[PolyORB-users] Troubles compiling PolyORB

[Maciej Sobczak]

Hello,

This is my first post to this list. I'm evaluating PolyORB (well, 
trying) and cannot get through the compilation process.

The version downloaded from the Libre website (polyorb-gpl-2007-src.tgz) 
does not compile for the following reason:

modified

gnatmake: "idl_fe-parser.adb" compilation error


The version downloaded from SVN did not contain the configure script and 
I could not recreate it on my system due to the lack of libtoolize. I 
did it on a nearby Linux box and then tried to compile - this time the 
process went through much further, but failed with this:

+=======================GNAT BUG DETECTED==========================+
| 4.4.0 20080314 (experimental) [trunk revision 133226] 
(i686-apple-darwin9) |
| Assert_Failure sinfo.adb:2023
| Error detected at polyorb-references-ior.adb:135:15


I'm determined to evaluate PolyORB, but it looks like I need some help 
to get it rolling.
My platform is Mac with GNAT 4.4.0 20080314.
