Hi everybody,
I am trying to get OpenModelica to compile on a Linux system (actually two,
one Gentoo at home and a Suse at work).
There are a number of issues I found in the distributed package for version
1.4.4, namely:
* The configure script is not set to be executable;
* The configure script uses DOS line endings (\r\n); these must be set back to
UNIX standard (\n);
* File Compiler/rml2sig/rmldep-new.sh must be made executable;
* On line 3313 of the configure script there is a find command, that needs an
additional -L option to follow symlinks (in my case, /usr/lib is a symlink
to /usr/lib64, since my system is 64-bit).
We are aware of all these issues (minus -L one).
Is somehow my fault I downloaded and zipped the sources
on a windows system that's why the issues with executable
scripts and DOS endings.
If you take the sources from our Subversion repository you
don't run into these issues.
About 64 bit platforms: OpenModelica is not yet ready for them.
You will need to force the compiler to compile in 32bit mode.
I am currently struggling to find a package that implements idl, which
OpenModelica requires during compilation. I found mico CORBA, but this has
some issues in turn (they don't use autotools and their installation process
becomes easily borked, plus I got burnt because they do not implement make
uninstall).
Is there a particular open-source implementation that provides the idl command
that you guys use? Note that my knowledge of CORBA is fairly limited...
There are a number of packages implementing CORBA but we use mico and I
don't know if it will work with some other package as the OMC compiler
which is the server uses MICO Corba. The clients can use any Corba
implementation, but that's not the case for the server.
As far as I know there is a portage for Mico in the Gentoo repositories.
Why don't you use that?
