Re: orbit-idl-2 ... Anyone?

[Jan Vittrup Hansen <jan vittrup-hansen dk>]

Thank you for your response :)

  This is strange. I am simply using vicius-build-scripts to build gnome
head, and it stops here at ORBit2. I could find nothing interesting in
the config.log, and the command line that fails during make is shown
below.

../../../src/idl-compiler/orbit-idl-2 -I../../../src/idl/CORBA_PIDL				-I../../../src/idl/CORBA					-I../../../src/idl/misc				
	-I../../../src/idl/interop					--noskels --nodefskels --nostubs
--noidata --noheaders		--define=Object=OObject
--define=TypeCode=TTypeCode	        --showcpperrors --deps
./.deps/iop-defs.idl.P iop-defs.idl 

This results in the complaints concerning GIOP.idl, which are included
by the file iop-defs.idl. Can you identify missing or superflous
options? Or are this simply not meant to be executed? 

 Regards, Jan...
