Hi FCh, Sorry, I delayed responding to this thread. Your input was very useful.
I managed to get it going, what I did finally was, I grouped each generated .C file into a Tup Group, and I have a function that then takes the file name as argument, and writes the compilation command, and it uses the group name. I'm attaching the Tupfile.lua that processes the IDL files to generate the header, and implementation classes, and the file that then compiles the C file. If you have any comments on my Lua files, please let me know.
