[Ace-users] [tao-users] ImplRepo_Service : how to built with autoconf?

[Johnny Willemsen]

\Hi,
 
We do have files for autoconf in these directories so I would expect these
to get build. Can you check if this really didn't get build. But much more
important, the autoconf support is considered experimental. It will deliver
you a different TAO then build the traditional way. We only do compilation
with autoconf TAO, no testing. Personally I am in favor of removing autoconf
from the shipped distribution, the result of the build isn't tested at all.
Please switch to the traditional way of compilation!

	ACE VERSION: 5.6
	
	    HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
	    
	        Sun V20z, dual AMD Opteron 2.2 GHz, 4 GBytes RAM, 2 disks 72
GBytes SCSI U2W 160
	        Fedora Core 7 - 2.6.22.6
	
	    TARGET MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM, if different from HOST:
	    COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL):
	    
	        gcc version 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-13)
	
	    THE $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h FILE [if you use a link to a
platform-
	    specific file, simply state which one]:
	    
	        #include "ace/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++)]:
	    
	        include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_linux.GNU
	
	    CONTENTS OF
$ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/default.features
	    (used by MPC when you generate your own makefiles):
	    
	        File doesn't exist
	
	    AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED:
	
	        ImplRepo_Service + ImR_Activator
	
	    DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
	        COMPILATION? YES
	        LINKING? YES
	            On Unix systems, did you run make realclean first? YES
	        EXECUTION? YES
	        OTHER (please specify)?
	
	    SYNOPSIS:
	
	    While trying to compile/install ACE + TAO with:
	    
	    cd $ACE_ROOT
	    mkdir build
	    cd build
	    ../configure
	    make
	    
	    ImplRepo_Service and ImR_Activator do NOT get built (in
$ACE_ROOT/build/TAO/orbsvcs/ImplRepo_Service).
	
	    DESCRIPTION:
	
	    I also tried to build ImplRepo_Service using the "Traditional
ACE/GNU Configuration" (i.e. setting up config.h and platform_macros.GNU
manually). Doing so I get ImplRepo_Service built, but it seems the libTAO*
files generated by this method are not compatible with those generated by
configure...
	    I would like to use the first method (autoconf) in order to get
the libraries installed in /usr/local/lib more easily.
	    Thank you for any insights on this.
