Hi, After reading the build instructions on the Apache site and googling around, I am still having some problems compiling Xalan 1.5 with the STLPort 4.5.
Here are more details: - My platform is linux, i686, kernel 2.2.19-az.3, redhat 6.2, gcc-2.95.2 - I built xerces 2.1.0 successfully with STLPort4.5 and the same platform - I set the environment variables XERCESCROOT, XALANCROOT, STLPORTROOT. - The Xalan configure command line was: ./runConfigure -plinux -cgcc -xg++ -d -rpthread -b32 -z -I/opt/disco/third-party/Linux-2.2c2.1-i686/stlport-4.5/include/stlport The compilation runs fine until the first std::ostream& reference. the error is: g++ -I/opt/disco/third-party/Linux-2.2c2.1-i686/stlport-4.5/include/stlport -g -Wall -fPIC -DLINUX -D_REENTRANT -c -I/workplace/abrampro/Xalan-C_1_5-src/xml-xalan/c/src -I/workplace/abrampro/xerces-c-src2_1_0/src/ -I/workplace/abrampro/xerces-c-src2_1_0/include/xercesc -I/workplace/abrampro/xerces-c-src2_1_0/include/ -o /workplace/abrampro/Xalan-C_1_5-src/xml-xalan/c/obj/AttributeListImpl.o /workplace/abrampro/Xalan-C_1_5-src/xml-xalan/c/src/PlatformSupport/AttributeListImpl.cpp In file included from /workplace/abrampro/Xalan-C_1_5-src/xml-xalan/c/src/PlatformSupport/AttributeVectorEntry.hpp:71, from /workplace/abrampro/Xalan-C_1_5-src/xml-xalan/c/src/PlatformSupport/AttributeListImpl.cpp:72: /workplace/abrampro/Xalan-C_1_5-src/xml-xalan/c/src/PlatformSupport/DOMStringHelper.hpp:1049: `ostream' undeclared in namespace `_STL' The code in question is XALAN_PLATFORMSUPPORT_EXPORT_FUNCTION(void) OutputString( #if defined(XALAN_NO_STD_NAMESPACE) ostream& theStream, #else std::ostream& theStream, #endif const CharVectorType& theString); I attached more traces at the end of this email. What I'd like to know is if anyone has seen this before. My gut feeling is that I am missing some additional defines either from STLPort or Xalan. [As a side note, if I use the stock stl provided with gcc 2.98.2, some newer STL files like sstream are not present. Has anyone come up with a quick and easy way to write code that's compatible with both with the newest STL files and the oldest? I use sstream pretty much everywhere on my win32 apps.] Thanks in advance for any input.
