Wed Dec 2 14:35:41 EST 1998 xpidl depends on Andrew Veliath and Elliot Lee's libIDL, a part of the GNOME ORBit C ORB. We currently require libIDL >= 0.5.7, which in turn requires glib >= 1.1.5. libIDL builds for Linux and Win32 can be found, along with source tarballs, at http://www.rpi.edu/~veliaa/libIDL/, and Win32 users will need glib 1.1 and glib 1.1-dev from http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/. There are currently no Makefiles for Windows, but people _are_ building on this platform, so hopefully they'll check their magic in soon.
