[George Liu] 
Thanks for answering my question. I really appreciated your help. I
located all the four manifest files and copied them to bin\x86_win32
directory, and I'm a step forward.

Now the msvcr80.dll error went away, but a new one appeared when
Makefile is running
Omniidl -bcxx -Wbh=.hh -Wbs=SDK.cc -Wba -p..\..\..\src\lib\omniORB2
-ComniORB3 ..\..\..\idl\Naming.idl

An unhandled win32 exception occurred in omniidl.exe [3108]

Launching debugger doesn't help much. It just 
Unhandled exception at 0x.... in omniidl.exe 0x....: Access violation
writing location 0x....


More hint?
Thanks
George




Alternatively, MSVC8
