Re: [orbitcpp-list] Build issues and questions

Braden,

It's been a while since we last discussed ORBit-C++. Are you still
interested in helping out? I have more time to work on it now.

I've thought about this a bit, and I now agree that a seperate configure
script for the orbit-idl compiler plugin would be useful.

The main reason I didn't want one before is additional complexity, but I
see it as necessary now.

There is also a second problem which it would allow us to solve: The
compiler plugin library should be a .so file with no versioning and no
symlinks, and the soname should match the filename.

I've merged your other patches (RPM spec file, "make distclean" fix)
into the CVS repository. Feel free to send more for building the compiler
component with a seperate configure script, the other build problems
you've mentioned, or anything else you have fixed.
