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

[Marcus MacWilliam]

Duncan,

Thanks for the help, I have successfully built omniORB 4.1.6
on a Windows 7 machine, in 32-bit using Visual Studio 2010.

I have a couple of Notes, that it may be worth adding to the
README.win32.txt file, for building on Windows 7.

I effectively could not solve the problem of the build failure,
see my other post in reply to your e-mail. I spent a lot of time
trying to edit dir.mk files in an attempt to get the project to
successfully build.

So I deleted my attempt, re-extracted the omniORB-4.16
directory from the zip, and started again.

This time however I did 2 things differently:

1. I previously edited the config.mk and the x86_win32_vs_10.mk
using WordPad, as NotePad treated the entire file as a single line.
So I installed xemacs through Cygwin, and edited the files with
this instead.

I do not know if this made any difference to how the makefiles
were saved, whether or not WordPad added windows style EOL
characters which affected the make system?

2. I used the Security tab on Properties..., for the extracted
omniORB-4.1.6 directory to give myself 'Full Control' of the
directory and all it's sub-files and folders. I also made sure the
'Write' property was also set.

Running the 'make export' then successfully built the entire
structure correctly.

Thanks again,
