[orbitcpp-list] What's this?

[Bruce I. <bru...@ec...>]

I recently downloaded and compiled OrbitCPP, but I'm kind of fumbling
around in the dark here, so please forgive me if this is a stupid
question.

I've created a cheesy little stack IDL modelling off the examples. The
IDL compiled, and I created a teststack-impl.hh and teststack-impl.cc
and derived the classes as I see the examples are. The problem is when I
try to compile the this tiny bit of code (using g++ -c teststack-impl.cc
`orbitcpp-config --cflags server` I get the following errors:

teststack-cpp-skels.hh:18: parse error before `m_cservant'
teststack-cpp-skels.hh:24: parse error before `_TestModule_MyStack_epv'
teststack-cpp-skels.hh:25: parse error before `_vepv'

Along with a bunch of unhappy C++ fluff messages that I can post here if
necessary.

Looking at teststack-cpp-skels.hh, I see the following code:

...
        public:
                struct _orbitcpp_Servant {
                        ::_orbitcpp::c::POA_TestModule_MyStack
m_cservant; // <-- Line 18
                        POA_TestModule::MyStack *m_cppservant;
                } m_target;
...

This strikes me as kind of strange (But I'm fairly new to C++, too.) Is
this supposed to be happening? Did I miss a necessary flag when using
orbit-idl (I did orbit-idl -lc++ teststack.idl) Am I missing a necessary
C flag or include file? Any insights would be appreciated.

PS: FWIW, I'm currently on GCC Version 2.95.2, which I downloaded and
compiled off prep.ai.mit.edu after the egcs that came with RedHat
crapped out trying to compile OrbitCPP. I have the correctly patched
version of ORBIT from the orbitcpp FTP site on my system. The system is
running RedHat 6.2. Please let me know if any more information is
needed.
