll in debug I get the following output.

REPEAT BY:
Downloaded the latest zip file.
Unzipped it.
Set my environment variables to:

Wrote my config.h file.
Built ace.
Attempted to build tao.

Any ideas greatfully received.

Hi,

Can you try to run tao_idl manually? Is ACE_ROOT/lib in your path and can
then tao_idl be executed?

Johnny

Hi All.

Looks like I've got this one sorted.
My thanks to johny. He suggested starting again from scratch. I checked
my system including the path and environment variables and it looked
like there was some settings pointing at an older version of TAO which
was compiled on my box. Once I set these properly TAO built fine.

Thanks.
Nick.

Hi All.

[darwink...@gmail.com]

Hello Nick Adamson & Friends,

Could you please share the steps you followed to run ACE+TAO in Visual Studio.

After verifying C:\ACE_wrappers\TAO directory there are no any of the following files. Were they renamed or deprecated?

Cannot open include file: 'tao/PortableServer/PortableServerC.h': No such file
or directory

C:\ACE_wrappers\TAO\orbsvcs\orbsvcs/Notify/PropertySeq.h(22): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'orbsvcs/CosNotificationC.h': No such file or directory

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'tao/RTScheduling/RTSchedulerC.h': No such file or directory

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'orbsvcs/PortableGroupC.h'

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'orbsvcs/FT_ReplicationManagerS.h': No such file or directory


Many thanks!

Hi,

It looks the TAO IDL compiler hasn't run, have you compiled it? Maybe the free CORBA Programmers Guide will help, you can download it for free from https://www.remedy.nl/opensource/corbapg.html
