xercesc fails to build on os x leopard

[roumbaba]

Hi,

xercesc fails to build on my macbook pro running os X 10.5.8 with macport 1.8.1 and Xcode 3.1.2. I get the following error:

bash-3.2# sudo port clean --all -f xercesc

If possible, consider using xercesc3 instead.

[domiman@…]

Does xalanc work with xercesc3? Atm, building xalanc pulls xercesc as dependancy.

Replying to domiman@…:

Does xalanc work with xercesc3?

I have no idea. Please let us know if you find out the answer.

I made some changes to xercesc to help it build in r62014 and r62017, but I don't have a Leopard machine with me at the moment to test, and your output above was insufficient to tell what error you actually encountered. Please "sudo port selfupdate" and let us know if it now works; if it still fails, please "sudo port clean xercesc" and "sudo port -d install xercesc" and attach the complete output as a file to this ticket.

It now works! Thanks. Baba.
