[ace-users] link fail on "ACE_Thread_Mutex.h"

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi,

Thanks for using the PRF.

>    ACE VERSION: 5.5

Please upgrade to ACE+TAO+CIAO x.5.10 (i.e., ACE 5.5.10, TAO 1.5.10, and
CIAO 0.5.10), 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.

Please see

ACE_ROOT/tests/TSS_Test.cpp

for an example of how to use ACE_TSS.  Make sure this compiles/runs
properly on your platform first and then use it as a model for writing
your code.

Thanks,
