First-pass at MacOS X dylib binary xerces-c

[chris corbell <ch...@earthlink.net>]

I have a binary distribution tarball of
Xerces-C++ for MacOS X available for comments
and hopefully some testing.

This is just a UNIX-style binary package
made via the packageBinaries.pl script.

http://www.machotshot.com/Goodies/xerces_c_packages.php4

I have not done much testing with it yet
and would welcome any feedback.

Also, how might I go about getting submitting
the modifications to packageBinaries.pl for
commit consideration?

Thanks,
Chris Corbell

Chris,

I cleaned up your changes to packageBinaries for Mac OS X a bit, and
committed them just now. Will you help to verify this change? Changes are in
CVS.

James.

Chris,

Thanks for these notes. A couple of questions:

Build notes:

    (1) Did you see the Mac OS (command line) build instructions currently
on the web site, and do you have any patches to them?

    (2) I see that you suggested using tar to extract the sources. Tar on OS
X actually has some problems in dealing with lont paths, so I'd recommend
gnutar for this operation. Also, you should be able to combine the tar and
gz extractions with -xzf.

Package Binaries:

(I'd very much like to get these worked into a patch that will cause
packagebinaries to work for OS X--in addition to the platforms it already
works with!)

    (3) Can you do a mod such that the choice of make tool is a variable set
once? And then set this as make for OS X and gmake otherwise?

    (4) PackageBinaries is getting a little hairy in terms of its simplistic
checking for file extensions. Maybe an array of extensions to check for, and
a loop to to that? Or a mapping from platform to extension?

    (5) Would you like to supply your packagebinaries changes (perhaps with
the changes above) in terms of a patch that I can apply?


My goal is to get package binaries fixed first so that it's easy to submit
binaries of the Mac OS X build. From there, we could also look into a
further mod to additionally support pbxbuild to do the framework build.


If you've got patches to submit, I'd be happy to take them.

Thanks again!

James.
