G'day All,
Not sure if this is the correct list. Can't seem to find a contact for
xml-security-c for xerces-c.
This is just a request the think about supporting Win32 compiles using
Cygwin or MingW32 in the Makefiles. I have been using xml-security-c
with xerces-c now for over 7 years under many environments. Xerces-c
will compile using MingW32 with very little modification, however
xml-security-c has taken the option that if you are using a Makefile,
then you must be using a Linux style OS (like native Cygwin). I found
this comment in one of the xml-security-c Makefiles:
# Utility files. Note we don't worry about checking
# if the UNIX stuff is necessary - we just assume that
# we are running on a *NIX system because compiling under
# make. Cygwin compiles use the UNIX utilities, not windows
This is not quite correct. You can use Cygwin to build native Win32
applications by either using the mingw32-g++ command or by giving the
Cygwin g++ compiler the "-mno-cygwin" switch; and therefore you don't
need to have a VisualStudio compiler for Windows builds.
Anyway, I have managed to compile xml-security-c 1.5.0 for xerces-c
3.0.1 by doing the following modifications to xml-security-c:
1. export CPPFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -I/usr/local/include"
2. export LDFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -L/usr/local/lib"
3. Edit the following files and:
* Remove -DCYGWIN
* Replace "-g -O2" with "-O2" (personal preference)
configure.ac, configure
4. Edit the following files and:
* Replace "unix" with "win"
* Replace "Unix" with "Win32"
include/Makefile.am include/Makefile.in
lib/Makefile.am lib/Makefile.in
5. Edit src/utils/winutils/XSECBinHTTPURIInputStream.cpp
a. Modify compareAndSway() to use: (What's with the embedded
assembler?)
return InterlockedCompareExchangePointer(toFill,
(void*)newValue, (void*)toCompare);
b. Added <limits.h> at top of file so that USHRT_MAX is defined.
6. Edit src/framework/XSECW32Config.hpp and comment out "#define
HAVE_WINCAPI 1".
7. ./configure --without-xalan
8. cp -r src/utils/winutils include/xsec/utils; rm -f
include/xsec/utils/winutils/*.cpp
9. make
10. make install
Unfortunately these mods don't make the code frendly to be built under
Linux. This was just a quick hack to get it to work with Cygwin/MingW32.
The original files work fine with Linux.
Have Fun !!
