[orbitcpp-list] CosNaming.idl compilation problems

[Ryan O. <rdo...@pa...>]

Hi,

I've been trying to compile orbitcpp-0.30 and can't seem to get around 
the following compile error:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/orbitcpp-0.30/services/name'
/usr/bin/orbit-idl -l c++ --backenddir=../../compiler/.libs ./CosNaming.idl

** WARNING **: Module load failed: 
../../compiler/.libs/liborbit-idl-c++-backend.so: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory

** CRITICAL **: file orbit-idl-driver.c: line 50 (orbit_idl_to_backend): 
assertion `binfo && binfo->op_output' failed.

** WARNING **: ./CosNaming.idl compilation failed
sed -e 's/#include \"CosNaming\.h\"/#include 
\"ORBitservices\/CosNaming.h\"/' CosNaming-cpp-common.hh > CosNaming.hh

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/orbitcpp-0.30/services'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


The only files in the compiler/.libs dir are:

total 4960
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      5061762 Apr 28 00:53 
liborbit-idl-c++-backend.a
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           30 Apr 28 00:53 
liborbit-idl-c++-backend.la -> ../liborbit-idl-c++-backend.la
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          672 Apr 28 00:53 
liborbit-idl-c++-backend.lai


FWIW, I'm using RedHat 7.0 with gcc 2.96, with the ORBit-0.5.7-ximian.3 
and ORBit-devel-0.5.7-ximian.3 packages.

Any advice? TIA

Looks like your system doesn't compile shared libraries. The c++ back-end
needs to be compiled as a shared library because it has to be dynamically
opened at run time. Make sure you didn't use the the --disable-shared
option for configure.

I had a similar problem using libstdc++-2.90.8 with gcc-2.95.2 because
there was no shared version of libstdc++ (this is probably the problem you
are having as well).

My suggestion is ditch the RH compiler (2.96) and get a CVS version of
gcc-3 and libstdc++-3. There are RPMs and source tarballs at
www.codesourcery.com/gcc-snapshots. They are very stable. I've used these
compilers recently to compile orbitcpp. 
Install into a non-standard location so you don't clobber the existing
system compiler. You're looking at about 5M download for gcc and libstdc++
binary RPMs.

I did this

rpm -i --prefix=/usr/develop gcc-XXX.rpm

And the same with the libstdc++ rpm

Then put /usr/develop at the top of the search path.

You'll also need to set LD_LIBRARYPATH and LD_RUNPATH environment variables
to point to /usr/develop/lib.


Hope this helps

Rich
