Hello,

When trying to compile omniorb 4.3.4 on Windows with Visual Studio 2022, I =
got the following error:

It looks like newer versions of MSVC don=92t tolerate -Fd<dir>\.
We have to pass a real PDB filename.

I applied the attached patch (doing the same as for static).
Could you please confirm this is the correct thing to do?

Thanks

Benjamin
