Porting omniORB 2.4.0 to HP 10.20

[Paul Nader]

Wolfgang,

Have a look in /opt/dce/include for pthreads.h. If you don't have that 
directory in your machine you might need to install it from the DCE-CORE
fileset.

Regards, Paul.

PS : I managed to compile omniORB 2.0.4 using aCC but for some reason
     any executable linked with libomniORB2.sl core dumps... During
     the compilation process I also got quite a few warning messages 
     about depricated construct and also quite a few of these :

Error (future) 641: "../../../include/omniORB2/bufferedStream.h", line 1494 # Undeclared variable 'NP_data'. Did you forget to make the variable dependent on
    the template type parameters so it would be looked up when templates are generated?
            ((_CORBA_ULong*)NP_data())[i+1] = Swap32(tl1);
                            ^^^^^^^            


     At the end of the build it states that the binary is not guaranteed to
     work (possibly the cause of the core dumps).

     I also had to remove the -ldir flag from the makefile because HP 10.20
     does not have it.

     In short, I managed to build it but it's a mess... So I'm back to using
     omniBroker which is much easier to build and is directly supported on
     HPUX.
