Newbie still trying to get xalan to build on linux

[Di...@tais.com]

Linux 2.4.7-10.

Downloaded Xalan-C_1_3-linux.tar.gz; tar'd it to the disk; removed "
-instances=static" from Makefile.in; and started
following the Xalan-C++ Release Notes.  Well into the build, I got the
following error:

XercesParserLiaison/XercesAttrBridge.cpp: In method `bool
XercesAttrBridge::supports (const
XalanDOMString &, const XalanDOMString &) const':
XercesParserLiaison/XercesAttrBridge.cpp:271: no matching function for call
to `DOM_Attr::supports
(const DOMString, const DOMString) const'

Thought I'd ask if anyone's has already seen (and fixed) this before I
start digging around in the code.

Any help, suggestions, solutions, etc. appreciated.

TIA

I didn't get this error. I downloaded Xerces 1.7 and got the current Xalan
sources from CVS (see http://xml.apache.org/cvs.html for details on how to
access CVS).

The first step was to build Xerces:
sh>export XERCESCROOT=/my/directory/to/xerces/xml-xerces/c
sh>cd $XERCESCROOT/src/xercesc
sh>./runConfigure  -p linux -c gcc -x g++ -r pthread -m inmem -n socket -t
native 
sh>make

The next step is to build Xalan (XERCESCROOT must still be set!)
sh>export XALANCROOT=/my/directory/to/xalan/xml-xalan/c
sh>cd $XALANCROOT/src
sh>./runConfigure  -p linux -c gcc -x g++ -r pthread
sh>make

That was all I had to do to (re)build Xalan and Xerces. I used gcc 2.95.3 on
SuSE 7.x (kernel 2.2.16).

One last tip: I downloaded all files to a Windows machine and then
transferred them to the linux box. All files had Windows line endings (\r\n) instead
of unix line endings (just \n), so I ran into many, many errors until I
discovered this problem and converted all files to have unix line endings. It
doesn't matter for C(++) and header files (as long as you don't have string
constants exceeding line breaks...) but it does matter for config* and Makefiles! A
solution for this problem is to transfer all files to the linux machine
using (s)ftp in ASCII mode or to use some conversion utility like tr. (BTW: vi
shows windows line endings as ^M)

Hope that helps.
Ciao

The problem is that you are trying to build Xalan-1.3 with Xerces-1.7 - this 
will not work. Either you should change (a bit) your Xalan-1.3 (as I remember 
you should replace supports() calls with isSupported() or smth. like this) or 
use Xalan from CVS. Or use Xerces-1.6.
