[omniORB] How to compile omniorbpy 3 on Windows?

[Olaf Meding]

Q1. How do I compile omniorbpy 3.0 on Windows? The readme.txt file
seems to talk only about how to do this on Unix. Unfortenuately, I
can not use the binary because I need to use Python 2.3.5. (not Python
2.4).

Would it be enough to copy the omniorbpy source code to top\src\lib
and then execute a "make export" in top\src? Or perhaps a "make
export" in top\src\lib\omniORBpy-3.0?

Q2. I assume I can not use the omniorb Python to compile omniorbpy?

I am using VS .NET 2003 (VS 7) on W2K.


Many thanks for your help.

It says this in README.txt:

"
If you do not have Autoconf support on your platform, you must install
the omniORBpy source in the $TOP/src/lib directory of a working
omniORB 4.1 tree. Then, in the $TOP/src/lib/omniORBpy directory,
simply do a gnumake export.

Yes, you should do make export in the omniORBpy directory, in the same
tree you set up for building omniORB. What goes wrong when you do? The
same cl issue, or did you fix that?

Well, you can, but that's not what you want because the omniORB minimal
Python is an ancient Python 1.5.2.

tree you set up for building omniORB. What goes wrong when you do?
Was able to build omniORB 4.1.0 using VC7 on WXP.
Then copied the omniORBpy 3.0 source code to
C:\omniORB-4.1.0\src\lib\omniORBpy-3.0.
Then cd'ed into the omniORBpy-3.0 directory.
Then did a 'make export' and got the below error.

Okay the problem of my previous post was that the omniORBpy-3.0.tar.gz
unzipps to "omniORBpy-3.0". I renamed that directory to omniORBpy" and
the "make export" got much further, but still failing with the error
below.

Found the problem and omniORBpy now compiles on Windows using VC7.

The problem was that this file:
omniORB-4.1.0/src/lib/omniORBpy/python/COS/dir.mk
contains tab characters below the line that start with "IDLFILES =".

I removed those tab characters and it compiled.

Sorry, that important step was not in the documentation. The directory
does have to be called omniORBpy for the build to work. I'll update the
documentation.

I'm confused. On exactly which line are the tab characters that are
causing a problem? I can't find any tabs in that file that are in an
invalid place, only in continuation lines where whitespace isn't
significant, and in rules where there have to be tabs.

What version of make are you using?

Cheers,

Duncan.

On exactly which line are the tab characters that are causing a

problem?

All the lines below IDFILES hava a tab character followed by 3 spaces.
Here are the first few ...
IDLFILES = CosCollection.idl \
CosCompoundLifeCycle.idl \
CosContainment.idl CosEventChannelAdmin.idl \

The error I got was (notice the "dir.mk:50"):
Compiling .\tcInternal.py ...
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/omniORB-4.1.0/src/lib/omniORBpy/python/omniORB'

make[1]: Leaving directory

make: *** [export] Error 2

I attached the omniORB-4.1.0/src/lib/omniORBpy/python/COS/dir.mk file.
It came from omniORBpy-3.0.tar.gz.

I used the omniorb cygwin to compile omniORB and omniORBpy using VC7 on
WXP.


Hope this helps.
