make install for 0.6.2 release failing on python scripts

[bhilburn]

During the make install for 0.6.2, it is failing with the following output:

Making install in python
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/bhilburn/working/scripts/release-0.6.2/src/system/ossie/idl/python'

ERROR building src/system/ossie

This is clearly due to the python scripts added to the make file to install the python bindings. Is it possible that it is because the necessary package hasn't been installed yet? Perhaps this should all be run after everything is installed instead of concurrently.

[bhilburn]

The original error was an omniORBpy problem - the error message just wasn't very descriptive.

The installation completes successfully using the build.py script.

Can you document the omniPy problem, just in case this comes up again?

Replying to balister:

Can you document the omniPy problem, just in case this comes up again?

Build failed because omniORBpy was not installed. The output listed above is from make install while make actually failed to build the python bindings. Because the makefile actually just runs a python script to generate the bindings, make didn't return an error, but make install did because the resulting directory, ossie, was not present.

[balister]

It sounds like the python script should add error checking ....

[jgaeddert]

Yeah, probably...
