[Ace-users] [ace-users] Problem in vxWorks6.2 porting

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi,

Thanks for using the PRF.

>ACE VERSION: 5.5

ACE 5.5 is old.  Please upgrade to ACE+TAO+CIAO x.6.1 (i.e., ACE
5.6.1, TAO 1.6.1, and CIAO 0.6.1), 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.

Thanks,

        Doug

>    TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST:
>	VxWorks 6.2 Pentium
>    COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL):
>	Tornado 2.2
>
>    THE $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h FILE
>	config-vxworks6.2.h
>
>    THE $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU FILE
>	platform_vxworks6.2.GNU
>
>    DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
>        COMPILATION? yes
>
>    SYNOPSIS:
>	Many defines that we need add into the macro for VxWorks 6.2 that was
>provided with ACE.
>
>    DESCRIPTION:
>	We try compile the ACE but we see that in the include files are
>includes from VxWorks 6.3 and above environment, for example
>	up to now we see that we need define next defines:
>		#define ACE_LACKS_DUP
>		#define ACE_LACKS_DUP2
>		#define ACE_LACKS_FSYNC
>		#define ACE_LACKS_SYS_RESOURCE_H
>		#define ACE_LACKS_STRDUP		/* Must be added in 6.4 */
>		#define ACE_LACKS_NUMERIC_LIMITS
>		#define ACE_LACKS_ACCESS
>		#define ACE_HAS_NONCONST_CHDIR
>	and we not finished yet. Maybe someone see the same problem and have
>a config.h and platform_macros.GNU with all this.
