[longish] Xerces doesn't build on Solaris? ( was: Generating XML from DOM )

[james . richardson]

Cool, thanks for that... I was still using the previous version ( the
XML4J_3_0_0EA3 one ).
So I got the latest version, and tried to build the jar files ( im
running Solaris 2.5.1 ).. and

1)   The makefile ( src/Makefile.incl ) is not compatible with sun make

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/richja/lib/xerces-1_0_3% make -n jars
make: Fatal error in reader: ./src/Makefile.incl, line 3: Unexpected end
 of line seen.

2)   So I tried GNU make .... without much success too.

The problem is the following bit of shell script run as part of the
build: Sun ksh objects to it:

make[6]: Entering directory
`/home/richja/lib/xerces-1_0_3/src/org/apache/xerces/dom/events'
if [ -n "" ]; \
then for i in ;do \
        echo "/home/richja/bin/make -C $i"; /home/richja/bin/make -C $i;
 \
     done; \
fi
/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1: `;' unexpected

I guess that its trying to find the packages to build, there are none,
so the expansion of $(DIRS) is "", but the for command requires some
parameters,
and it falls in a heap.

I made a (low-tech) adjustment to the src/Makefile.incl:

dirs::
        if [ -n "$(DIRS)" ]; \
        then for i in  x $(DIRS);do \
                if [ "$$i" != "x" ]; \
                        then echo "$(MAKE) -C $$i"; $(MAKE) -C $$i; \
                fi; \
             done; \
        fi

cleandirs::
        if [ -n "$(DIRS)" ]; \
        then for i in $(DIRS);do \
                if [ "$$i" != "x" ]; \
                        then echo "$(MAKE) -C $$i clean"; $(MAKE) -C $$i
 clean; \
                fi; \
             done; \
        fi

and this now works.... (but still only with GNU make)

Then trying to build the docs:

 is GNU make )

Any thoughts?

TIA!
