[omniORB] Using omniORB libraries with Visual C++ 2003/7.1

[Jan Olderdissen]

Kelvin,

I've come up with the following procedure for doing this with 4.0.3:

-------------------------------
1. Install python 2.3.4
2. Install cygwin with at least make (not sure what else is needed)
3. untar omniORB tar.gz (tar xzf omniORB-4.0.3.tar.gz) to omniorb/main/src
4. untar omniORBpy tar.gz (tar xzf ../../../omniORBpy-2.3.tar.gz) to
omniorb/main/src/omniORB-4.0.3/src/lib
5. Cofigure sources as per readmes
6. Run vsvars32.bat from visual studio 7 (it's in Common7/Tools) from a DOS
box
7. Start up cygwin with \cygwin\bin\bash --login -i
8. CD to omniorb/main/src/omniORB-4.0.3/src
9. Run 'make export'
10. CD to omniorb/main/src/omniORB-4.0.3/src/lib/omniORBpy-2.3
11. Run 'make export'

Note:

If you run into this error when building omniorb

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `//c/python22/include/Python.h', needed
by `
idlpython.d'.  Stop.

Run 'rm tool/omniidl/cxx/*.d' to fix it. You'll run into this every time you
rebuild omniorb.
-------------------------------

The tricky bit is in steps 6 and 7.

Note that the unpatched 4.0.4 is a bit broken on Windows if memory serves.

Maks,

I found that you were able to build omniORB 4.0.4 from scretch in VC7?  I
have WinXP Pro with Visual Studio .NET 2003, and I'm having difficulty to
compile from src.  Would you be kind enough to give me some pointers?

I'm very new with omniORB and want to first at least get some examples to
compile.  Right now, nothing compile for me :-(

Thank.
Kelvin
