Subject: An XML::Xerces Support Question

Jason,
Are you still the guiding light and driving force behind XML::Xerces at
apache.org or have you moved on to another project? I sent an e-mail
to [email protected] on 6/15/06 about problems trying to build
XML::Xerces using perl V5.8.2 under AIX V5.3 and I re-sent the same
e-mail 7/27/06, but, as yet, have not received a reply. Admittedly,
I'm an open-source neophyte, and may, by accident, not have followed the
correct procedure.
That was the correct thing to do! It was my fault - because the list
is configured to hold all messages from non-subscribers until I
approve them. Your messages didn't get approved in time, and so they
were discarded - again, my bad...
Can you tell me if [email protected] is the correct e-mail
account to which to send requests for assistance with XML::Xerces and
whether support is still available for this software -- specific
software versions and other details are listed below.
Yes and yes!
I am having problems compiling XML::Xerces under AIX V5.3 and would
welcome any assistance you can offer. However, Xerces-C compiles
successfully in this environment and I've successfully tested the
DOMCount and SAXCount Xerces-C samples.
Under AIX V5.2 there were a couple of issues to address (see end of
e-mail), but after some trial and error, I was able to compile, link and
test XML::Xerces successfully. The versions of GNU make, Xerces-C,
XML::Xerces, VisualAge C/C++ are the same, but the version of perl on
the AIX V5.2 box is 5.8.0, whereas it is 5.8.2 on the AIX V5.3 box.
Nice! Glad to hear it's working using xlc finally.
AIX V5.2 Work-arounds used: (probably not elegant solutions but
worked!):
"Xerces.cpp", line 1901.79: 1540-0256 (S) A parameter of type "int *"
cannot be initialized with an expression of type "bool *".
Changing line 1901 from "bool*" to "int*" allowed the compilation to
continue.
Used LD=xlC_r in the Makefile (created by running perl Makefile.PL) to
get successful link.
yes, the problem with bool is due to SWIG. I built it on linux, where
bool is int on gcc.
I'll see what I can do to make these automatic on AIX.
You mentioned support. Is there anything more that you are looking for?
Cheers, jas.
