The ORBit package contains a high-performance CORBA Object Request Broker. This allows programs to send requests and receive replies from other programs.
ORBit depends on: popt-1.7 and GLib-1.2.10 |
Install ORBit by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome && make && make install |
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
The ORBit package contains libIDL, libIIOP, libORBit, libORBitCosNaming and libORBitutil libraries.
libIDL is the Interface Definition Language mappings for CORBA.
libIIOP is for low level CORBA communications.
libORBit is the CORBA API.
No description available.
libORBitutil contains the convenience routines for ORBit.
