[omniORB] omniORB4 and Visual Studio .NET

[Lionel Gilet]

I am trying to compile omniORB4 using Visual Studio .NET.

If I follow the instructions in the readme file, the build fails right
away.
I had to make several additions to the include, lib and path environment
variables.
I also had to comment out a couple of lines in config.h of Python in
order to remove a redeclaration of intptr_t that was conflicting with
previous declaration.
At this point omniidl and omnithread build with minor warnings.
The problem is that when the script uses omniidl for the first time it
crashes with the classic memory violation exception.
omniidl.exe - Application Error
The instruction "0x77f83941" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The
memory could not be "written".

This occurs during the step where it is trying to compile
omni/idl/bootstrap.idl.

Any idea what's wrong there?

Thank you

Lionel
