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

[Yura Smolsky]

Hello, Roland.

there is conflict between Python's module "types" and omniORB's module
"types". Internal modules of Python tries to import Python'n "types",
but they found module "types" in the omniORB directory and which they
import actually.

I have to hack a little internal modules to compile omniORB with
python2.4.

Duncan, you may investigate this problem :)

RG> Yes, Python works when called from the command line.
