I'm trying to build Xalan (the latest code from SVN), and although it works on most of my platforms, the build fails on SuSE Linux 9.1 (64-bit zOS). I'm using GCC 3.3.3.
The error message looks like this: ../../lib/libxalanMsg.so: undefined reference to `xalanMsg__________nls_icu_xalanMsg_en_US_res' (that's ten underscores in a row) Much earlier in the build, we have this: g++ -DLINUX -fPIC -m64 -DXALAN_ICU_MSG_LOADER -Wl,-rpath,/home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu/lib \ -lm -lpthread -L/home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/lib -lxml4c ../../../../obj/MsgFileOutputStream.o ../../../../obj/ICUResHandler.o ../../../../obj/InMemHandler.o ../../../../obj/MsgCreator.o ../../../../obj/NLSHandler.o ../../../../obj/SAX2Handler.o -o ../../../../bin/MsgCreator gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xslt4c1_11_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/c/src/xalanc/Utils/MsgCreator' ../../../bin/MsgCreator /home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml-xalan/c/src/xalanc/NLS/en_US/XalanMsg_en_US.xlf -TYPE icu -LOCALE en_US mv LocalMsgIndex.hpp ../../../nls/include mv en_US.txt ../../../nls/icu /home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu/bin/genrb -p xalanMsg -d ../../../nls/icu -i ../../../nls/icu ../../../nls/icu/en_US.txt echo ../../../nls/icu/xalanMsg_en_US.res > ../../../nls/icu/res-file-list.txt /home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu/bin/pkgdata --name xalanMsg -T ../../../nls/icu -v -O /home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu/lib/icu/Makefile.inc --mode dll -d ../../../lib ../../../nls/icu/res-file-list.txt -M "prefix=/home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu TARGET=libxalanMsg.so.111.0" gmake[3]: Entering directory `/home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xslt4c1_11_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/c/src/xalanc/Utils' cat ../../../nls/icu/res-file-list.txt > ../../../nls/icu/xalanMsg_dll.lst LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu/sbin/gencmn -e xalanMsg -n xalanMsg -S -s . -d ../../../nls/icu 0 ../../../nls/icu/xalanMsg_dll.lst gcc -w -O -m64 -D_REENTRANT -I/home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu/include -c -DPIC -fPIC -o ../../../nls/icu/xalanMsg_dat.o ../../../nls/icu/xalanMsg_dat.c LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu/sbin/genccode -n xalanMsg_.. -d ../../../nls/icu ../../../nls/icu/xalanMsg_en_US.res -f .._.._.._nls_icu_xalanMsg_en_US_res generating C code for ../../../nls/icu/xalanMsg_en_US.res gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_REENTRANT -I/home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xml4c5_7_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/icu/include -w -O -m64 -shared -o ../../../lib/libxalanMsg.so.111.0 ../../../nls/icu/xalanMsg_dat.o ../../../nls/icu/.._.._.._nls_icu_xalanMsg_en_US_res.o -Wl,-Bsymbolic ls -l ../../../lib/libxalanMsg.so.111.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 torxslt users 29000 2007-12-19 20:53 ../../../lib/libxalanMsg.so.111.0 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/home/torxslt/xsltbts_client/working/20071219205227/2187/xslt4c1_11_0-suse_91_zOS_64-gcc_333/c/src/xalanc/Utils' I think that the arguments passed to genccode and gcc, like .._.._.._nls_icu_xalanMsg_en_US_res, are wrong, but I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Any ideas? Ashley Zinyk
