Alrighty, I applied the patch, and things are built. I'm still testing my binaries to see if everything is working, but so far, so good. The Samples stuff wasn't patched, so it still can't be configured for MinGw - if/when there's a patch for that, I'll test it, too.
It looks to me that the problem with the ln command is that it is trying to link to something not present. For example, the first time it appears, I see that I've entered the directory: src/xalanc/Utils/XalanMsgLib Then I see that libxalanMsg.dll is built to $XALANCROOT/lib But the ln command is something like: ln -s libxalanMsg.dll ../../../../lib/libxalanMsg1_10_0.dll The ln command wants to pick up libxalanMsg.dll from the current directory, but since it was built to $XALANCROOT/lib, it is not there. That would seem to me why there is an error. It looks to me that every time the build fails on ln, this same situation is occurring. Hopefully that's useful for you Dave. Thanks for the work on this - it's very much appreciated. Let me know if you need any more detail. --Spencer -----Original Message----- From: Chastain, Spencer E Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 9:19 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: MinGW Support For Xalan Great, I see the patch out there right now. Unfortunately, I forgot yesterday that I'm out of town the rest of the week, so I won't have time to test until I get back to my desk next Monday. I'll be sure to follow up with my findings. --Spencer -----Original Message----- From: David Bertoni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: MinGW Support For Xalan Chastain, Spencer E wrote: > Have you been able to generate the patch? because I have not seen it. > > I'd be more than happy to dabble with the symlink creation, though I'm > no mingw expert. > I will try to post the patch today. SVN was down most of Thursday and part of Friday, so it was difficult to get it ready. Thanks! Dave
