[omniORB] Fwd: How to make an application which is both an omniorb client and TAO server

[Sara Navarro]

I must use both omniORB and TAO because I have to make a "bridge" application 
between two systems, one running with a TAO architecture and the other with 
an omniORB one. Therefore I really have no choice. 

The errors I get are of this type:

/usr/include/omniORB3/CORBA.h:289: conflicting types for `typedef
   _CORBA_Boolean CORBA::Boolean'
/home/navarrols/MInI/ACE_wrappers/TAO/tao/corbafwd.h:643: previous declaration
   as `typedef u_char CORBA::Boolean'

I understand that  an application can be compiled against "either" omniORB or 
TAO, but what I really don't know is how to compile against both 
simultaneously, which is the basic requirement of my application. 
Thank you anyway.
