I resolved this by including the following flags when linking the libraries:
-L$(XERCESCROOT)/lib -lxerces-c1_7_0 -lc -lgen
The result was my linking line looked like this at link time:
-L/space/u01/downloads/xerces-c-src1_7_0/lib/ -lxerces-c1_7_0 -lc -lgen
I thought that this type of information should be included in the Build FAQ, although I do not know how to add it.
I nice place would be in the section heading:
Why does my application gives unresolved linking errors on Solaris?
On Solaris there are a few things that need to be done before you execute your
application using Xerces-C++. In case you're using the binary build of Xerces-C++
make sure that the OS and compiler are the same version as the ones used to build
the binary (please refer to FAQ: What compilers are being used on the supported
platforms?). Different OS and compiler versions might cause unresolved linking
problems or compilation errors. If the versions are different, rebuild the Xerces-C++
library on your system before building your application. If you're using ICU (which is
packaged with XML4C) you need to rebuild the compatible version of ICU first.
Also check that the library path is set properly and that the correct versions of gmake
and autoconf are on your system.
I think these flags are most likely needed on other platforms as well, although I don't really know. I know I looked in the Solaris section since the heading described my issue exactly. Unresolved linking errors on Solaris.
I only realized I needed these after noticing them when compiling the sample code. Maybe this is obvious to some to look for this, but it wasn't to me.
Thoughts and feedback are welcome, places I should have looked to get this information, etc.,
T.K.

Subject: Linking Error on Solaris 8, Xerces C 1_7_0
I receive the following link errors when I attempt to build Xerces into
my executable:
-L/space/u01/downloads/xerces-c-src1_7_0/lib/

/space/u01/downloads/xerces-c-src1_7_0
**********
I have already downloaded and built the libxerces-c1_7_0.so on my
machine using the forte C++ compiler.
All sample Xerces code builds and runs, etc ...
I am not sure what else to try.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
Todd Keen
