[omniORB] Static-linking in Visual C++

[Sven Eklund]

Hello!

I have a static-built application I want to use with omniORB. I can get
it compile correctly with omniORB in DLL-version, but if I change to
compile with omniORB2.lib and omnithread.lib (static versions) and set
_WINSTATIC-macro I get the following link-errors:

I have tested to use "/NODEFAULTLIB:xxx", adding libcmt and so on, but
I'm always get a couple of similiar errors.

It looks like the omniorb-libs need msvcrt/msvcirt which, if I have
understood things right, not should be used if you want a static-linked
program.

Have anyone else succedded to compile a static-linked omniORB enabled
MFC Windows-application in VC++ 5.0? 

Any ideas what I can do, except to use dll-versions of omniORB-libs?

I will also say that I'm very impressed of omniORB. It seems to have
very good performance and seems also stable. I'm using omniORB with Win
95/NT, Solaris 2.6 (Intel) and AIX 4.1 (AIX just tested, with good
result).
