There is currently no CORBA binding for OCaml (although this has been on our to-do list for quite a while). CamlIDL is a COM binding, and while COM and CORBA have several points in common, they are sufficiently different that CamlIDL won't help you much here. There is always the possibility of generating C++ communication stubs using omniORB, then connect the Caml code to these stubs by hand. This is feasible for a small number of CORBA interfaces and methods, but doesn't scale up. > - What about SunOS? This port is not a requirement, but it would be > nice. SunOS 5 (a.k.a. Solaris 2) is well supported and regularly tested. OCaml used to run under SunOS 4 but hasn't been tested under this environment in a while. - Xavier Leroy ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
