TAO VERSION: 1.5
ACE VERSION: 5.5
HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
DELL Power Edge 6650 running Redhat 9.0 (Linux version 2.4.20-6smp)
(gcc version 3.2.2 (Redhat Linux 3.2.2-5))
HP Compaq running Fedore Core 5.0
TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST:
COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL):
DELL rpm gcc-3.2.2-5
HP rpm gcc-4.1.0-3
THE $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h FILE [if you use a link to a platform-
specific file, simply state which one]: config-linux.h
THE $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU FILE [if you
use a link to a platform-specific file, simply state which one
(unless this isn't used in this case, e.g., with Microsoft Visual
C++)]: platform_linux.GNU
CONTENTS OF $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features
(used by MPC when you generate your own makefiles):
There is no default.features file. Considering I use
mwc.pl -type gnuace, perhaps gnuace.features is
pertinent? this contains: ssl=1, qt=1,
fl=1, tk=1, xt=1, cidl=1, sctp=1.
AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED:
AnyTypeCode class. I think.
DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
COMPILATION? No...
If so, what do your $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h and
$ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU contain?
LINKING? Yes
On Unix systems, did you run make realclean first? Yes
EXECUTION? No
OTHER (please specify)? No
[Please indicate whether ACE/TAO, your application, or both are
affected.]
SYNOPSIS:
When attempting to 'make' basic tutorial code, get a "undefined
reference
to to 'vtable for TAO::TypeCode::Objref........."
DESCRIPTION:
Running very basic code as documented in:
http://download.theaceorb.nl/TPG.pdf The Remedy IT Programmers Guide
(Hello World Application)
REPEAT BY:
Error comes up during 'make' process.
SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:
EXTRA INFO:
I just got a response from another employee of our company (Raytheon)
Who states "I think it is due to the way you compiled ACE/TAO and
The example program".
So to help that angle, I will describe the exact steps I used to compile
ACE/TAO:
1. Download & Untar ACE-5.5+TAO-1.5.tar.gz
2. export ACE_ROOT=/root/TAO/ACE_wrappers
export TAO_ROOT=$ACE_ROOT/TAO
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ACE_ROOT/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
3. Create file $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h
#include "ace/config-linux.h"
4. Create $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU
include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_linux.GNU
5. Build ACE Libraries
$ACE_ROOT/ace/make (this is quick)
6. Build gperf application
$ACE_ROOT/apps/gperf/src/make
7. Build TAO libraries
$TAO_ROOT/make (this takes forever)
