[omniORB] Problems compiling omni4_0_develop

[Marc Ordinas i Llopis]

Hi all,

I'm sending this message here as I don't know where else I can get help 
on this. I'm trying to compile omni4_0_develop as I wanted to try the 
new codeset features, but I get lots of problems.

My development system is RedHat 7 with the last compiler (which works 
compiling omniORB 3.0.2) and python 2.0 on an Athlon.

Just out of CVS, after editing config.mk and i586_linux_2.0_glibc2.1.mk, 
I try make export in src/. It all goes well until it gets to the 
omniORB2 directory, where it complains it does not have a 'dir.mk' file. 
I change dir.mk in src/lib to set the subdirs to 'omnithread' and 
'omniORB' instead of 'omniORB2', as per the update.log I think omniORB2 
is no longer used.

Then it complains that omniORB/ does not have a GNUmakefile, so I copy 
all the GNUmakefiles from the omniORB2/ dir tree. That seems to work 
just until it tries to generate the stubs for some files, when python 
fails (this also happened with python 1.5.2, by the way). It says:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/marc/codi/omni/src/lib/omniORB'

I've tried anything I've been able to think of to get it to include 
defs, but even as I can import it in an interactive session, I'm unable 
to make it work.

And by the way, I think there's an error in src/lib/omniORB/dir.mk, some 
files are not prepended the directory omniORB4. Here's the diff :

Index: dir.mk
