I've just tried to port OmniORB to FreeBSD 2.2.1-R. This ORB needs PThreads, and it wasn't a pleasant experience. After much hacking, I managed to get it to compile and link OK, but it basically doesn't run -- for example, programs exit randomly after they are started, without error messages or seg faults. Has anyone managed to port this? I also had to hack /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/Makefile.inc to include lots of extra files which are in that directory, but are strangely omitted from the build process ... why is this? Do these files not work, or are they somehow optional? Rich. -- Richard Jones rjones@imcl.com Tel: +44 171 460 6141 Fax: .. 4461 ABLE INmEDIA Ltd. 262a Fulham Rd. London SW10 9EL.
