[omniORB] omniORB 3.0 on WinNT

[Rosimildo DaSilva]

I have tried, but it did NOT work either:

Environment:
    Windows NT 4, SP4,   Visual C++ 6.0 ( SP2 applied)


    Cygwin 20.1, GCC 2.95

I have tried both compilers, and none worked.

Here is the error:

The interesting thing is the output of corbaidl_defs.hh:

This file seems very strange, and both compilers fail to parse this file
properly :)
