[omniORB] Problem with IDL to C++

[Swapnil Wale]

Hi Duncan,
          I did download the 4.1.0 development snapshot. But I am unable to
build it on XP. Below is the message which I get.

I have no idea where I am going wrong. I have followed the directions given
in the document. Can you help me out of this?

Thank you

Try the omniORB 4.1.0 development snapshot from here:

  http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/snapshots/omniORB-4.1-latest.tar.gz

It will accept your IDL. RMI-IIOP has a nasty habit of generating
invalid IDL, so you may find that it complains about other IDL, though.

Cheers,

Duncan.
