[Pkg-ace-devel] New ACE version released

[Marek Brudka]

Hi,
   Here are build instructions and list of files for GUI related 
libraries. I hope this may help to build new distribution.

1. Build instruction.
   a) required packages: fltk-devel, qt-devel (multithread), tk-devel,  
xt-devel (as previously).
   b) configuration:
      - configure script prepared by J.T.Conclin should work nicely. 
Please examine if required packages are detected.
         If not please configure ace using --with-qt --with-fl 
--with-xt  --with-tk options. I've never tried to autoconfigure
         ACE, but there were efforst lately to improve it, hence I 
expect it runs well. I suppose, that J.T.Conclin
         can provide a feedback on autoconfigure.
      - alternatively one may use MPC in ACE_wrappers/TAO with options 
(no whitespaces after comma):
         "-features qt=1,x11=1,xt=1,fl=1,gl=1,tk=1,
                
ace_qtreactor=1,ace_xtreactor=1,ace_flreactor=1,ace_tkreactor=1,
                
tao_qtresource=1,tao_xtresource=1,tao_flresource=1,tao_tkresource=1 
TAOACE.mwc"
         or modify 
ACE_wrappers/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/global.features
         Please verify in MPC output that all necessary makefiles are 
generated.
   c) compilation: "make qt=1 x11=1 xt=1 fl=1 gl=1 tk=1,
                ace_qtreactor=1 ace_xtreactor=1 ace_flreactor=1 
ace_tkreactor=1,
                tao_qtresource=1 tao_xtresource=1 tao_flresource=1 
tao_tkresource=1" (and wait :-) )
2. Packaging.
   I'm not sure if MPC can generate install list correctly, but one may 
try. Nevertheless, here is the list of packages

3. There are new files related with GUI in libTAO, namely 
ACE_wrappers/TAO/tao/GUIResource_Factory.[h,cpp].
These files are a abstract base for remaining GUIResource_Factories, hence
header ACE_wrappers/TAO/tao/GUIResource_Factory.h should be added to 
libTAO-devel.

Please notice also I proposed to change libtao* packages names, because 
the TAO libraries changed.

I hope I did not missed anything :-)
