[omniORB] Can't build omniORB 4.2.2 with Visual Studio 2017

[Dalecki, Janusz]

Hi,
I am having trouble to generate OmniORB dlls and libs.
I am running it on Windows 7 Dell Laptop platform 64bit version with Visual Studio 2017 community edition.
I have downloaded omniORB 4.2.2, Cygwin64 and Python 36_32
After following instructions from README.win32.txt:

*        setting platform = x86_win32_vs_15 in config.mk,

*        PYTHON = /cygdrive/c/Python/Python36-32 in x86_win32_vs_15.mk

*        set path=%path%;c:\cygwin64\bin;C:\Python\Python36-32"
... this is an output from the Visual Studio 2017 console after following above steps. I am not sure whether the final error "error C2006: '#include': expected a filename, found 'identifier'" is caused by an earlier "Command not found" error or they are independent. I can't find anything useful on Internet:
