[Gdal-dev] Configure on Solaris 10 --with-xerces fails

Wed Sep 5 09:39:45 EDT 2007

Chris and list,

Could it be that xerces 2.8 is *too* recent?  Is there any idea from
the ogr maintainers which version of xerces one should use when
attempting this?

I can't remember if I did try 2.8 or not, but I do remember the process
being difficult.  I also found that having the proj4 libraries built 
and available was important in the operation of the ogr commands,
but not having done that did not impede the progress of building the
binaries.

Sorry this is more sympathy than help.

Peter

Hi all,

I upgraded my xerces-c now to 2.8.0 by downloading the latest stable binary release for Solaris 10 x86. This seems fine now, at least gdal´s configure succeeds as desired.

Unfortunately, I got stuck at the next step. Making gdal throws the following error:
/bin/sh /localdata/build/gdal/gdal-1.4.2/libtool --mode=compile g++ -Wall  -O2   -I/usr/local/xerces-c/include -I/usr/local/xerces-c/include/xercesc -DOGR_ENABLED -I/localdata/build/gdal/gdal-1.4.2/port  -I.. -c -o ../../o/reader.o reader.cpp

Anyone knows about this?

Once again, any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Chris

	Hi Chris,

	I think your xerces looks a little old.  Here is the text of my my_conf, my configuration
	for solaris 10 on ultrasparc.  I had to build xerces before I could build gdal.  I also
	found I needed the largefile stuff to manipulate large gml files.

	./configure \
	--without-oci \
	--without-libtool \
	--enable-static=yes \
	--disable-shared \
	--prefix=/bilbo05/rushpet/gdal/sol10build \
	--with-static-proj4=/bilbo05/rushpet/proj/proj_sol10 \
	--with-xerces \
	--with-xerces-inc=/bilbo05/rushpet/xerces/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/src/xercesc/include \
	--with-xerces-lib="-L/bilbo05/rushpet/xerces/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/lib -lxerces-c" \
	--with-sde=/software/sdeexe83 \
	--with-sde-version=83 \
	CFLAGS='-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' \
	CXXFLAGS='-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64'

	I hope this helps a bit.

	Cheers,
	Peter

	Hello list,

	I just tried to build GDAL 1.4.2 with the --with-xerces option.
	The system is x86_64
	OS: Solaris 10
	Xerces 2.5.0 from www.blastwave.org <http://www.blastwave.org/> 
	# pkg-get compare xerces_c
	# (From site http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/csw/unstable )
	       software                    localrev                   remoterev
	       xerces_c        2.5.0,REV=2004.09.12                        SAME

	my configure scripts looks like this:
	./configure \
	--with-gif=internal     \
	--with-jpeg=internal    \
	--with-geotiff=internal \
	--with-libtiff=internal \
	--with-libz=internal    \
