Hello omniORBers,

I have just completed building omniORB_280pre1 with Compaq C++ 6.2
(formerly DEC C++) on OpenVMS Alpha 7.1.

When I tried to compile src/lib/omniORB2/dynamic/bootstrapDynSK.cc, I
got:

  _0RL_buildDesc_cstring(_newdesc,
(*((_CORBA_Unbounded_Sequence__String*)_desc-
>opq_seq))[_index]);
...................................^
%CXX-W-REFTEMPORARY, initial value of reference to non-const must be an
          lvalue
at line number 36 in file
OMNIROOT:[OMNIORB_280PRE1.SRC.LIB.OMNIORB2.DYNAMIC]BOOTSTRAPDYNSK.CC;1

I believe the compiler is correct, so I've included a patch.

After applying this patch (and some modifications to the makefiles that
I'll publish in a seperate post) I was able to build the entire tree
with no additional problems.  eg1 and eg3 (using a 2.7.0 omniNames
server) work.

Good job!

BTW, is the testsuite that used to reside in
src/tests/omniORB2_testsuite no longer supported?  If so then we should
remove this from the VMS distribution.

Unfortunately, it looks like porting 280pre1 to DEC C++ 5.6 is going to
take some work.
