[omniORB] Re: Unix transport with static libraries error [patch]

[Arne Pajunen]

Hi,

I just found the patch most likely breaks windows builds, since they 
don't include the Unix transport (obviously). I corrected the patch by 
adding a ifdef around the OMNI_FORCE_LINK lines. Sorry about the confusion.

Best regards,
