Installing the ACE Threads package on C::B

(1/6) > >>

Hello.

I am a Computer Science student and have just recently discovered the wonderful C::B IDE.
being the said (read "sad"  :) ) student, i recieved and assignment that requires working
with the ACE (Description) package.

I work with the MinGW compiler since all our code is checked on Linux systems and i dont have Linux installed at home. Now, I have made C::B work with MinGW, that was easy even for me, but I couldnt get the ACE package to work.

If any C++ expert can take a look at the site and explain how to get it to work on C::B  or anyone has experience working with the package and can explain, I would be very greatful.

thanks in advance.

Wow, I just tried to build this beast. Now I know why you said "sad" ;)
Given the fact it comes with a .DSW file, I thought "why, it can't be so hard", and dragged that onto Code::Blocks...

5 minutes later, it was still loading when my machine ran out of virtual memory...

Stand by, I'll try on ;)

thomas:
Ok, next step, I tried MSYS with ./configure and make.

After running for a while, it failed and showed the message "Please use the stock ACE build procedure detailed in the file 'ACE-INSTALL.html'.

And Io and behold, there is a section on how to build that package with MSYS and MinGW :)

So, you have to download the MSYS package (in case you don't have that yet), and follow the instructions in the ACE-INSTALL.html document. I haven't tried those because it is a bit lenghty, but I guess  you will get along with that :)

Tom_E:
alright, i'll try that. thanks.

If I remember correctly, there is ACE package for DEV-C++. I have no tried it yet, but may be it would be possible to import it in C::B and use it. I think it would be worth a try.
