Dee Jay:
When we linked with our C++ application on Solaris (under SUNWspro), we
found that 'ar' was
insufficient: some of the classes/methods that were defined as templates
were causing
unresolved external errors in the link phase. What we did was, first,
rebuild Xerces under
CC. Then, rather than use 'ar', we did the following:
src $ cd ../obj
obj $ CC -xar libxerces-c1_4.a *.o
That wound up instantiating and compiling the template classes/functions
that were actually
used in the Xerces code, and then linking those definitions into the
resulting static lib.
Presto, unresolved link errors disappeared.
