Devs,
I have fixed the issues raised by Chris on the tag and the svn head.
I would package the artifacts again and test. Please kindly test the
1.0.0 tag in the mean time and report any issues.
Thanks,
Samisa...

Please test, review and vote on the release artifacts for Apache
Axis2/C 1.0.0 release.
If you can bear with me for a few days, I'll try to do a bit more
testing, but here are a few initial notes:
First, the include files look so nice and clean! Thank you! On
first glance the library filenames, httpd config directives, and
general layout seem clean and clear -- again, thank you!
Second, I thought I might revise the main INSTALL and configure files a
little to explain certain parameters to configure a bit better. In
particular, the --with-apr and --with-apache2 options mostly don't mention
what kind of path they take: to the "prefix" that was used to install those
packages? To their lib directories? In fact, they both take paths to the
include directories of those packages.
I can't remember if Axis2/C actually needs anything except the httpd
include files ... maybe not. I can't see anything offhand that ldd
shows as having links to their libraries. That would be easier, if true!
(If anything does link against their libraries, though, I think the
Axis2/C configure script might need to get paths for both their include
and library directories. For example, if someone installs httpd using
its --enable-layout option (see the config.layout file in the httpd source
package for details), they have a lot of control over where the
libraries end up: not necessarily in $prefix/lib, next to $prefix/include.
Anyway, my dim memory is that, in fact, Axis2/C doesn't link against
the APR and httpd libraries, so all of this is moot.)
The INSTALL file does explain that --with-apr takes the include
path for APR, however, it doesn't say the same thing about the
--with-apache2 option.
And if you run ./configure --help, you just get:
--with-apache2=PATH use apache2 as server transport.
--with-apr=PATH use apr.
Compare with the following from APR-util configure --help:
--with-berkeley-db=PATH
Find the Berkeley DB header and library in 'PATH/include' and
'PATH/lib'. If PATH is of the form 'HEADER:LIB', then search
for header files in HEADER, and the library in LIB. If you omit
the '=PATH' part completely, the configure script will search
for Berkeley DB in a number of standard places.
So if you can wait a few days, I can edit these a little bit
(or someone else can, of course!)
For example, I was able to successfully build Axis2/C with the
following:
CFLAGS=-I$PREFIX/package/include LDFLAGS=-L$PREFIX/package/lib \
./configure --enable-tests \
--prefix=/tmp/chrisd_build/axis2c \
--with-apr=$PREFIX/package/include/apr-1 \
--with-apache2=$PREFIX/package/include/apache2
Next, the samples ./configure script and INSTALL files should
explain that they need the full path to the Axis2/C include directories,
or else they should append the axis2-1.0 subdirectory automatically.
(BTW, thanks for that versioned subdir!) The ./configure --help
option just says:
--with-axiom=PATH use axiom.
--with-axis2_util=PATH use axis2_util.
Also, the main INSTALL file (not the samples one) says:
To build the samples:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/axis2c/lib/
cd samples
./configure --prefix=${AXIS2C_HOME}
--with-axis2_util=${AXIS2C_HOME}/include
--with-axiom=${AXIS2C_HOME}/include
Here's what I had to use to successfully build the samples; note
the axis2-1.0 subdirectories:
LDFLAGS=-L/tmp/chrisd_build/axis2c/lib \
./configure --prefix=/tmp/chrisd_build/axis2c \
--with-axis2_util=/tmp/chrisd_build/axis2c/include/axis2-1.0 \
--with-axiom=/tmp/chrisd_build/axis2c/include/axis2-1.0
Again, if you can wait a few days, I can edit these, or someone
else can certainly tackle it.
Third, the "make check" option isn't quite working right yet,
I think. Running in the source package, you get a segfault right
away unless you have AXIS2C_HOME=/path/to/source/axis2c/package.
(I tried running "make install" and then setting AXIS2C_HOME
to point to the installation location, but it doesn't seem to like
that; you need to pointing to the source package.) The INSTALL
file suggests you'll need AXIS2C_HOME=/path/to/install/axis2c/package
but I'm not sure that's correct.
With it set, more of the tests run fine, but I'm getting a segfault
on test/core/clientapi/test_clientapi. It occurs within the call
to axis2_svc_client_set_options(svc_client, env, options) somewhere
in test_clientapi.c. That's as far I'm likely to get for a day or
so, I fear.
But, overall, looking really nice! Thanks again,
Chris.
