[omniORB] Building a DLL

[Ulf Stoermer]

Hi,

in the header file omniORB4/CORBA_sysdep.h I found following
comment (I guess written by Sai Lai) and it worked for me:

// To package stubs into dlls:
//   1. Define the cpp macro _OMNIORB_STUB_DLL when the stub _SK.cc is
//      compiled.
//   2. A .def file has to be created to export the symbols in the dll.
//      The .def file can be generated automatically based on the output
//      of dumpbin. For an example, look at how the omniORB2 dll is created.
//
// To use stubs that has been packaged into dlls:
//   1. Make sure that the cpp macro USE_stub_in_nt_dll is defined before
//      the stub header (.hh) is included.
//
// Use _OMNIORB_NTDLL_IMPORT to ensure that MSVC++ use the correct linkage
// for constants and variables exported by a DLL.

Cheers

Ulf
