[sword-devel] SWORDWeb / MacOSX

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Greg,

The ultimate goal is to get Java to talk to the C++ backend, so just the 
Java component alone is not useful.

Regarding the backend, did you supply an appropriate --prefix for MacOSX 
when configuring orbitcpp?  It should be relative to where ORBit was 
installed.  Have you done a 'make install' on orbitcpp?  What fails and 
where?  There is a --backenddir option available on the idl compiler, so 
maybe we can pass this if the paths aren't working well on the mac.

Hope this helps.

	-Troy.
