Re: orbitcpp on cygwin

[Bowie Owens <bowie owens csiro au>]

Hi Sagar,

The error seems to be complaining about the following line in IDL.h:
IDL_IMPORT const char *                 IDL_tree_type_names[];

Which looks like a valid declaration to me. If the compiler thinks it is 
a definition, that would be a problem. You might want to try compiling 
with the -E option and search for the declaration of IDL_tree_type_names 
to check that there aren't any problems with macro expansion. In the 
orbitcpp/idl-compiler/types directory:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -I.. -I../../.. -I../../.. -DVERSION=\"\
" -DORBIT2_INTERNAL_API -DORBIT2=1 -pthreads -I/usr/include/orbit-2.0 -I/usr/include/linc-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libIDL-2.0 -E IDLAny.cc | less


Also, you might want to try the latest version of orbitcpp in CVS. It no 
longer defines ORBIT2_INTERNAL_API, which may or may not have anything 
to do with this.

Lastly, can you tell me which versions of the gnome libraries you are 
using? Did you compile them yourself, use GARNOME, download binaries??? 
I have been trying to get orbitcpp to build under cygwin myself, but 
have been stuck with problems building the lower tools such as libIDL 
and ORBit2. So if you could detail how you got this far,  I would 
appreciate it.
