Yep - I also failed at that point.  I only got as far as testing the ORB
core at the weekend.  I have done some more work, and the dynamic and
orbcore libraries now compile.  Get it from CVS after tonight's merge.

That is correct.  For the moment I am able to get round this by linking
with the dynamic library also.

Yes -- you should be able to link to libomniORB* without linking to
libomniDynamic*.  However, this doesn't seem to work at the mo'.


So, I can build the libraries and the echo examples.  However, they don't
appear to work!!  Some unknown exception is being thrown in eg1.exe, but
when I remove the catch clause it seg faults.  I'll investigate further
tomorrow...

We'll get there eventually!
