-------------------------------------------

Hi Steven,


I've been spending much more time than I really wanted to today trying to get Xalan
to build on Aix.  I did, in the end, get it done, but not before a lot of
hair-pulling moments.

The problem is the file Makefile.incl.in . It assumes that Xerces libraries are
available at XERCESCROOT/lib , which is incorrect.  It also hard-codes the Xerces
version number incorrectly.

The bad line as it now is (in the AIX-specific section) is:

  XERCES_LIB= -L$(XERCESCROOT)/lib -lxerces-c27

That needs to be :
  XERCES_LIB= -L/home/prod/app/xerces/3_1_1.nondbg.nonICU/lib -lxerces-c

At least, for us.  (  /home/prod/app/xerces/3_1_1 etc is where we installed Xerces
after successfully building it. )


And especially don't drop that initial "-L" bit like I did today; (thank goodness I
had the previous correct build of Xalan-svn of 2011 to compare files with, otherwise
I don't think I'd have spotted that one...)


The runConfigure invocation I used was:

./runConfigure -p aix -c xlc_r -x xlC_r -m inmem -b 32 -P
/home/prod/app/xalan/xalanRev1387073/install.32bits >o.runConfigure 2>&1 &

With the following compiler: IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V10.1 ...


There's some more things to explain, but I want to leave that for tomorrow or later,
as I've spent waaaay more time on this today than I should have, have to work on
some other things as well!

Sincerely,
Martin
