Public bug reported:
It appears that this is build and packaging issue inherited from Debian.
Package tao-idl puts binary tao_idl into /usr/lib/ace/TAO and then provides the
script in /usr/bin/tao_idl with the following content:
---------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
ACE_ROOT=/usr/lib/ace; export ACE_ROOT;
TAO_ROOT=$ACE_ROOT/TAO; export TAO_ROOT;
exec $TAO_ROOT/tao_idl "$@"
---------------------------------------
This should work. I am guessing that this specific Debian/Ubuntu tao_idl
location was not specified during the ACE+TAO build, and MakeProjectCreator TAO
infrastructure still expects to find tao_idl in its default location:
${ACE_ROOT}/bin/tao_idl. If I am not mistaken, this in file
/usr/lib/ace/TAO/MPC/config/taobaseidldefaults.mpb, the following line is the
root cause of my problem:
--------------------------------------------
tao_idl = $(ACE_ROOT)/bin/tao_idl
--------------------------------------------
The resulting GNUmakefile tries to symlink /usr/lib/ace/bin/tao_idl and,
of course, fails, as the correct location is /usr/lib/ace/TAO/tao_idl
I can not be sure what is the best way to fix this. If Debian/Ubuntu are
insisting on keeping tao_idl in /usr/bin/ace/TAO, then a "proper"
solution might be to use technique for cross-compilation of the ACE+TAO,
where tai_idl is built first, placed into the desired spot, and then in
second iteration that location is passed to ACE+TAO build, ensuring
proper position of tao_idl.
The problem can be reproduced by attempting to compile any TAO example with the
following line in its *.mpc :
----------------------
project(*idl): taoidldefaults {
----------------------
