[omniORB] Using pre-ISO C++ compiler to build omniorb 4.0

[Olivier Boudeville]

Hi everybody,

thanks Duncan for your help, I nevertheless encountered a small 
compilation problem. Here are all the details :

* what I made (on aSunOS 5.6 Generic_105181-20 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60) :

cd <my path>/omniORB-4.0.0
 ../omniORB-4.0.0-src/configure --prefix=<my path>/omniORB-4.0.0 CXX="CC 
-compat=4"
alias make='makeGNU'
make

* what happened :
...
make[3]: Entering directory `<my path>/omniORB-4.0.0/src/lib/omniORB'
../../../bin/omniidl -bcxx -Wba 
-p../../../../omniORB-4.0.0-src/src/lib/omniORB -Wbdebug -v -ComniORB4 
../../../../omniORB-4.0.0-src/idl/bootstrap.idl


omniidl: ERROR!

omniidl: Could not open IDL compiler module _omniidlmodule.so
omniidl: Please make sure it is in directory <my path>/omniORB-4.0.0/lib
omniidl: (or set the PYTHONPATH environment variable)

omniidl: (The error was 'ld.so.1: <a path>//Python-1.5.2/python: fatal: 
relocation error: file <my path>/omniORB-4.0.0/lib/_omniidlmodule.so: 
symbol _pure_error_: referenced symbol not found')

make[3]: *** [omniORB4/bootstrap.hh] Error 1

* I checked :

 > ls -s  <my path>/omniORB-4.0.0/lib/_omniidl*
lrwxrwxrwx   <my path>/omniORB-4.0.0/lib/_omniidlmodule.so -> 
_omniidlmodule.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx   <my path>/omniORB-4.0.0/lib/_omniidlmodule.so.1 -> 
_omniidlmodule.so.1.0
-rw-r--r--    <my path>/omniORB-4.0.0/lib/_omniidlmodule.so.1.0

Is it that my Python is too old ? I don't think so since configure did 
not complain.

Thanks in advance for any help,
kind regards,

Olivier.
