David,

That's exactly the solution I used to get past the problem :>.

The reason it took so long is that I didn't make the jump to it being a problem in their libc code for a while. Once I did it was plain sailing. (They re-wrote that part of the library for 1.6.)

Cheers,
        Berin

Hi Berin,

Wouldn't defining XALAN_USE_XERCES_LOCAL_CODEPAGE_TRANSCODERS for NetBSD
take care of the mbstowcs problem?

Dave et al.

I have managed to build 1.4 on NetBSD.  Took some
time, but I managed to get it to work.  (mbstowcs
is broken in NetBSD 1.5 so had to work around).

I had actually planned to try to get FreeBSD to
work for the next version, but no promises until
I've had a bit of a go.  Given FreeBSD is
supported in the Xerces build, this seemed to
make more sense than continuing down the NetBSD
path for my stuff.

Cheers,
    Berin

Hi Alexei,

Please reply to the list, not to my personal address.


Is it planned to have a _normal_ Unix library naming scheme
(like, for example, libxalan-c.so.15 instead of libxalan-c_1_5_0.so)
and if not, why?

Not for this release. That will happen for the next one.


Are there any plans to support FreeBSD? Currently on FreeBSD I'm stuck

with

Xalan version 1.4.0 + Xerces-1.7.0 - this combination works perfectly

unlike

Xalan-1.5.0-interim + Xerces-2.1.0 (this combination is crashing after

first

calls to initialization methods of Xalan & Xerces...). Xalan-1.4.0 +
Xerces-2.1.0 doesn't work either :-(

We've never actually built Xalan on FreeBSD, so I don't know what

problems

might exist for that platform. We don't have access to a FreeBSD

machine,

and these sorts of problems tend to be related to the version of GCC

being

used to build the executables, etc.

Dave
