conflict of building XML::Xerces-2.5.0-0 using Xerces-C-2.6.0
want to build XML::Xerces by using g++3.4 as the c++ compiler for
building Xerces-C(++) library from source.
I downloaded Xerces-C-2.6.0 (the current version) and build it
successfully using g++3.4.
And then I downloaded the current/latest version of XML-Xerces-Perl
(2.5.0) to try to make the perl version by building it using the
Xerces-C -2.6.0 library , get the error
--------------
You are attempt to build XML::Xerces-2.5.0-0 using Xerces-C-2.6.0,
this will most likely fail, so I am aborting.
You must use Xerces-C-2.5.0
------------
So I downloaded Xerces-C-2.5.0 and tried to build it using the
compiler g++3.4. The building process was full of problems. After
searching, I found that Xerces-C-2.5.0 does not build with g++3.4
version.
Is it possible at all to make XML-Xerces-Perl (2.5.0) with
Xerces-C-2.6.0 ? I really would like to install the XML::Xerces
Module without having to find a way to install an older version of
the c++ compiler.
I will appreciate any help or hint about this issue.
regards,
Sai T

In a perfect world, it would simply be a matter of running SWIG
against the new header files, running the regression tests, and
rolling the tarball.
Usually, it involves a small amount of tweaking. For example, often
there are new header files in Xerces-C that must be added to the
Xerces.i interface file used by SWIG.
However, there is currently a horrendous memory leak inside XML-Xerces
at the moment. I did some experiments and couldn't locate the source,
but it wasn't Xerces-C. I re-wrote the Xerces.i interface file to only
use the basic Xerces-C components and the memory lead was gone. So I
haven't wanted to make any new releases until the Xerces.i interface
file could be re-written without the memory leak.
Cheers,
jas.

Hey Jason,
What is involved in make a new Xerces release for each release of
Xerces-C? Is it something we would work on scripting, so that we would
not have to redo it with every release?

This is because the Xerces-C API changes with every version. So most
often you cannot link an older version of XML-Xerces with a newer
version of Xerces-C - sometimes it will work, but very rarely.

Well, you can simply comment out the line in the Makefile.PL that
checks the versions and try the compile. My guess is that it will fail
badly, but you can try.
The other option is to either help me find funding so that I can work
on XML-Xerces more often (and make a real 2.6 release), or to find
other developers who can assist in the Xerces development.
Cheers,
jas.
