All,<br>
<br>
Background: In 2002, using OmniORB 4.0.0 we wrote a<br>
CORBA Server for a customer in America, running on an<br>
NT 4 machine. It has been running nicely now for 10+ years.<br>
<br>
They have recently got in contact, and want us to update<br>
to Windows 7. Our Native dll is built on Windows 7 in 32-bit,<br>
using Visual Studio 10, so hopefully it is not too bad a job to <br>
upgrade.<br>
<br>
I have downloaded OmniORB 4.1.6 from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/omniorb/files/omniORB/omniORB-4.1.6/omniORB-4.1.6-win64-vc10-py27.zip/download">
here</a>.<br>
I have downloaded Python 2.7.3 from <a href="http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.msi">
here</a>.<br>
<br>
I have setup an environment, with VS10 in x86 (32-bit) mode.<br>
<br>
I am trying to build the required modules, which in the makefile<br>
calls omniidl to generate the stubs:<br>
<br>
Running command: C:\omniORB-4.1.6\bin\x86_win32\omniidl -bcxx -C\\gothic-samba\gothic\src\gijeprog\win7-devt -Wbh=_s.h -Wbs=_s.cpp \\gothic-samba\gothic\src\gijeprog\win7-devt\OO-Toolkit.idl<br>
<br>
This fails with a system error, saying it cannot locate and<br>
load python27.dll. However this dll is not supplied in either<br>
the omniorb-4.1.6 directory, or the python27 directory.<br>
<br>
Can anyone explain why omniidl needs a dll that does not come<br>
with either the ORB package, or the version of Python.<br>
<br>
Can anyone suggest how I resolve this issue.<br>
<br>
This is fairly urgent, so any help is greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
