Spencer E. Chastain commented on XALANC-620:
--------------------------------------------
To follow up on my initial report yesterday:
I have attempted to use cygwin as the specified platform even though I'm using
mingw. I get the following output/error message when I run the configure
script:
-----------------------------------------------------------
>sh runConfigure -p cygwin -c gcc -x g++
Generating makefiles with the following options ...
Platform: cygwin
C Compiler: gcc
C++ Compiler: g++
Extra compile options:
Extra link options:
Transcoder: default
Localization system: inmem
Locale: en_US
Thread option:
bitsToBuild option: 32
Extra configure options:
Debug is OFF
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I can copy the config.log file if it will be useful, but it ends with
'configure: exit 77'
So, after that, everytime I ran configure, I found where the script was dying,
and I commented out the exit condition.
The lines affected were:
line 1668, exit 77 -- above error
line 1699, exit 1 -- related to cross compile
line 1741, exit 1 -- related to suffix
I then have to edit the created Makefile.incl to change the PLATFORM variable
from UNKNOWN to CYGWIN.
Make will then run until I get to compiling my shared object libxalanMsg.dll
-----------------------------------------------------------
g++ -DCYGWIN -O -DNDEBUG -fno-elide-constructors -shared -Wl,--warn-once
-Wl,--out-implib -Wl,../../../../lib/libxalanMsg.dll.110.0
../../../../obj/XalanMsgLib.o -o ../../../../lib/cygxalanMsg110.dll
Creating library file: ../../../../lib/libxalanMsg.dll.110.0
rm -f ../../../../lib/libxalanMsg.dll && \
ln -fs libxalanMsg.dll.110.0 ../../../../lib/libxalanMsg.dll
ln: creating symbolic link `../../../../lib/libxalanMsg.dll' to
`libxalanMsg.dll.110.0': No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------------------
As I reported in my first comment, I then tried modifying the configure scripts
to support a MinGW platform, and I got about as far as this. Probably because
I haven't sat down to figure out what it is that script is doing, how it is
doing it, and why mingw is different.
Per above comment, I'll create a thread on the users list related to this. I
had seen a few similar threads in the archives, but I had not seen anyone
report any kind of success. That's why I decided to open the bug report. It
should be easier than this.

> Key: XALANC-620
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-620
> Project: XalanC
> Type: Bug
> Components: XalanC
> Versions: 1.10
> Environment: Win32 with MinGW
> Reporter: Spencer E. Chastain
>
> I'm having major difficulties getting Xalan to compile with MinGW whereas the
> process with Xerces was painless.
> I have attempted to modify the runConfigure and configure scripts to generate
> a makefile for my mingw configuration. In doing so, I have run across
> problems during configure in which configure thinks that the compiler is
> broken. I have not had the time to debug the file, so instead, I commented
> out the offending exit conditions.
> Getting past configure, a surprising amount of code will actually compile. I
> will have to follow up with another comment to detail how far I have
> progressed (that information as at work).
> In any case, I really need to get this resolved. I'll provide more feedback
> and testing if need be. Otherwise, I will have to seek another alternative
> to Xalan. Xalan seemed like such a good choice because of its compatability
> with xerces and (I was thinking its) cross platform support.
