Hello David,

Currently we build Xalan version 1.10
on a number of platforms including
AIX, Solaris and HP-UX (all 32-bit)
maybe we would be able to provide
some help running tests on these platforms?

Regards
and along with others I would like to say thanks
for your sterling efforts.

Subject
Announcement/Poll: Compiler and platform support for Xalan-C






Hi,

I'm trying to figure out what compilers and platforms to support moving 
forward.  My motivation is to reduce the amount of time I spend 
maintaining the various Microsoft project files and more obscure 
platforms so I can spend more time on code and a re-write of the 
Linux/Unix build system.

As part of this, I would like to remove support for the following 
compilers/platforms:

     MS Visual Studio.Net 2002 (MSVC 7)
     HP-UX 10
     Versions of GCC earlier than 3.x on all platforms.

In addition, the following platforms will be deprecated and disappear 
withing 6-12 months:

     Microsoft Visual Studio 6
     MS Visual Studio.Net 2003 (MSVC 7.1)
     Compaq Tru64
     Irix

These platforms will remain in the build system and the source code, but 
they are not guaranteed to work.  They are not maintained, since I don't 
have access to the necessary hardware and software to do so:

     AIX
     Solaris SPARC
     Mac OSX
     OS400
     OS390

The following platforms/compilers are considered the core platforms and 
are built on a regular to semi-regular basis:

     XP/Vista with MS Visual Studio 2005 (MSVC8) 32-bit and 64-bit(x64)
     XP/Vista with MS Visual Studio 2008 (MSVC9) 32-bit and 64-bit(x64)
     Solaris x86 using GCC 32-bit and 64-bit
     Solaris x86 using Sun Workshop 12 32-bit and 64-bit
     HP-UX 11i PA-RISC with GCC 32-bit only
     HP-UX 11i Itanium with GCC 32-bit only
     HP-UX 11i PA-RISC with aCC 32-bit and 64-bit
     HP-UX 11i Itanium with aCC 32-bit and 64-bit
     Ubuntu Linux 7.04 and 8.04 with GCC 32-bit and 64-bit.
     Cygwin 32-bit only

The following platforms should be OK, but are not regularly tested:

     OpenBSD with GCC
     NetBSD with GCC
     FreeBSD with GCC

I would appreciate any feedback on this plan.

Thanks!

Dave
