[ace-users] [installation] having problems building ACE/TAO forvxworks.

[Johnny Willemsen]

Hi,
 
Building ACE/TAO for VxWorks with autoconf isn't supported at all, only the
traditional way of compilation will work.

	    ACE VERSION: 5.5 and 5.5.8
	
	    HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
	        AMD 64 3500  Suse Linux 10.2
	
	    TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST:
	        Pentium M VxWorks 6.3
	        VxSim VxWorks 6.3
	
	    THE $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h FILE [if you use a link to a
platform-
	    specific file, simply state which one]:
	        config-vxworks6.3,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_vxworks6.3.GNU
	
	    CONTENTS OF
$ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features
	    (used by MPC when you generate your own makefiles):
	        this file doesn't exist ??? Is this a problem
	
	    AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED:
	        Can't cross-compile.
	
	    DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
	        COMPILATION? yes
	        LINKING?
	            On Unix systems, did you run make realclean first?
	        EXECUTION?
	        OTHER (please specify)?
	
	    SYNOPSIS:
	        I can't cross compile ace and tao for vxworks, for the
vxworks simulator and for my pentium-m target
	
	    DESCRIPTION:
	        I tried both methods present in the installation
instructions with no success. I tried the ACE-install.sh script which comes
with the latest beta kit with no luck either. I tried also with the
autotools build but I couldn't even specify the host. Is it possible to
cross-compile using the autotools version?
	        Could somebody please help  me with some more detailed
instructions on how to build ACE/TAO for VxWorks?
	
	    REPEAT BY:
	
	    SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:
	
	    
	
	    Kind Regards
	
	    José Rui
