[Ace-users] [tao-users] TAO_PI vs VxWorks

Hi,

As Abdul already pointed out, please upgrade to x.6.2, this has been tested
for VxWorks 6.4 kernel mode, probably it will work also on VxWorks 6.2. We
do advice to upgrade to 6.4, the 6.2 kernel has several known problems.
ACE/TAO have only been partly tested on 6.2 and at that moment we had a lot
of test failures. The test results for 6.4 are available online at
http://scoreboard.theaceorb.nl.

The upcoming ACE/TAO x.6.3 will also have build support for VxWorks 6.6, we
are working on getting automated tests running on a x86 target. We will
start soon with reviving the port to VxWorks 5.5.1, we schedule to have a
one time tested port as part of ACE/TAO x.6.4. 

Regarding shared libraries, we are talking with various customers about
getting support for shared libraries. We are looking for sponsors to fund
this effort.

Regards,
