Hi, The Xalan 1.12 samples and tests fail to build on Linux and the Mac. The reason is that the cmake build infrastructure tries to output the sample and test binaries at the top level of the samples and Tests directories, respectively. For example, the samples directory has the following structure:
samples ApacheModduleXSLT CompileStylesheet DocumentBuilder EntityResolver ExternalFunction … The Xalan build infrastructure tries to create the sample executable in the root of the samples directory. This leads to a naming conflict. For example, the build intrastructure tells the linker to output the ExternalFunction executable at the root of the samples directory. The linker open function fails with the error message [ 93%] Building CXX object src/xalanc/TestXPath/CMakeFiles/TestXPath.dir/TestXPath.cpp.o cd /mathworks/devel/sandbox/paulk/xalan-c-sandbox/3p/derived/glnxa64/xalan-c/src/xalanc/TestXPath && /mathworks/hub/3rdparty/internal/5566149/glnxa64/gcc-8.3.0/bin/g++ -DNDEBUG -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_THREAD_SAFE=1 -I/mathworks/devel/sandbox/paulk/xalan-c-sandbox/3p/derived/glnxa64/xalan-c/src -I/mathworks/devel/sandbox/paulk/xalan-c-sandbox/3p/derived/glnxa64/xalan-c/src/xalanc/PlatformSupport -isystem /mathworks/devel/sandbox/paulk/xalan-c-sandbox/3p/install/unknown/glnxa64/icu/include -isystem /mathworks/devel/sandbox/paulk/xalan-c-sandbox/3p/install/unknown/glnxa64/xerces-c/include -I/mathworks/devel/sandbox/paulk/xalan-c-sandbox/3p/derived/glnxa64/xalan-c/src/xalanc/NLS/include -O2 -pipe -pthread -fdebug-prefix-map=/mathworks/devel/sandbox/paulk/xalan-c-sandbox= -fPIC -std=c++11 -Wall -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wctor-dtor-privacy -Wextra -Wformat=2 -Wmissing-declarations -Wno-long-long -Woverlength-strings -Woverloaded-virtual -Wredundant-decls -Wreorder -Wswitch-default -Wunused-variable -Wwrite-strings -Wno-variadic-macros -fstrict-aliasing -O2 -pipe -pthread -fdebug-prefix-map=/mathworks/devel/sandbox/paulk/xalan-c-sandbox= -fPIC -std=c++11 -std=gnu++14 -o CMakeFiles/TestXPath.dir/TestXPath.cpp.o -c /mathworks/devel/sandbox/paulk/xalan-c-sandbox/3p/derived/glnxa64/xalan-c/src/xalanc/TestXPath/TestXPath.cpp /mathworks/hub/3rdparty/internal/5566149/glnxa64/gcc-8.3.0/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld.gold: fatal error: ExternalFunction: open: Is a directory I noticed that Xerces-c stores the source for its tests and samples in a src subdirectory but creates the executables at the top of the directory e.g., samples src CreateDOMDocument CreateDOMDocument This avoids the naming conflict. The Xalan-c samples and tests build without issue on Windows. Thanks for creating a version of Xalan-c that is easy to build on all major platforms.
