Hi Ken and all,Micael
(Aside: what's up with the sudden interest in building from source? This
was broken for ages and no one noticed 'til today...)
Anyway: I'd be surprised if there were many java tools that came with
install targets for their Makefile's or build scripts. The bottom line is
that you put xercesImpl.jar where you need to use it: in some directory
referenced by your classpath Yf you have a standalone application, perhaps
in a WEB-INF directory if you want to access it from a servlet, or maybe
somewhere else if you needs are different. So long as the JVM can find the
xerces classes according to the class loading strategy you're using, Xerces
couldn't care less. :)
Question for the list: should we repost the tools archives? It'd be easy
enough to do and nothing's changed since 2.2.1; if I get any +1's I'll do
it.
Cheers,

Hi. I downloaded and tried to build Xerces2-J v2.2.1 on my Debain (3.0)
box. When I ran build.sh, I received the following error:

A quick google for the error revealed this link:

However, based on the info there, I'm not quite sure how to fix this. It
only confirms that you guys know about the bug and have
fixed it. The time/date stamp on the .tar.gz I downloaded was recent (a
little over 10 days old) and the bug was discovered in the
begininng of October. I thought the bug wouldn't be present in this newer
version I'm trying to build.
I really have 2 options here but I'm a little confused. My first option
(and preferable) would be to install the binary
distribution. The problem I have with that is the installation
instructions lack installation info. It describes how to unarchive
the downloaded archives, what the archives contain, and which archives I
will need but... what do I do once they're unarchived?
Which files go where?
My other option is to try and fix the source so it compiles correctly. I'm
hoping that, in the end, there is a ``make install''
that places files in the correct location.
On a side note, the build instructions for this software package is
somewhat misleading. It details the Xerces-J source and tools
should be extracted to the same directory. Extracting the Xerces-J source
archive creates a xerces-2_2_1 directory. Unarchiving
the Xerces tools creates a tools directory. So if I unarchived both to a
directory called ~xml/, I would then have ~xml/tools and
~xml/xerces-2_2_1 which will cause the build to fail. The documentation
should state the tools archive needs to be extracted IN
the directory created after extracting the xerces archive so the Xerces
tools directory is in the correct location. This was
fairly easy for me to spot but may confuse others.
