Compiling OmniORB4 with Clang++

Question

I'm learning Corba with OmniORB and try to compile simple example program but it doesn't work. Unfortunately is really hard to find some information how to do it.

What I do looks like:

1. I made simple interface file in idl directory

   interface IssueAlert {
     string sendAlert(in string alert);
   };
   

2. Compile it using omniidl -bcxx -Wbexamples echo.idl

3. I get result files and using examples made that code as a server app.

   #include "idl/echo.hh"
   #include <iostream>
   using namespace std;
   
   
   class IssueAlert_i : public POA_IssueAlert {
     public:
       IssueAlert_i();
       virtual ~IssueAlert_i();
       char* sendAlert(const char* alert);
   };
   
   IssueAlert_i::IssueAlert_i(){}
   IssueAlert_i::~IssueAlert_i(){}
   
   char* IssueAlert_i::sendAlert(const char* alert){
     cout << "Upcall: " << alert << endl;
     return CORBA::string_dup(alert);
   }
   
   //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
   
   int main(int argc, char** argv){
      try {
        CORBA::ORB_var          orb = CORBA::ORB_init(argc, argv);
        CORBA::Object_var       obj = orb->resolve_initial_references("RootPOA");
        PortableServer::POA_var poa = PortableServer::POA::_narrow(obj);
   
        PortableServer::Servant_var<IssueAlert_i> issue = new 
        IssueAlert_i();
   
        PortableServer::ObjectId_var issue_id = poa->activate_object(issue);
   
         // Obtain a reference to the object, and print it out as a
         // stringified IOR.
         obj = issue->_this();
         CORBA::String_var sior(orb->object_to_string(obj));
         cout << sior << endl;
   
         PortableServer::POAManager_var pman = poa->the_POAManager();
         pman->activate();
   
         // Block until the ORB is shut down.
         orb->run();
      }catch (CORBA::SystemException& ex) {
        cerr << "Caught CORBA::" << ex._name() << endl;
      }catch (CORBA::Exception& ex) {
        cerr << "Caught CORBA::Exception: " << ex._name() << endl;
      }
      return 0;
   }
   

4. To compile it i'm using command:

   clang++ -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -Wnarrowing -Wsign-conversion -lomniORB4 -lomnithread -lomniDynamic4 servant.cpp -I/usr/include -L/usr/lib64/ -o server
   

All OmniORB things installed by yum are in /usr/include and /usr/lib64. I get that error:

    clang-5.0: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Can someone help me with this compilation - unfortuantelly final project i want to do must use C++17 then best will be to stay with this compiler.

Solution found:

clang++ -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -Wnarrowing -Wsign-conversion -lomniORB4 -lomnithread -lomniDynamic4 servant.cpp idl/echoSK.cc -o server

It just require to add echoSK.cc into command.
