OpenDDS build failure

Question

I'm trying to build OpenDDS 3.4.1 with ACE+TAO-6.2.3. While following the DDS/INSTALL docs, option B, I'm running into the following build errors.

Here is directory location ...

/home/ender/OpenDDS-3.4.1/
|- ACE+TAO-6.2.3.tar
|- ACE_wrappers
|- DDS
`- OpenDDS-3.4.1.tar

Environment variables ...

ACE_ROOT=/home/ender/OpenDDS-3.4.1/ACE_wrappers
TAO_ROOT=/home/ender/OpenDDS-3.4.1/ACE_wrappers/TAO
DDS_ROOT=/home/ender/OpenDDS-3.4.1/DDS
MPC_ROOT=/home/ender/OpenDDS-3.4.1/ACE_wrappers/MPC
CIAO_ROOT=/home/ender/OpenDDS-3.4.1/ACE_wrappers/CIAO

And this is the build error I'm trying to get past.

I've built this before and it worked, but can't see why I'm having troubles this time around. Any ideas?

Answer 1

There has been some refactoring in ACE which causes OpenDDS 3.4.1 not to compile with ACE/TAO x.2.3. You have to manually add an include of ace/INET_Addr.h to dds/DCPS/transport/framework/TransportReceiveStrategy_T.h as done in commit 5998 of OpenDDS.
