Fwd: An XML::Xerces Support Question

Jason,
Are you still the guiding light and driving force behind XML::Xerces at
apache.org or have you moved on to another project? I sent an e-mail
to p-dev@xerces.apache.org on 6/15/06 about problems trying to build
XML::Xerces using perl V5.8.2 under AIX V5.3 and I re-sent the same
e-mail 7/27/06, but, as yet, have not received a reply. Admittedly,
I'm an open-source neophyte, and may, by accident, not have followed the
correct procedure.
Can you tell me if p-dev@xerces.apache.org is the correct e-mail
account to which to send requests for assistance with XML::Xerces and
whether support is still available for this software -- specific
software versions and other details are listed below.
Please let me know.
Many thanks,
Noel

Hello,
I am having problems compiling XML::Xerces under AIX V5.3 and would
welcome any assistance you can offer. However, Xerces-C compiles
successfully in this environment and I've successfully tested the
DOMCount and SAXCount Xerces-C samples.
Under AIX V5.2 there were a couple of issues to address (see end of
e-mail), but after some trial and error, I was able to compile, link and
test XML::Xerces successfully. The versions of GNU make, Xerces-C,
XML::Xerces, VisualAge C/C++ are the same, but the version of perl on
the AIX V5.2 box is 5.8.0, whereas it is 5.8.2 on the AIX V5.3 box.
Please advise.
Many thanks ... Noel

RE: An XML::Xerces Support Question
Posted by "Pluta, Edward" <Ed...@csgsystems.com>.
I've successfully built and we are running XML::xerces in production on
AIX5.2/5.1, although I used gcc/g++ to compile, since we don't have
xlr_c, for perl 5.8.2-5.8.8. Since the last node of the release is just
a maintainace increment I don't thing the perl core would change that
radically (I could be wrong). The one major difference that jumps out is
that it looks like you are using a multi threaded perl, we did not. I
did have to build a custom version of perl to 1. upgrade to 5.8.8 and 2.
to use the gcc/g++ compiler, although that was easier than installing
the xerces packages.
Wish I could offer more help but I don't have xlc_r to play with. Now if
you want to move to gcc..... ;)

Jason,
Thank you for your reply! I would welcome your assistance with the
compile errors I'm getting while trying to build XML::Xerces using perl
V5.8.2 under AIX V5.3. I'm getting a truck load (see my original e-mail
for details) of errors like the samples below. To my untrained eye it
looks like the method signatures of the perl core components changed
radically from V5.8.0 (as shipped with AIX V5.2) to V5.8.2 (as shipped
with AIX V5.3) and that may the root cause of my compilation blues.
I'm guessing it may be a swig issue and I've been frantically swigging
[but not hard liquor :-)] for a couple of days now, but I would truly
welcome any assistance you can offer based on your intimate knowledge of
Xerces.cpp, SWIG, Xerces-C, etc.
Many thanks ... Noel

That was the correct thing to do! It was my fault - because the list is
configured to hold all messages from non-subscribers until I approve
them. Your messages didn't get approved in time, and so they were
discarded - again, my bad...

Nice! Glad to hear it's working using xlc finally.

yes, the problem with bool is due to SWIG. I built it on linux, where
bool is int on gcc.
I'll see what I can do to make these automatic on AIX.
You mentioned support. Is there anything more that you are looking for?

This is the correct place to send any info. I'm still the maintainer,

Yup. That looks fine. The last time I tried (about 3 years ago, granted),
most of the tests that throw exceptions on various errors would dump core
and spit out a host of "..dubious" messages. Good to see that the issue
is gone!

Do the compiled sources pass all the regression tests on AIX? In the
past, I was never able to build any version of XML::Xerces that was
capable of proper exception handling in the DOM parser and SAX parser
tests.

Hi Shalini,
Xerces is an XML 'parser' not an XML generator. You don't need a special
tool to generate XML, just print() statements. Given that, there is an
example module in the samples/ directory called Writer.pm that shows how
you can use a callback mechanism to write XML.

Hi,
Does anybody have XML::Xerces api list..
My question is "how to generate a simple XML file using XML::Xerces"..

If he is the correct person please let me know as well. I have built
XML::xerces on AIX5.2 and 5.1 for a couple of different versions of
PERL, through 5.8.8, but I used g++ instead of xlc and was wondering who
to send the updates to install it automatically from the configure
script to.
Thanks,

Jason,
Are you still the guiding light and driving force behind XML::Xerces at
apache.org or have you moved on to another project? I sent an e-mail
to p-dev@xerces.apache.org on 6/15/06 about problems trying to build
XML::Xerces using perl V5.8.2 under AIX V5.3 and I re-sent the same
e-mail 7/27/06, but, as yet, have not received a reply. Admittedly,
I'm an open-source neophyte, and may, by accident, not have followed the
correct procedure.
Can you tell me if p-dev@xerces.apache.org is the correct e-mail
account to which to send requests for assistance with XML::Xerces and
whether support is still available for this software -- specific
software versions and other details are listed below.
Please let me know.
Many thanks,
Noel

Hello,
I am having problems compiling XML::Xerces under AIX V5.3 and would
welcome any assistance you can offer. However, Xerces-C compiles
successfully in this environment and I've successfully tested the
DOMCount and SAXCount Xerces-C samples.
Under AIX V5.2 there were a couple of issues to address (see end of
e-mail), but after some trial and error, I was able to compile, link and
test XML::Xerces successfully. The versions of GNU make, Xerces-C,
XML::Xerces, VisualAge C/C++ are the same, but the version of perl on
the AIX V5.2 box is 5.8.0, whereas it is 5.8.2 on the AIX V5.3 box.
Please advise.
Many thanks ... Noel
