Re: expat-configure problem

 Yes, the problem is that the version of libtool is too new.  The
 buildconf script needs to copy additional files to make this work on
 vmgump's version of autoconf.  From google, it seems that the expat
 project knows this as well.

A quick search only showed problems with APR and HTTPd which both bundle
expat's source tree.  I'd say let the project fix it.

 However, I made a copy of expat to my home directory, and saw that if
 the exconf-buildconfig project uses the autoreconf as it's script,
 then expat seems to build fine.

I don't have any idea what autoreconf may be 8-)

 Of course, this means that other Gump installs would need to update
 their version of libtool (or it will fail on them).

helios is bound to go away and be replaced, I don't know which version
of libtool is going to be there.  Sander, do you know which version of
libtool is installed on the XServe machine?

 The other alternative is to downgrade libtool on vmgump.

Doesn't feel right.

We could install expat as well and make apr/httpd use the system
provided one so at least they will be able to build.  We can always make
the use Gump's expat once we figured out how to build it.

 Yes.  Gump got a new virtual machine an OpenJDK is what you get by
 default on Ubuntu 10.4 if you ask for some falvor of Java.

  No one works on that component anymore so don't see how this could be
  fixed (aside from switching Gump over to a JDK which Stylebook
  actually works with). We have no plans to move off of Stylebook for
  generating Xerces' documentation. Perhaps 'dist-xerces' should be
  disabled for now or at least the nag e-mails which are becoming noise
  on our development mailing list.

 I don't think we are going to switch to a different Java SDK at the
 moment and nothing will magically fix Stylebook, so it would probably be
 the best idea to completely remove the project - it will never get
 fixed.

 Like Bill said, you can modify the metadata yourself - no other project
 depends on dist-xerces so completely removing the project-element won't
 do any harm.  If you need any help, just ask.

Right. I dabbled in the metadata ages ago but wanted to check first that I
wasn't about to rip something out that someone depends on (or if there were
any alternatives). The project is gone now.

Thank you for asking, Michael.  There is a page linked from each
project's Gump page (at the bottom) that lists all dependencies, like
http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/xml-xerces/dist-xerces1/details.html
(using dist-xerces1 as an example).

 The project is gone now.

Thanks for that as well
