version of ACE/TAO supported ?

[cfpperche2]

Hi, which are the version of ACE/TAO supported by orocos 2.8?

I'm try to compile Orocos from source with ACE+TAO-6.1.2 (TAO-2.1) (compiled from source also) http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/previous_versions/

But orocos don't compile, get an error in something related with Corba.

and

When I try to compile ACETAO=ACE+TAO-5.6.7 (TAO-1.6.7) is generated this error:
Dev_Poll_Reactor.cpp: In member function ‘int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor::dispatch_io_event(ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor::Token_Guard&)’:
Dev_Poll_Reactor.cpp:1216:41: error: cannot bind packed field ‘pfds->epoll_event::events’ to ‘__uint32_t& {aka unsigned int&}’
__uint32_t &revents = pfds->events;
^
make[1]: *** [.shobj/Dev_Poll_Reactor.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/ACE_wrappers/ace'
make: *** [ACE] Error 2

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, Xenomai 2.6.4, GCC and G++ 4.8

Has anyone the solution for this?

I am facing similar issue , but with ACE+TAO-1.6a_with_latest_patches., whenn attempting to compile in Ubuntu Environment.

No idea though about ace/TAO, I'm using OmniORB : (with Ubuntu 14.04, Xenomai 2.6.4)

sudo apt-get install omniorb-idl omniorb omniorb-nameserver
Then compile orocos with omniorb/corba options :

catkin_make_isolated --install -DENABLE_CORBA=ON -DCORBA_IMPLEMENTATION=OMNIORB

I am also using Omniorb, but does omniorb provides NamingService like Tao? Why is orocos recommended TAO to be used for corba extension?

Hi guys i have nicely built the ACE-TAO version 6.4.7. which i donwloaded from this site and than extracted. Here first i bult ace, than gperf, than tao. only small problem in in the tests folder of gperf which is oly for testing the installation of gperf so we can ignore that or remove that. else everything is good tao naming service is also built inside the tao folder.
