Hi, I'm trying to build Xerces from SVN under Linux and I found that official instructions are not very exact:
http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/build-winunix.html#UNIX Is there any better manual about building development version of Xerces? Here is my problem. I checkouted the Xerces and here is my configuration: mloskot:~/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk$ svn info | grep URL URL: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/c/trunk In the manual, there is said to configure: export XERCESCROOT=/my/path/to/xerces/_svn/trunk mloskot:~/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk$ echo $XERCESCROOT /home/mloskot/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk Next, I should do: cd $XERCESCROOT/src/xercesc autoconf but it fails because there are no autoconf files to operate on under this location: mloskot:~/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk/src/xercesc$ ls com dom framework internal NLS parsers sax sax2 util validators xinclude Also, I can not find the runConfigure script in the SVN sources tree. However, there is ./configure script in the trunk directory: mloskot:~/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk$ ls configure configure so I tried this one: mloskot:~/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk$ ./configure ... configure: configure: Report: configure: NetAccessor: curl configure: File Manager: POSIX configure: Atomic Op Manager: POSIX configure: Mutex Manager: POSIX configure: Message Loader: icu configure: Transcoder: icu Now, I try to build it: ######################################################################## mloskot:~/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk$ make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mloskot/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk' Making all in lib make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mloskot/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk/lib' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mloskot/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk/lib' Making all in src make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mloskot/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk/src' Making all in xercesc/util/MsgLoaders/ICU/resources make[3]: Entering directory `/home/mloskot/dev/apache/xerces/_svn/trunk/src/xercesc/util/MsgLoaders/ICU/resources' generating XercesMessages3_0_0_en_US.res /usr/bin/genrb --package-name XercesMessages3_0_0 en_US.txt building /obj/.libs/libXercesMessages3_0_0.so /usr/bin/pkgdata --name XercesMessages3_0_0 --mode dll -v -d . res-file-list-unix.txt /usr/bin/pkgdata: No -O option found, trying 'icu-config --incfile'. /usr/bin/pkgdata: icu-config: using '-O /usr/lib/icu/3.4.1/Makefile.inc' # Reading res-file-list-unix.txt..

Does it mean I have to build Xerces with root privileges? I'd appreciate if anyone could help me. Cheers -- Mateusz Loskot http://mateusz.loskot.net
