caeruleusaqua / omniorb-cmake Goto Github PK

I am so relieved to see someone actually do this.
Compiled so much more easily, and the results were much more useable.

So far just a couple of notes specific to building under recent mingw64(MSYS2 distro):

Unlike Vanilla Windows, mingw64 uses a default prefix:
/MSYS2/mingw64

Had to dig a couple of minutes to find some important but hidden settings:
OMNIORB_CONFIG_DEFAULT_LOCATION
OMNINAMES_LOG_DEFAULT_LOCATION

also adjusted codegen.cmake Line 29:
set(PATH_ENV PATH=\"${PATH_ENV}\")
to prevent

[  5%] Processing Naming.idl..
cmake -E env: no command given
/bin/sh: D:/Download/MinGW-64-souorce/omniORB-cmake-master/mingw64/bin: Is a directory
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/RunGenerator.dir/build.make:110: generated/lib/omniORB/omniORB4/Naming.hh] Error 126

(btw declaring PYTHONHOME is redundant as MSYS2-mingw64 python is already seated)
Overall looks great, I am going to refer this fork to the MSYS2 team.

Hello,
I just found this project when looking at https://www.omniorb-support.com/pipermail/omniorb-dev/2018-August/000322.html.

omniORB is available as a Conda package for Linux and OSX, but not for Windows: https://github.com/conda-forge/omniorb-feedstock
Using cygwin to build a Conda package isn't an option. This project seems to be exactly what is needed to be able to compile omniORB on Windows with Conda.

Have you had more exchange with the omniORB developers to integrate cmake upstream?
Do you plan on maintaining this fork? Is it a big effort?
