Build bug

[Craig Noah <Cr...@sterling.com>]

I am trying to build the latest version of Xerces (I downloaded the
source today - 3 Mar 2000).  I am running solaris 2.5.1 on a sparc box
with gcc and g++.  I ran runConfigure as:
      runConfigure -p solaris -c gcc -x g++ -t native
then I ran gmake, as instructed.  The following message was at the end
of the build attempt:

gmake[1]: Leaving directory
`/export/home4/xerces-csrc_1_1_0_d15/src/validators/DTD'
Building /export/home4/xerces-csrc_1_1_0_d15/src/lib/libxerces-c1_1
cd /export/home4/xerces-csrc_1_1_0_d15/src/obj ; gmake -k  ; cd ..
gmake[1]: Entering directory
`/export/home4/xerces-csrc_1_1_0_d15/src/obj'
gmake[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory
`/export/home4/xerces-csrc_1_1_0_d15/src/obj'

What do I need to do to get a Makefile put into the src/obj directory?

runConfigure works, as well, if you have spaces between options and
option values.

I suspect that XERCESCROOT environment variable was not defined
properly. The object files have been copied to some other destination
and not to XERCESCROOT/obj, where the makefile is expecting them to
be.

That error I've seen only when runConfigure has not worked properly.

I don't think runConfigure works when you have spaces between the
command line switches and arguments:

try executing runConfigure again as:

runConfigure -psolaris -cgcc -xg++ -tnative

and check closely for any errors in its output before running gmake.
