Quick start to CORBA, TAO in Ubuntu.

Sunday, June 11th, 2006

After installing the TAO libraries with apt in ubuntu the files produced with tao_idl can’t be compiled utill you copy the file TypeCode_Base_Attributes.cpp into /usr/include/tao

the file can be downloaded from:

TypeCode_Base_Attributes.cpp

The reason of doing this is a bug in the distribution wich is solved in the latest versions.
After you have done this, you can start the tutorial from

http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/TAO/docs/tutorials/Quoter/

The first simple client and simple server can be compiled with the following Makefile

This tutorial is also available with other examples in the TAO-doc package which can be downloaded with apt. The original makefiles are available on this package but I couldn’t make them run.
have fun
