=>AFAIK, omniORB works when compile with HP aC++ on HP-UX 10.20. I don't have
=>access to a 10.20 machine so cannot say for sure. It definitely works on
=>HP-UX 11.00 and we provide the binary for download.
I just finished building from CVS on 10.20 with aCC, and it
seems to be working fine. The biggest challenge was digging up
the 10.20 release media and installing the DCEProg package in
order to get pthreads. The only change I made to the config was
to use "-O" instead of "-O2", which aCC warns about. ("+O2" is
the right thing for aCC; "-O2" is treated as "-O -2". "-O" is
the same as "+O2".) Once I set SHLIB_PATH to point to the lib
directory, everything worked fine.
=>The only drawback with using HP aC++ is that python can't load the shared
=>library built by that compiler. For the full story please read the readme
=>on HPUX.
If you are using Python 2.0, you can configure it like so:
./configure --without-gcc --with-cxx=/opt/aCC/bin/aCC
and get a Python that works fine with omniidl and omniORBpy. It
passes all the type tests, though the performance tests have yet
to get past single longs on my D380/2. I'm not sure what is going
on in this case. It isn't even taking up much CPU on either end.
Oh, there was one thing I did have to change to get _omnipymodule
to compile. In /usr/local/include/python2.0/config.h, change:
/* Define as __inline if that's what the C compiler calls it. */
#define inline
to:
/* Define as __inline if that's what the C compiler calls it. */
#ifndef __cplusplus
#define inline
#endif
aCC gets really confused when C++'s inline attribute is ignored,
causing numerous linking problems. Come to think of it, I think I
had to do this on AIX with xlC, as well. I'll have to check and see
if the Python developers will pick up this change.
I'd be interested in hearing anyone else's experiences with OmniORB
on HP-UX 10.20. We're in the process of designing an agent for a system
running on HP-UX, and OmniORB is looking like the tool to use assuming
it will work for us.

However there is a Bus error core dump when making the Naming service i.e. ../../../bin/hppa_hpux_10.20/omniidl -bcxx -Wba -
p../../../src/lib/omniORB2 -ComniORB3 ../../../idl/Naming.idl in directory omni/src/lib/omniORB2.
