[omniORB] Newbie: Compiling problems omniORB-4.0.5 using Cygwin, WinXP, MS VC7.0

Wed Feb 16 14:00:47 GMT 2005

Hello, Roland.

I think you need to start vcvars32.bat or somehow add path to MSVC++
link program, so link program from MS VC++ will be used.

I had problem that vcvars32.bat did not add PATH and other VC
variables to the environment. And I had to add them manually.

RG> On the danger of making a fool of myself, I still don't seem to be able
RG> to compile omniORB properly.

RG> As Duncan suggested, I downloaded the latest omniORB tar ball, 
RG> omniORB-4.0-latest.tar.gz, removed all previous copies on my hard drive
RG> and then set out to install it. This the compilation process stops at
RG> the linking of omnicpp.exe. Please see below for the output and error
RG> messages during this attempt.

RG> I also tried what Yura had suggested but it didn't seem to make any
RG> difference, at least not to the current problem.

RG> Any ideas what I should try next are appreciated.

RG> Thanks,
RG> Roland
