I'm in the process of porting Tuscany C++ to Mac OSX continuing the work that Oisin started. Axis2C does not have an OSX port yet (Oisin's supplied patch has not been applied) and I've been having a few problems building their code which are probably simple to solve but I want to focus on getting the Tuscany core ported.
I would like to remove the dependency on Axis2C and make it optional. For SDO this would be achieved simply by not building the sdo_axiom utility library. For SCA it is more complex. FIrst of all we would not build the current WS binding extensions. Some of the samples would have to be changed so we do not build the wsclients which are Axis2C specific. I think we may also have to provide a dummy ws binding in place of the Axis2C versions. For Linux/Mac we can have a --with-axis2c option on the configure script. For Windows I changed the build.bat script to optionally build extensions, e.g. if PYTHON_HOME is not set then the python extension is not built, so we could optionally build with Axis if AXIS2C_HOME is set. It may be better to code optional parameters onto the build.bat script to control the build to be in line with the Linux build but for now using the environment variables is OK. Any thoughts? Cheers, -- Pete
