Dear Adrian,

Thank you for the code sample at
http://www.ida.liu.se/~adrpo/omc/corba/ which helped me
to get started. To make it easier to use on non-Windows
platforms, you might want to add the idl file. Here is
what I did on Mac OS X; please feel free to use this
information as you want.

- Create the following file omc_communication.idl in
openmodelica-cygwin:

interface OmcCommunication {
  string sendExpression( in string expr);
  string sendClass( in string model);
};

- If you haven't yet, install Apple development tools
(Xcode etc.)

- If you haven't yet, install OpenModelica with
dependencies with MacPorts, in particular mico in
/opt/local

- Add /opt/local/bin to current path, e.g.

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin

- Compile the idl file:

idl omc_communication.idl
g++ -c omc_communication.cc -I/opt/local/include -I.

- Compile corbacomm:
g++ -c corbacomm.cpp -I/opt/local/include
g++ -o corbacomm corbacomm.o omc_communication.o
g++ -o corbacomm corbacomm.o omc_communication.o \
 -L/opt/local/lib -lmico2.3.12

- Run omc (we assume here that we're in the root directory
of OpenModelica):
export OPENMODELICAHOME=`pwd`
export OPENMODELICALIBRARY=$OPENMODELICAHOME/ModelicaLibrary
omc +d=interactiveCorba

- Run corbacomm, e.g.
corbacomm file:///tmp/openmodelica.$USER.objid "help()"

Best regards,

Yves
