[omniORB] Re: OmniORB4 on Mac OSX

[William Noon]

Travis -- Have you really built OmniORB4 on OSX with just these changes?
Can you run the echo (eg2) example code?

I have been whacking at this quite a bit with a similar set of config 
changes but haven't been able to really run code.  The changes work
fine with OmniORB 3.0.4 (and the code runs).

If you are running v4, I may have to look at whether I have hosed my 
compiler tools.
