[omniORB] problems building omniORB3.0 on OpenVMS.7.2

[Adam Dorosz]

Hi all ,

I can't build omniORB3.0. on Open VMs 7.2 with cxx 6.1.
I successfully built python ( it passed all tests, althought I had some
problems during instalation), but  following error occurs when building
omni:

Linking OMNIIDL.EXE...
%LINK-W-NOSUCHMOD, module CONFIG_INITTAB not found
        in library

I had some problems when buiding python - maybe it's why I can't build
omni now:
1. names of all python libraries have suffixes _0T.olb - omni tries to
use *_D0T.olb . I had to change it in .opt file. I built python with
noDebug, Thread options, but maybe I missed something more ?
2. There where some problems building python THREAD module - I
redefined use of Posix Pthread standard from PY_PTHREAD_D4
to PY_PTHREAD_STD in thread_pthread.h file because of compile errors.
After it python built well and it passed all tests.

TIA,
Adam
