Trying to get Xerces Perl to work with HP-UX 11

[Brent nye <br...@yahoo.com>]

I have tried to download SWIG, but that was not
successfully built on HP-UX 11 ... another problem.

According to the README file with the xerces-perl
distribution thing, it seems that SWIG is not
required.  However, when I do not have a $SWIG
variable set, it still tries to use it.  I have tried
to edit the Makefile.PL myself to not use SWIG, but no
success. 

Any suggestions how I can not use SWIG?

Or any info about building on HP-UX 11 that would
pertain to xerces-perl. 

Thanks,

Brent

Hey Brent,

I would love to help get this working.

Can't help on that front. The swig list a uchicago is pretty helpful,
though.

Hmm. That's disturbing. You should have received a Xerces.C and
Xerces.pm file in the tarball. What distribution was this, 1.4.1?

The makefile dependancy is such that if Xerces.C and Xerces.pm are
more recent than the files the depend on:
* Xerces.i
* Handler/*.swig.hpp
* Xerces_headers/*.hpp
* post{Source,Module}.pl

Then SWIG should *not* be run. If it is running anyway, it might be
that make is busted. I'm assuming that you're using make from HP-UX
and not GNU make.

You can check the Makefile that is produced by 'perl
Makefile.PL'. Look at the last part of the file, and you'll see a huge
dependancy line. If there are any files other than the ones I
mentioned above it could be a problem. I was once had a typo where the
Handler/*.o files crept in, so every time one of the object files was
built, it would run SWIG.

HTH,
jas.
