[orbitcpp-list] Re: Where's the Any support

[John L. <jk...@lu...>]

Hmm. The official orbitcpp project is located at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/orbitcpp. If you go to the CVS
repository link (towards the bottom) it has instructions on getting the
sources from CVS, I just looked at the Browse CVS Repository link and
the changes are in there.
Everything just about works except: Functions that take or return
TypeCode_ptr, and Any_var, which will be in shortly. Finally due to an
oversight on my part, an Any in an exception causes the server to crash.
That problem will be fixed shortly. I have loosely tested Any's with
strings and objects and struct, and almost everything "seems" to work.
Please post any (no pun intended) problems you find on the list.

Thank you,
John Luebs

Yes, the Any support is based on features rather new to ORBit. You have
two options: ORBit CVS (which as of this writing will not build due to a
configure script problem, it has to be modified a bit), but the orbitcpp
CVS should build fine with ORBit CVS snapshot that is "released" for use
with orbitcpp found at this address:
ftp://orbitcpp.sourceforge.net/pub/orbitcpp/ORBit-cvs-20000918.tar.gz
You also should install this in a place like /opt/glib2.0 and then
configure ORBit with options: --prefix=(not /usr or /usr/local)
--with-glib-prefix=/opt/glib2.0
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.3/

Please note that you must make sure to install all this stuff in another
prefix, definitely not /usr or /usr/local, something like /opt/ORBit (or
whatever directory you want), because any libraries on your machine with
code generated from an old ORBit IDL compiler will fail!

Now it is, thanks. But it wasn't in the afternoon.

Sajnálom, de nem tudok segíteni. Engem csak a szépségem miatt vettek fel.

Do I need some super-ultra-mega-latest ORBit for the new stuff to work?
orbitcpp_tools.cc: In function `struct CORBA_TypeCode_struct *
_orbitcpp::TypeCode_allocate()':
orbitcpp_tools.cc:68: implicit declaration of function `int
ORBit_RootObject_init(...)'
orbitcpp_tools.cc:69: implicit declaration of function `int
ORBit_TypeCode_dup(...)'

(with ORBit 0.5.4)
