To use the IDL compiler fnidl you must have a C/C++
pre-processor installed on your path. By default, Fnorb will try
to use the one that comes with MS Visual C++ (cl.exe),
but if you have some other pre-processor (such as the excellent
gcc available FREE for Windows from Cygnus) then you must
edit the file ``Fnorb/script/cpp.py'' and set the value
of the COMMAND variable as appropriate.
- Installation from sources is performed in the same way as on
Unix. Unpack the source distribution with a utitility that supports
tar files, such as WinZip.
- Invoke setup.py
$ python setup.py install
- Make sure that you have set the value of the COMMAND
variable in module ``Fnorb/script/cpp'' as mentioned above.
- For this release, installation of the batch files
(e.g. fnidl.bat) is not automatic; this will be addressed in a
future release. Copy the files from Fnorb's script
directory to the Script directory of your Python
installation.
- Set the environment variable FNORB_HOME to the
directory suggested by setup.py. Correctly setting
FNORB_HOME is only necessary for the batch files; if you invoke the
IDL compiler and other tools as .py files, this variable
(and the batch files) is not needed.
