$ cd [omniORBpy directory]$ mkdir build$ cd build$ ../configure [configure options]$ make$ su -c "make install"
Create the python bindings for omniORB
You can create the bindings directory somewhere in your user directoryand list the directory in a .pth file as shown here, or you copy thecompiled idl to the local site-packages directory.
$ mkdir idl_py$ cd idl_py$ cp <path to ossie idl files>/*.idl .$ omniidl -p<path to omniORBpy backend> -bpython *
- <path to ossie idl files> is typically /usr/local/include/ossie/ if installing from subversion but may be elsewhere if installed by another method.
- <path to omniORBpy backend> is typically /usr/local/lib/python<version>/site-packages.
As root, create ossie.pth
# cd /usr/lib/python<version>/site-packages/# vim ossie.pth
- Create the ossie.pth file to look as follows
<path to idl_py>/usr/local/lib/python2.x/site-packages/
