[omniORB] Building on Windows 7 for 32-bit ...

[Marcus MacWilliam]

All,

OK I found the python27.dll in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64
directory, which suggests both OmniORB and Python are
the 64-bit versions.

I need 32-bit versions, as omniidl now errors with a
"Failed to start correctly" message when I add the above
directory to my PATH.

I am using the downloaded ZIP file, because when I downloaded
the complete source, and attempted to build on my machine I got:

C:\omniORB\src>make export
making export in src/tool...
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/omniORB/src/tool'

All,

Background: In 2002, using OmniORB 4.0.0 we wrote a
CORBA Server for a customer in America, running on an
NT 4 machine. It has been running nicely now for 10+ years.

They have recently got in contact, and want us to update
to Windows 7. Our Native dll is built on Windows 7 in 32-bit,
using Visual Studio 10, so hopefully it is not too bad a job to
upgrade.

I have downloaded OmniORB 4.1.6 from here<http://sourceforge.net/projects/omniorb/files/omniORB/omniORB-4.1.6/omniORB-4.1.6-win64-vc10-py27.zip/download>.
I have downloaded Python 2.7.3 from here<http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.msi>.

I have setup an environment, with VS10 in x86 (32-bit) mode.

I am trying to build the required modules, which in the makefile
calls omniidl to generate the stubs:

Running command: C:\omniORB-4.1.6\bin\x86_win32\omniidl -bcxx -C\\gothic-samba\gothic\src\gijeprog\win7-devt -Wbh=_s.h -Wbs=_s.cpp \\gothic-samba\gothic\src\gijeprog\win7-devt\OO-Toolkit.idl

This fails with a system error, saying it cannot locate and
load python27.dll. However this dll is not supplied in either
the omniorb-4.1.6 directory, or the python27 directory.

Can anyone explain why omniidl needs a dll that does not come
with either the ORB package, or the version of Python.

Can anyone suggest how I resolve this issue.

This is fairly urgent, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
