Can you please give the exact list of commands that you used to create
Makefiles?   Are you still using SuSE (from your original PRF) or have you
switched to using Windows?  All talk about *d and DLL et al doesn't make
sense on SuSE.  How did you generate the MPC file for your components?  Did
you use $ACE_ROOT/bin/generate_component_mpc.pl or did you write it by
hand?

Given a component Foo, you should have the following libraries under
$ACE_ROOT/lib:

Windows (Debug)

Foo_execd.dll
Foo_svntd.dll
Foo_stubd.dll

Windows (Release)

Foo_exec.dll
Foo_svnt.dll
Foo_stub.dll

Linux (Both Debug and Release)

libFoo_exec.so.0.5.8
libFoo_svnt.so.0.5.8
libFoo_stub.so.0.5.8

If you don't have these libraries, then you have a problem.  Assuming you
do have these libraries, make sure that you enter Foo_exec in the location
field in CoSMIC corresponding to the Foo_Exec ImplementationArtifact.  BTW,
please also make sure that you do File->Check->Check All to check all the
constraints before you generate a deployment plan using CoSMIC.

Please don't do any of these tricks.  It becomes a nightmare to track down
the problems.  Either keep separate workspaces or use the
$ACE_ROOT/bin/create_ace_build.pl to create multiple build configurations
with the same source tree.

Your using -type make to MPC is the problem.  You should use

$ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl -type gnuace <something.mwc>

to build CIAO on Linux.  And don't modify anything under
$ACE_ROOT/MPC/templates unless you know what you are doing.

Hope this helps.
