[ace-users] compiling ACE on linux with wchar

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi Martin,

> I've recongnized the same problem:

I've lost the bubble on this one, but I don't think we're having any
problems with this in our autobuilds at
www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/scoreboard.  It therefore sounds to me like
there's an inconsistency between how you're building ACE and how the
tests are being built.  I have the following suggestions:

. Check www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/scoreboard to see why we're not having
  the problems that you are.

. If you see a problem with ACE or the ACE tests please send us
  patches that fix them.

Thanks,

        Doug
