Build ding a distributed partition

Build ding a distributed partition

[Dmitry A. Kazakov]

What are gprbuild/gnatmake switches etc for building a distributed 
partition? I found no word about it.

I seem to remember something called gnatdist.

Yes. I saw references to gnatdist and po_gnatdist. Neither is anywhere 
to find. (:-()

Furthermore, if read descriptions right, both are to generate a 
gpr-file. Therefore, there must be something in that file to tell that a 
package is actually "main" of a partition with the ID so and so etc.

I haven't seen a polyorb installer from AdaCore in a couple of years, but here's a Frankensteinian way you might be able to get it working:

(1) Download the latest PolyOrb [I think it's 2014] and the matching GPL GNAT.
(2) Install GNAT, be sure to remember the install location.
(3) Install PolyOrb. [I used the same location.]
(4) Install the latest GPL GNAT [or you can try FSF GNAT] in the same location as #2.

Create your distribution config file (here "Distribution.cfg"), and run "[GNAT_LOCATION]\po_gnatdist -d -PC:\Programming\Projects\[Actual_Project]\[Actual_Project].gpr Distribution"

Thanks. Under which OS would it be best to try, Windows or Linux?

I typically use Windows as I find it to be a saner dev-environment (I've always thought case-sensitivity in the FS to be a pain); I wouldn't be surprised if you could pull the equivalent off in Linux, but I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't either (file permissions/ownerships, for one, being incredibly fragile).

OK. I want to look into the projects gnatdist generates to figure out 
how to go without it.

That's really a good news. In the past few years, finding PolyORB was a pain as it disappeared from AdaCore Website and I had to find the SVN tree in my old archives.
Anyway, last time I tried to build it, it was during last FOSDEM and compilation went well, at least for CORBA application and under Linux (Ubuntu).
