Thanks for this suggestion, Peter. Not really seeing how 1.5.0 could build in such circumstances yet 1.6.0 fail, I checked XercescVersion.hpp - which contains

#define XERCES_VERSION_MAJOR 2
#define XERCES_VERSION_MINOR 7
#define XERCES_VERSION_REVISION 0

Next, in order to be absolutely certain, I created subdirectories specific to Xercesc 2.7.0 in include and lib and, from the Xercesc 2.7.0 sources ran an install to these new directories. Back in GDAL I ran gmake clean, changed the configure sequence to point to the new directories, ran configure and gmake, but the link failed again.

Yesterday, in my cut from the error message, I omitted these lines:

[Hint: static member xercesc_2_7::XMLPlatformUtils::fgMemoryManager must be defined in the program]

[Hint: static member xercesc_2_7::XMLUni::fgXercesScannerName must be defined in the program]

[Hint: static member xercesc_2_7::__RTTI__1nLxercesc_2_7RSAXParseException_ must be defined in the program]

[Hint: static member xercesc_2_7::XMLUni::fgXercescDefaultLocale must be defined in the program]

[Hint: static member xercesc_2_7::XMLUni::fgWFXMLScanner must be defined in the program]

[Hint: static member xercesc_2_7::__RTTI__1nLxercesc_2_7MXMLException_ must be defined in the program]

[Hint: static member xercesc_2_7::XMLUni::fgSAX2CoreNameSpaces must be defined in the program]

[Hint: static member xercesc_2_7::XMLUni::fgSAX2CoreValidation must be defined in the program]

[Hint: static member xercesc_2_7::XMLPlatformUtils::fgTransService must be defined in the program]

I've not programmed using the Xerces-c libraries so this is only guesswork, but these 'hints' suggest to me problems with include definitions in the sources. I have not yet worked through every .cpp file in iom and gml - I guess that must be my next step, or simply to consider adding the Xerces-c header calls to a GDAL header used by every module. Another course could be to diff between 1.5.0 and 1.6.0 - but that presumes that there has been no significant work on these modules between the releases.

Thanks and best wishes,

Peter

 Peter,

Is it possible that what's in /usr/appl/bin/solaris/sparc/include/
is xerces 2.8 or other?

Looks like a version issue to me, going by memory.

Subject: [gdal-dev] Problems building 1.6.0 with Xerces 2.7 on Solaris 10 / Sparc (1.5.x work)

Dear All,

I'm sure that I've done something wrong, but cannot see it! I've pulled GDAL 1.6.0 and ran the same configure command as for 1.5.x, seeking to include xerces (for GML). Configure failed to find the xerces libraries with both gcc 3.3 and the Sun compilers; I also had to drop Jasper, as I do not currently have this. I got round the xerces problem for the Sun compilers (but get a new set of errors from gcc) by editing configure to add a reference to the XMLUni header file, as follows:

#include <xercesc/util/XercesDefs.hpp>
#include <xercesc/util/XMLUni.hpp>
#include <xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp>

However, GDAL then fails to build, with multiple link errors of the same form as originally generated by configure:

Undefined                       first referenced
  symbol                             in file

char*const,xercesc_2_7::MemoryManager*const)
/usr/postel/gdal-1.6.0/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/.libs/writer.o

Checking the sources, the header file requests appear to be in order, so it would appear that I have some other problem that is masked by my edit to configure.

My current configure statement is

./configure 'CC=cc' 'CCC=CC' '--with-oci-include=/usr/appl/oracle/solaris/solaris32/instant
client10_1/sdk/include'
'--with-oci-lib=/usr/appl/oracle/solaris/solaris32/instantclie
nt10_1/lib'
'--prefix=/usr/appl/bin/solaris/sparc' '--with-pcraster=internal' '--with-png=internal' '--with-libtiff=internal' '--with-geotiff=internal' '--with-jpeg=internal' '--with-xerces' '--with-xerces-inc=/usr/appl/bin/solaris/sparc/include/' '--with-xerces-lib=/usr/appl/bin/solaris/sparc/lib/libxerces-c.so.27' '--without-python' '--without-jasper'

Note that I have had to specify the libxerces-c.so.27, rather than just libxerces-c.so as I did at GDAL 1.5.x - they are the same version.

I can provide compilation logs, etc., should these be needed to identify where I've gone wrong.

Thanks and best wishes,

Peter
