[omniORB] RegQueryValueEx failed - error 109

[Mark Gabriel Paylaga]

Hello All,

I'm going to answer my own question because it seems nobody has encountered
this problem, and the mailing list is so quiet.

Steve suggested to me to recompile the src\tools\win32. So that's what I
did and I copied the .exe files generated to bin\x86_win32.
I then compiled all the omniORB and get the RegQueryValueEx error.

The reason for this is when you check  the src\tools\win32\bccwrapper.c in
the void GetMounts(void) function,
it looks for this path in the registry (check regedit):
Software\\Cygnus Solutions\\CYGWIN.DLL setup\\b15.0\\mounts\\%02X.

When I checked that using regedit, I noticed that in the mounts->00, 01,
02, 03 etc.. keys, there are no 'unix' and 'native' string values inside
those keys.
So I decided to delete all the keys and retained just the 00 and added a
'unix' and 'native' string value.
After which, I recompiled the src\tools\win32 and copied over the created
.exe files to bin\x86_win32 and finally when I recompiled all the omniOrb,
it started compiling (need to copy the ssl libs too) and finished
successfully.

I really don't even know how the following got into my registry:
Software\\Cygnus Solutions\\CYGWIN.DLL setup\\b15.0\\mounts\\%02X.

Best regards,
Mark
