Hi,
 
Thanks for using the PRF form. Yes, you are right, this is a bug inthe
packages. Someone manually made changes to the packages because of errors in
the release script and this package was created wrong as source only
package. We are working hard on getting everything in for the x.5.10 release
which is schedule to be the last beta (or micro release like I call it) for
the x.5 version, the next release after that will be x.6. 
 
Johnny

Subject: [ace-bugs] The ACE.tar.gz file lacks files for autoconf



    ACE VERSION: 5.5.9

    HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
       Linux Fedora 6
 
    TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST:
     same

    COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL):
    g++ 4.1.1
 
    THE $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h FILE 
 
    THE $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU FILE 
 
    CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features
    
    AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED:
    Configure with autoconf 
 
    DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
        COMPILATION? Yes
        LINKING? No
            On Unix systems, did you run make realclean first? No
        EXECUTION? No
        OTHER (please specify)?
 
 
    SYNOPSIS:
The ACE.tar.gz file downloaded from http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/
lacks the configure file and and other files, which exists in the
ACE.tar.bz2 file from same site. 
 
 
    DESCRIPTION:
The 2 tar files above are different. One thing that is affected is the
configure with autoconf, which can not be run according to instructions. (
create a build directory and run the configure script ) . One needs to
create the configure script first from the configure.ac
<http://configure.ac/>  file . 
It is working fine with the ACE.tar.bz2 file.
Please see comparison below for other differences between the ACE.tar.gz
file and the ACE.tar.bz2 file.

    REPEAT BY:
    Download the ACE.tar.gz file , and perform the instructions according to
http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/DOC_ROOT/ACE/ACE-INSTALL.html#unix_au
toconf
<http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~schmidt/DOC_ROOT/ACE/ACE-INSTALL.html#unix_a
utoconf> 
    The configure will not run , because it doesn't exists.

 
    SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:
 
   Work with the ACE.tar.bz2 file .
