[omniORB] FreeBSD ported, but a build environment glitch

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Hi Russell,

Have a look at src/lib/omniORB2/sharedlib/dir.mk. We have a section
specific to each platform to build the omniORB2 runtime into a shared
library. The -fpic flag can be added like this:

DIR_CPPFLAGS += -fpic 

The same applies to omnithread.

I suppose what you are after is a general rule to build shared
library. There is none. We have thought about producing such a rule but the
way shared library are build on different platforms, especially on NT, are
so different that we gave up on the idea.

Try 'make veryclean'

Great! Looking forward to see your patch!

Regards,

Sai-Lai
