Crosscompiling ORBit2

[Guillermo Sanchez <guillersan gmail com>]

Hello collisters:

I'm quite new in the ORBit world, so sorry if this is not the correct
way of asking things.

I wanted to compile an ORBit program (server, client, skelimp...)
using RTAI flags (Real Time Aplication Interface) and includes, since
I'm using this last to communicate ORBit with a real time process. I
thought it would be a matter of makefile edition but when I edited it
I realized how new I'm in this world. Indeed I don't know where ORBit2
compiles at all.

Is there any chance of somebody to light my path? (I include the
makefile's code)

By the way, is there any difference between using g_thread_create and
pthread_create?

Also, can I create a thread inside the skeleton implementation code?

Thanks a lot,

Guillermo
