Someone successfully compiled omniORB 2.8 on SINIX. As far as I know,
nobody has tried with omniORB 3.0 or 4.0, so it's not a particular
surprise that it doesn't work. When I wrote the new omniidl, and made
a suitable version of cccp, I made some config headers for a few
platforms I didn't have access to, in the off chance that they would
work. The one for SINIX clearly didn't...

Have you tried configuring with the Autoconf configure script?
There's a small possibility that that will work. Most likely, though,
you're going to have to figure out the right things to do to get it to
compile. You might try adding #include <strings.h> to config-sinix.h.

Cheers,

Duncan.
