[Ace-users] Re: [ciao-users] Quickly building CIAO

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi Alessio,

Judging from the error message below, it looks to me like you're not
setting the platform_macros.GNU file correctly.  Please read the
explanation of how to do this in ACE_ROOT/ACE-INSTALL.html.  Search for
"Create a build configuration file" and follow the instructions there.

Thanks,

        Doug
