[omniORB] AIX again: AIX4.3, omniORB4, xlC5, scoping problem?

[Rainer Frohnhoefer]

  Hi,

after spending some time trying to get omniORB4 to compile with xlc5 on  
AIX, I ended up with a method signature problem:

[snip, rest of errors similar to above]

  Having spent too much time with Java, I'm not really into C++. Could  
it be that a) I hit a problem with scopes in the source code or b)  
xlC5.0 is buggy in this regard or c) I'm doing something fundamentally  
wrong?

  I played a bit with xlC switches of the "-qlanglvl=<level>:<feature>"  
variety but this didn't help.

  Or did someone even manage to build omniORB4 with AIX4.3 and xlC5?


  Any hints appreciated,
