It is not clear from your message how exactly you build your programme (C=
++Builder IDE, Borland or GNU make?). However, the minimum set of defines=
 for dynamic link with=20
omniORB and omniNames to work should be "__x86__;NTArchitecture;_RTLDLL".

As for the missing library -- it is really a debug version. In the Borlan=
d-specific archives you have downloaded from my site debug versions of om=
niORB ddynamically-linked=20
libraries are missing (as well as static libraries). You may try to build=
 them with Borland command-line make utility from sources issueing "make =
-D_DEBUG -f lib.mak" in the=20
"<omni>/src/x86_bcc32/mk" directory. Or try to build omnithread_rtd.bpr, =
omniORB3_rtd.bpr, and omniDynamic3_rtd.bpr in "<omni>/src/x86_bcc32/ide" =
directory via=20
C++Builder IDE. Also mention, please, that I have not tested the _DEBUG b=
ranch thoroughly.

I have not looked at 3.0.4 yet but think it should be compatible with the=
 Borland port, though some of the 3.0.4 patches can be superseeded by Bor=
land patches.
