CORBA 2.3.7 README

IX. JORB Lite installation and configuration instructions
1. Execute the file WS_SW\JORBLITE.EXE on your CD by double
clicking on it in the Explorer. You will be prompted for a
directory where you want to place the files. The default
directory is "c:\jorblite". If you want to enter a different
directory name, do so and continue. Note that the installer will
update your PATH and CLASSPATH. You will end up with the
following directory structure (<jorblite-dir> is the directory in
which you installed JORB Lite):
<jorblite-dir>
+--bin
+--docs
+--javapubs
+--javadocs
+--etc
+--idl
+--javasamples
+--bank
+--calc
+--event_service
+--ins
+--jpathsend
+--jts_bank
+--stack
+--stack-obv
+--stack-tie
+--stock
+--stock-dynamic
+--lib
+--urls
2. Unzip the following documentation zip files in the same directory
that they live in:
(a) <jorblite-dir>\docs\javapubs\javadocs\javadoc.zip
You can use an application like "WinZip" to do this.
3. You will need to obtain a "C" preprocessor, such as "cl" from
Microsoft's Visual C++ (needed by IDL compiler). You will also
need to ensure that the "cl.exe" program is accessible from the
PATH environment variable. The idl2java script executes IDL using
the "cl.exe" program to preprocess information in the IDL file.
The error "nsdidl: Error:could not run preprocessor: "
cl -E -C filename.idl java.io.IOException:
CreateProcess: cl -E -C filename.idl error=2"
will be received if the "cl.exe" program can not be found by the
NSDIDL compiler.
NOTE: If you wish to use GNU's "C" preprocessor (cpp), you will
need to edit bin\idl2java.bat and change "cl" to "cpp". GNU's "C"
preprocessor can be found on the web at sites such as
www.cygnus.com (under cygwin [full release]). You will also need
to ensure that the "cpp.exe" program is accessible from the PATH
environment as above.
4. In using the Java 2 platform, you need to copy lib\orb.properties
to <Java 2 root directory>\jre\lib.
