[omniORB] MinGW omniORB install

[Nicholas Wong]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to get omniORB installed on my WindowsXP box using MinGW. I have installed MSYS and MinGW and Eclipse is running great using those tools. I have Python24 installed on my machine as well with no problems.


I tried to follow this guide to compile omniORB.
http://www.cmiss.org/cmgui/mozcmgui/OmniORB

And I get the following errors:

make[3]: Entering directory `/d/workspaces/Tools/omniORB-4.0.6/src/tool/omkdepen

After looking at the c file it seems like the #ifdef Win32 statements are calling functions that aren't in MinGW.

What can be done?

Thanks!

It will probably work to simply prevent it from building omkdepend in
the src/tool/dir.mk makefile. It is only building it because it thinks
you are using a Unix platform rather than Windows.
