compiling idl file on unix

hi
i need to compile idl files to convert them to classes, on Unix platform. Please tell me how to compile these files & which commands are to be used for this purpose.
Thanks & Regards

If these are Interface Definition Language files from Windows, then it won't work.

If you are trying to port Windows code to UNIX you may want to look at a Linux list of HOWTO's to find exactly what you are trying to to. Porting from Windows can be fiarly simple if you know where you are trying to go. Even though you aren't on Linux a lot of the apps and tools are available to you from freshmeat or gnu:

You know - this is a forum - where we cannot see what you have or what you're doing. Consider giving us all the facts up front instead of having to pull them out one bit at a time. This will save you a lot of frsutration. And time.

Yes, CORBA has idl files.

If they want you to develop a server, you're going to have to be much more specific, unless what you have will already create a server. Which I doubt. Since guessing doesn't work please enlighten us. Facts help.

Simple.you need to have a idl compiler.
idl options sourec.idl

sorry to say but my system does not have idl2cpp or idl2java installed on it. could you tell me from where can i get them.

hi Jim

what i have is only 100 idl files. and i have been asked to develop a corba server & client system. whatever needed would have to be arranged.
