Announcement/Poll: Compiler and platform support for Xalan-C
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what compilers and platforms to support moving
forward. My motivation is to reduce the amount of time I spend
maintaining the various Microsoft project files and more obscure
platforms so I can spend more time on code and a re-write of the
Linux/Unix build system.
As part of this, I would like to remove support for the following
compilers/platforms:
MS Visual Studio.Net 2002 (MSVC 7)
HP-UX 10
Versions of GCC earlier than 3.x on all platforms.
In addition, the following platforms will be deprecated and disappear
withing 6-12 months:
Microsoft Visual Studio 6
MS Visual Studio.Net 2003 (MSVC 7.1)
Compaq Tru64
Irix
These platforms will remain in the build system and the source code, but
they are not guaranteed to work. They are not maintained, since I don't
have access to the necessary hardware and software to do so:
AIX
Solaris SPARC
Mac OSX
OS400
OS390
The following platforms/compilers are considered the core platforms and
are built on a regular to semi-regular basis:
XP/Vista with MS Visual Studio 2005 (MSVC8) 32-bit and 64-bit(x64)
XP/Vista with MS Visual Studio 2008 (MSVC9) 32-bit and 64-bit(x64)
Solaris x86 using GCC 32-bit and 64-bit
Solaris x86 using Sun Workshop 12 32-bit and 64-bit
HP-UX 11i PA-RISC with GCC 32-bit only
HP-UX 11i Itanium with GCC 32-bit only
HP-UX 11i PA-RISC with aCC 32-bit and 64-bit
HP-UX 11i Itanium with aCC 32-bit and 64-bit
Ubuntu Linux 7.04 and 8.04 with GCC 32-bit and 64-bit.
Cygwin 32-bit only
The following platforms should be OK, but are not regularly tested:
OpenBSD with GCC
NetBSD with GCC
FreeBSD with GCC
I would appreciate any feedback on this plan.
Thanks!
Dave

HP-UX is covered, because HP has graciously supplied us with a machine
to use.
If you're using xlC on AIX, it would be great to see if the current code
still compiles. I know that with newer versions of xlC, our link step
is broken, because we're still using the makeC++SharedLibrary script,
rather than linking with xlC itself.
Also, if you have a SPARC machine, it would be good to know if the
current code still compiles and works. I suspect it will, since the
compiler front-ends are the same, but it would be nice to verify it.
I've got Solaris x86 covered already.

Hello David,
Currently we build Xalan version 1.10
on a number of platforms including
AIX, Solaris and HP-UX (all 32-bit)
maybe we would be able to provide
some help running tests on these platforms?
Regards
and along with others I would like to say thanks
for your sterling efforts.
