You might try looking at the new Xalan-C documentation I am building for Xalan-C 1.11 hosted on my committer's web site.
http://www.apache.org/~shathaway/docs/xalan/xalan-c/ The Build Libraries page describes how I build Xerces 3.1.1 and Xalan 1.11 from sources. The description also describes how to build the products in a directory separate from the SVN or download repository. I finished yesterday completing builds using GCC 4.4.5 on a Debian Linux virtual machine. It could be that XERCESCROOT may be pointing to the wrong part of the Xerces directory tree. Xerces-C moved away from runConfigure with release 3.0 and now uses the automake configure process. Xalan-C still uses the runConfigure front end for the configure process. Your review and comments for the documentation effort would be appreciated. Sincerely, Steven J. Hathaway > I'm getting errors building Xalan-C from the trunk (revision 1294167 to be > precise) that I cannot figure out for the life of me, and I'm hoping > someone out there can help me.

I was > able to get Xalan-C building on Windows with VC10 (I even seem to have > updated the projects/solutions to use ICU as a message loader, though I > haven't actually tested using that build yet). > > I'm building on Ubuntu 12.04 (which is currently a beta release, I > realize, but the version of gcc has only changed from 4.6.1 to 4.6.3 since > the last release of Ubuntu, 11.10, which doesn't seem likely to cause this > kind of trouble). I would prefer to just use the libxerces-c-dev package > (which is 3.1.1), but after getting these errors I also tried building > Xerces myself and ended up with the exact same problem. > > I used the default configure options for Xalan (-p linux, -c gcc, -x g++) > and for Xerces when I built it myself. > > Basically, I get a whole lot of "undefined reference to" various > xerces_3_1::* symbols.
