Porting Xalan C++ to Sun Solaris : Problems encountered

["Mitra, Vijay (London)" <Mi...@exchange.uk.ml.com>]

Hi All,

I'm working in a project where we using Xalan as a converter of XML to XML
documents. Problem is it has to be ported to Sun Solaris , using g++
compiler.

I was just building the existing sample source codes.
I have done all the configurations, done some changes to the makefile too.
Then it satrting giving errors for some .hpp files.

Preparing the directory structure for a build ...
mkdir -p /home/mitravij/FILES/xml-xalan/c/obj
mkdir -p /home/mitravij/FILES/xml-xalan/c/lib
mkdir -p /home/mitravij/FILES/xml-xalan/c/bin
g++ -DSOLARIS -fpic -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib TestXSLT/process.cpp -o
/home/mitravij/FILES/xml-xalan/c/bin/testXSLT -I . -I
/home/mitravij/FILES/xerces-c_1_2_0-SolCC/src/ -I
/home/mitravij/FILES/xerces-c_1_2_0-SolCC/include/ \

make: *** [/home/mitravij/FILES/xml-xalan/c/bin/testXSLT] Error 1

I have no idea what a 'parse error ' is , where to look etc etc. The code
looks quite ok. Here is the code of STLHelper.hpp

/**
 * Functor to delete value objects in maps, used in STL iteration
algorithms.
 */
template <class T>
#if defined(XALAN_NO_NAMESPACES)
struct MapValueDeleteFunctor : public unary_function<const T::value_type&,
void>
#else
struct MapValueDeleteFunctor : public std::unary_function<const typename
T::value_type&, void>
#endif
{
        result_type
        operator()(argument_type        thePair) const
        {
                delete thePair.second;
        }
};

Can anyone help me on this, any ideas , any suggestions. Do I have to make
some variable setups etc .

URGENT pls.

Thank You.
