I have a feeling that interface_repository.idl generates these types in interface_repository.h, but I cannot compile interface_repository.idl without getting other errors (mentioned in my previous post). I'm really stuck here. Is there a previous version of ORBit that Gnome 0.99 will compile with? My system is FreeBSD 2.2.7, with the latest GNU tools (i think). Thanx for any help.



As you observe, the error is in the idl-compiler, it tries to use indent with
all kinds of fancy commandline parameters, the short term solution is to 
build ORBit as follows on FreeBSD:

rm -rf ORBit-0.3.90
tar zxvf ORBit-0.3.90.tar.gz
cd ORBit-0.3.90
./configure ....	<-- insert your favourite configure options
vi config.h

	Now look for a line with '#define HAVE_INDENT 1' and *uncomment*
	that line.

now type 'gmake'

and all should  be fine.

The long term solution is that configure should see that the indent in
question does not support the commandline parameters it is used with, and
should automatically fall back to 'cat'.

I'll look at it when I have more time.

Regards,
Marc.
