Re: [orbitcpp-list] Basic question

[Richard A. <ric...@ix...>]

orbit-idl is the IDL compiler. Try

orbit-idl --lang=c++ <file.idl>

This will generate C and C++ stubs and skels for you which you can then use
to make your clients and servers. The stubs are for the client and the
skels provide an empty implementation of the server.

Before you can make use of the server you need to provide some activation
method to start the server when needed, so you need to read about the OAF
(Object Activation Framework) or libgnorba. You can find this info on the
gnome web site www.gnome.org.

There are various flags for orbit-idl which affect what results from
compilation.

try

orbit-idl --help
