I needed to use Xerces with a g++ 2.95.2 19991024 (release) project on SunOS 5.7. Since there is no binary distribution, I downloaded and built from source. I would like to report my success and the changes I needed to make. Basically I followed the "build" instructions off the web page. I wanted to put xerces in ~/stuff/xerces instead of somewhere global, so I did a "make tarball" and then extracted that. (I also wanted to be able to internally distribute the resulting binary distribution.) The only things I needed to do to have what appears to be a fully functional Xerces: % cd ~/stuff/xerces-c-SOLARIS-g++-1_4/include/util % cp -r ~/src/xerces-c-src1_4_0/include/util/Platforms . % cp -r ~/src/xerces-c-src1_4_0/include/util/Compilers . % cd ~/stuff/xerces-c-SOLARIS-g++-1_4/include % cp -r ~/src/xerces-c-src1_4_0/include/validators . For some reason those directories didn't get handled by the Makefile. Anyway, it seems to be fairly painless to get it going. Do the developers intend to make a binary distribution available for SOLARIS-g++? I do have trouble debugging my application. gdb dies saying it cannot open the .so: % gdb pathtest (gdb) run Starting program: a.out warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function. warning: GDB will be unable to debug shared library initializers warning: and track explicitly loaded dynamic code. ld.so.1: a.out: fatal: libxerces-c1_4.so: open failed: No such file or directory Program terminated with signal SIGKILL, Killed. The program no longer exists. (gdb) My LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set and a.out runs fine as long as I don't try to run it from gdb. Luckily, I always write bug free code, so I don't really need to run gdb on it. ;) Any suggestions? Thanks, and nice work on an excellent project.
