[omniORB] RE: Linker issues with Borland 5

[Andrew George]

Thanks for the reply, Olivier.

I gave that a try but got the following:
Borland Implib Version 3.0.22 Copyright (c) 1991, 2000 Inprise Corporation
Name: 'omniORB412_vc8_rt' Ext: '.dll' Base: 0x00000000
Name: 'OMNIORB412_VC8_RT.DLL' Ext: '.dll' Base: 0x00000000
Error omniORB412_vc8_rt.def(4): Invalid character in .DEF file

The problem seems to be that the OmniORB4 DLLs contain mangled/decorated
symbols. I can generate Borland import libraries for omniORB4.dll and
omnitthread.dll, but the symbols in that are also mangled, hence the
disconnect between the undecorated function calls in the source and the
mangled ones in the import library.

Thanks,

Andy

Happy Canada Day, by the way.

Hi,

Here is our workaround to produce Borland LIB flavour from MSVC dlls

impdef -a Target.def Target.dll
implib Target_B.lib Target.def

It may also work with Omni. I never try it for Omni DLL.

Best regards

P.S. if you need one of those exe, send an email, I will reply to you

Hello All,

 

I'm trying to compile and link OmniOrb4 using Borland 5 on Windows XP.

The compilation is fine, but the linker complains it can't find the
following symbols.

 

omni_thread::init_t( )

_omniFinalCleanup:: _omniFinalCleanup( )

CORBA::TRANSIENT::~TRANSIENT( )

CORBA::SystemExcepton::~SystemException 

CORBA:: Excepton::~ Exception

Omni::releaseObjectRef( . )

CORBA::ORB_init( )

Item::_narrow( )

CORBA::Object::_PR_magic

CORBA::use_nil_ptr_as_nil_objref( )

 

I've tried using both coff2omf and implib -a to generate usable Borland
libraries for the omniORB4.dll and omnithread.dll. 

I still get the same link errors, however. Examining the libs generated with
Tdump shoes me symbols which still appear to be mangled.

 

Any suggestions on what I'm missing? 

 

Thanks,

 

Andy
