RE: Orbit2 Win32

["Johan Antonsson" <Johan Antonsson ibitec se>]

Hi again Adam,

What kind of errors do you get? Do you reckon it's worth spending time trying to build and use the Windows version of Orbit in production software? 

Regards,

/Johan

Hi Johan,

I was also unable to compile Orbit 0.5 using Cygwin (or MinGW).  I *had* to
use Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0.  The zip file available from
http://orbit-resource.sourceforge.net/win32/ORBit-0.5.1-win32.zip is a
working snapshot of a VC++ workspace complete with pre-compiled .lib files
(in VC 6.0 format).  You can compile your Orbit applications against these
.lib files.

I've done the above and sucessfully compiled and run a CORBA client, written
in C, on Windows.  I still get errors, though - looks like there's bugs in
Orbit code, but no-one will ever fix these because this version is now
unmaintained.  I guess we're just waiting for the gurus to fix the glib
issues on win32!

In the meanwhile, you can have a play with what I got working, if you
like... :-)  http://doors.sourceforge.net/download


HTH, Adam.
