I am trying to build ACE 6.4.8 under Ubuntu 20.04.

I get the following message 

/ACE_wrappers/ace/os_include/os_stropts.h:56:17: fatal error: stropts.h: No such file or directory
   56 | #  include /**/ <stropts.h>
      |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [/home/ap1/Projects/ACE_wrappers/include/makeinclude/rules.local.GNU:189: .shobj/ACE.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ap1/Projects/ACE_wrappers_6_4_8/ace'
make: *** [GNUmakefile:777: ACE] Error 2

My understanding is stropts.h header file are part of the posix C lbrary and have been removed from glibc.

Is there any work around here to compile ACE properly?

This is due to changes in Ubuntu 20.04 which is recent, the ACE version you are using is old. Please upgrade to ACE 6.5.9 which you can download from github, that includes the necessary fix.

  • I proceeded as suggested above and installed ACE 6.5.9 I got this message ACE_TkReactor will not be built due to the following disabled make macros: tk ACE_XtReactor will not be built due to the following disabled make macros: x11 xt Any suggestion here – user3109124 May 14 '20 at 10:00
  • That are just informational messages, when you haven't explicitly enabled xt/x11 these reactors are not compiled – Johnny Willemsen May 14 '20 at 12:16
  • Thanks a lot for the above. One last question I dont seem to get QtReactor to compile. Qt5.9.5 is installed. This is the content of QtReactor folder -rw-r--r-- 1 ap1 ap1 522 May 1 16:01 ace_qt4reactor.mpc -rw-r--r-- 1 ap1 ap1 495 May 1 16:01 ace_qt5reactor.mpc -rw-r--r-- 1 ap1 ap1 2.2K May 1 16:01 ACE_QtReactor_export.h -rw-r--r-- 1 ap1 ap1 229 May 1 16:01 ACE_QtReactor.pc.in -rw-r--r-- 1 ap1 ap1 20K May 1 16:01 QtReactor.cpp -rw-r--r-- 1 ap1 ap1 7.7K May 1 16:01 QtReactor.h – user3109124 May 15 '20 at 14:50
