Hi Jari,

  The mingw build modifies the original build procedure of omniORB, as it was 
used throughout the  omniORB-3.x series and which is still alive in 
omniORB-4.0.x

  So the new configure-based system doies noit work on MinGW, as you might 
have seen from your compiler output, it assumes a UNIX-like System (e.g it 
searches for .so files instead of .dll files...)

  You should stick to notes in README.win32 (especially the MINGW specific 
parts), which should guide you through the build procedure.

  Best regards,

     Wolfgang
