have ACE_ROOT set to the path of the ACE_wrappers directory?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<FONT color=#000000>You did not give any details on what exactly failed. If you have further </FONT>

<FONT color=#000000>Do not bother with the autoconf-based build, since that does not work </FONT>

<FONT color=#000000>You did a native build first to get gperf and tao_idl, right?</FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>I had decent luck building for VxWorks-6.3 and TAO-1.5.8 using the </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>classic from-source build technique. The results are not yet tested.</FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>In previous versions of TAO I was able to assign TAO_IDL and other </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>variables in my platform_macros.GNU to get the cross-compilation to </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>work, but for 1.5.8 I seemed to need to actually create the soft links </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>in $ACE_ROOT/bin/ from the native build to the VxWorks directory.</FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>I sourced $WIND_BASE/windriver.bash before compiling. That got the </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>compilers in my path and defined a bunch of environment variables. In </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>previous versions of VxWorks I defined these variables for myself.</FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>I turned off RTP in platform_macros.GNU since that configuration seemed </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>to want a few definitions that did not exist. I understand that RTP is </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>the configuration that was used by Johnny Willemsen when freshening the </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>VxWorks support recently.</FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>Much more of ACE and TAO build for VxWorks than did in the days of </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>TAO-1.2.1.</FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>I patch ACE and TAO to get singletons to work with multiple loadable </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>modules; the VxWorks loader does not respect weakly-defined objects and </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>will create multiple instances of singletons if they are referenced </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>across modules. The patches involve using RTTI to register singletons in </FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>a non-templated manager object.</FONT>
