[omniORB] linker errors building omniORB_280pre1 on NT 4.0

[Lars Immisch]

Hi,

I get linker errors when I try to build the omniORB_280pre1 on NT 4.0.
Specifically, building src/lib/omniORB2/orbcore/sharedlib fails with:

making export in src/lib/omniORB2/orbcore/sharedlib...
(libs="wsock32.lib advapi32.lib omnithread2_rt.lib"; \
         rm -f omniORB280_rt.dll; \

And then follow 322 more unresolved externals and finally:

omniORB280_rt.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 323 unresolved externals

I must admit I am somewhat lost in the makefiles...

I have successfully used my build setup with omniORB_2.7.1, and I have
made sure that the path to $(SORT) is set correctly.

Thanks in advance,
