Xerces support on Solaris 11 (built on Solaris 10)
Hi All,
>From archives/google, I believe Xerces should work on Solaris 11 platform.
But has anyone actually tried/ran it on Solaris 11?
One more scenario I would to clarify/discuss – Currently, we build Xerces
v2.8 on Solaris 10 (SunOS, sun4u, sparc) and it works well on Solaris 10
platform. We use Sun Studio 12 compiler. We would like to run it on Solaris
11.2 (SunOS, sun4v, sparc) platform w/o changing the build platform. I mean
we will continue to build Xerces on Solaris 10 and run it on Solaris 11.
Has anyone encounter such situation? Appreciate any help/pointers if this
mechanism will work?

Thank you Scott for the information. We will certainly look at the
possibility of upgrading to latest Xerces version.

In the sense that it has security bugs that are fixed, such as [1]. There are undoubtedly others.

We are using the same OS and compiler, as well as Xerces v3.1, without problem. I did recently recompile xerces on Solaris 11, however, the Solaris 10 compiled version was used on Solaris 10 up until then without issue.
