[omniORB] omniORB-4.1.0 on solaris AMD 64-bit

[Stein-Ole Gabrielsen]

Hello,
I have made an attempt of compiling omniORB-4.1.0 on a Sun Fire X4600, 
with Solaris 10. So I need to compile for 64-bit Solaris x86 platform.

This is what I did:
1) Installed a 64-bit version of python-2.5 by running the ./configure 
script with these two options:
   i) CC=cc64 and CXX=CC64,  cc64 and CC64 is a path to sh scripts 
specifying how to execute cc and CC. (exec cc -xarch=generic64 $*)

2) After python was installed, I ran the omniORB ./configure script  
with the same options as for python and also specified the python 
executable I just had installed.

3) To be able to compile I had to modify the 
./include/omniORB/CORBA_sysdep.h.
    i) The line #if __SUNPRO_CC < 0x420 modified to #if __SUNPRO_CC < 
0x620, to enable the NEED_DUMMY_RETURN macro.

Have anyone else compiled omniORB for such a system and if anyone sees 
obvious mistakes I did, please comment. I haven't actually tested that 
the installation works. Does anyone know if there is some omniORB 
specified test suite I can use to verify my installation?
