[Ace-users] [tao-users] TAO: Failed to compile on windows xp with Visual Studio 2005 as header files not found

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi Rong,

   Thanks for using the PRF.

> TAO VERSION: 1.5.4
> 
> ACE VERSION: 5.5.4

You are using an old version of ACE+TAO.  Please upgrade to ACE+TAO+CIAO
x.6.1 (i.e., ACE 5.6.1, TAO 1.6.1, and CIAO 0.6.1), which you can
download from

http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu

under the heading: "Latest Beta Kit."

The DOC groups at Washington University, UC Irvine, and Vanderbilt
University only provide "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
