IRIX changes ...

[David Nickerson]

Hi There,   I have also just got Xerces-C version 1.1.0 compiled under SGI IRIX 6.5, using MIPSpro 7.30 on an O2. I'm also compiling n32 binaries, and will eventually be looking at 64 bit binaries on an Origin 2000.   Sounds like I made similar changes to make it work, although instead of changing PlatformUtils.hpp, I pretty much replaced IRIXPlatformUtils.cpp with LinuxPlatformUtils.cpp (appears that a lot of code which was moved to the "code attic" in the Linux version was still in the IRIX version).   To start with, things were not looking good, and I thought I had traced back the problem to the native transcoder, so I compiled the ICU libraries and used them instead of the native transcoder. However, this did not fix the problem - so I compiled a debug version of the ICU libraries and Xerces-C - which appears to fix all my problems and work perfectly with all the samples I have tried. Not sure yet whether this is a problem with the changes I made or the optimisation of the 7.30 compilers (any suggestions would be welcome!!).   I have only just joined the mailing list and can't seem to get the file attachments from the archive, but would like to compare my changes with Matthew Baker's if someone could please send them to me.   If anyone is interested, a list of the changes I made can be found at http://www.esc.auckland.ac.nz/People/Students/Nickerso/Xerces-C/index.html     Thanks, David.
