[dear ros-dev developers, i'm "on-list" but have "receive postings disabled" because i have far too much on my plate to deal with right now. i'm sorry i haven't got back to people]
saveliy, hi,
you asked if freedce is useable: the answer is yes [with conditions].
freedce is the _reference_ implementation from http://opengroup.org/dce.
and it is autoconf'd.
therefore, asking "is it fully featured" the answer is it _is_ the features :) :)
now.
microsoft "embraced and extended" DCE/RPC actually the 1.1 reference implementation because it's OSF 1.1 Free Software BSD-Compatible license... what am i doing, what am i doing, see this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSRPC
:)
i've added certain "missing" features to freedce and it's now on-wire compatible and IDL-compatible with MSRPC.
what it _doesn't_ yet do is output MSRPC-binary-compatible stuff which people are referring to on wine lists as "type libraries".
hope this helps.
