After ungzip-tar, the configure and the make in objdir succeeded. Trying to do a make in the gperf directory under apps fails with below :

I could not find this file "platform_macros.GNU" anywhere in the source tree ? Appreciate some help.
You have to create the platform_macros.GNU file, see the free CORBA Programmers Guide chapter 19 for more information how to compile ACE.
