Tom, you were working on getting C++ sources to build in our osf/1
build environment, from what I remember.

Do you have any thoughts on this?  Thanks...	-josh

Hi Josh,
	Sean suggested I let you know about this.  I have to do
quite a bit of hackery to get a C++ source file compiled into
a binary under ODE.

	It seems like we should go ahead and add C++ default
object file and binary file rules to the ODE default rule set,
or makefile, or whatever is needed.

Thoughts?

John

My task was to make a C++ kit usable under ODE & my testing was rather
simplistic and command line based.  I've not delved into the details
of how the kit is actually used in the builds.  The X11 and CDE pools
use it quite a bit, so perhaps some ideas can be borrowed from there.
However, since there are significant build differences in these trees,
I'm not sure how much will apply.  You might want to talk to someone
in the CDE group, since they probably have the most experience using
it.  Sorry I can't be of much more help than that.  As mentioned
before, John is breaking new ground using C++ in the base OS, so I
think some of this will have to be trial & error.
