[orbitcpp-list] build issues

[Brian C. <bc...@th...>]

I'm having a number of problems with the build. I'm building from cvs, since it
has a spec file.

o Generating autoconf/automake/libtool files. Is there a doc anywhere on
  this? They don't seem to be decending into the compiler directory
  correctly, and so I end up having to manually run half a dozen commands
  to get the build off the ground.

o After running all the above, "make dist" fails to work because standard
  files (like AUTHORS) are missing in the compiler directory, as well as 
  CosNaming-cpp-common.hh, and perhaps others. Seems to be the same problem
  as above.

o The changelog in the .spec file is broken such that rpm refuses to attempt a
  build.

o There's an unchecked (by configure or rpm) dependency on <sstream>, which 
  appears to be supported only by recent gcc. I think this is supposed to
  be handled by checking HAVE_STD_IOSTREAM and typedef'ing ostrstream to
  ostringstream.

o The template partial specialization in orbitcpp_sequence.hh also seems to
  only work with recent gcc, though older versions reportedly support partial
  specialization. I'm not sure what the problem is.
