Brett,
I was able to build Xerces 1.3 on Solaris 2.6 X86, using the
4.2 compiler. I just upgraded the system to dual processors,
and moved to Solaris 8 X86 at the same time. I also upgrade
the compiler to Forte 6, which I think under the covers is
the C/C++ 5.x compiler.
I will give building Xerces 1.3 a try on this system this
weekend and let you know how I make out. But if you have the
old libraries, just link to them. They should still work
fine. If you need to upgrade to a new Xerces, though, I see
the problem.
I'm actually using Xerces-C and ICU on Solaris Sparc, X86,
HPUX, AIX, and RedHat Linux. Since I'm using ICU as the
Xerces transcoder, I have to build ICU first, so that
Xerces can link against it.
I just finished working out bugs in the ICU build yesterday,
and have not had time to work on Xerces yet. But I do expect
to do that this weekend.
At the worse, I can send you my libraries, if they build
correctly. Or I think I still have the Solaris 2.6 / C 4.2
/ Xerces 1.3 libs around. The only catch there is that they
were built to use the ICU transcoder, so you would need my
ICU libs too.
One thing to try, if you haven't already. The SUN compiler
had problems with the optimizer. You can turn that off,
either by not passing the -O compiler switch when you build,
or building the debug version using the -g switch, then
stripping the symbols out using the 'strip' command. It may
not be quite as efficient, but it should work fine. If you
are hitting the optimizer bugs, then this will solve it.
Regards,
--Carl
