+If users are building from our <a

+GNUmakefiles, and project files for building on various platforms will
+not be available. Users from anon cvs are expected to generate them

+CIAO. We point out some suggestions below to get bootstrapped
+quickly.

+  <LI>Please make sure that you have <a href="http://www.perl.org">
+  perl</a> installed, preferably perl 
+  5.8 or higher. Users on Win32 based platforms are recommended to use
+  <a href="http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/"> Active
+  State Perl </a>. We use active state perl without problems. We have
+  ran into problems trying to use the cygwin version of perl on Win32

+    <LI> Build ACE and TAO seperately. ACE needs to be built first and
+  instructins for building ACE are available at <a
+  href="../ACE-INSTALL.html#MPC"> ACE-INSTALL </a>. GNUmakefiles and
+  project files for TAO can be generated by using the following
+  commands:<p> 
+    <CODE> $ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl TAO.mwc </CODE> <p>
+   from <CODE> $TAO_ROOT </CODE> to generate GNUmakefiles. Use <CODE>
+  -type vc6 </CODE> or <CODE>-type vc71</CODE> to generate VC6 and
+  VC71 project and solution files.<p>
+   <LI> Build ACE+TAO together in one shot. To do that please issue
+  the following commands: <p>
+  <CODE> $ACE_ROOT/bin/mwc.pl TAOACE.mwc </CODE> <p>
+   from <CODE> $TAO_ROOT </CODE>. This will generate GNUmakefiles for
+  ACE, gperf, and core ACE+TAO libraries. Issuing a
+  <CODE>'make'</CODE> from <CODE>$TAO_ROOT </CODE> will build all of
+  the above in one shot. You can use <CODE> -type vc6 </CODE> to
+  generate VC6 project and workspace files. <CODE>TAOACE.dsw</CODE>
+  can be used by users to build ACE+TAO from a single workspace
+  file. USers can use <CODE> -type vc71 </CODE> to generate the VC71
+  solutions files. <p>
