problems compiling the omnithread sources

[Wolfgang Ruppel]

Bernd,

which Digital Unix release is running on your machine ?
Which omniORB version ?

If you're running Digital Unix 4.0, the pthread related defines might be wrong.
>From the pthread man page (Digital Unix 4.0):
The pthread routines are the DECthreads
implementation of the IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Pro-
gram Interface.  Note that POSIX Standard 1003.1c now supercedes the draft
standard 1003.4a.

I changed the Digital Unix 3.2 platform file as shown below in order to get
omniORB_2.2.0 compiled under Digital Unix 4.0:

mplex1: diff -c -r alpha_osf1_3.2.mk alpha_osf1_4.0.mk
*** alpha_osf1_3.2.mk   Thu May  8 18:57:56 1997
--- alpha_osf1_4.0.mk   Mon Jun  2 09:45:58 1997

Hope this helps,

Wolfgang
