Hi - I appear to have "no such file or directory" problems when tryng
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

    SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND: N/A

Since you're using OCI's version of TAO I recommend sending your
questions to taosupport@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

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

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.

Doug, Adam, Johnny -

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,
- Paulito
