Building ovaldi on Solaris 11.1

[Ben]

I've been trying to build ovaldi on Solaris 11.1 with gcc/g++ 4.5.2 for a couple of days now. I started by following the Solaris build notes found here: https://sourceforge.net/p/ovaldi/wiki/Build%20notes/

I have xerces and xalan installed. I was able to get past a number of build errors by adding a few include lines to various files, but I am now stuck on a build error that I can't for the life of me figure out.

gmake: *** [../../src/Definition.o] Error 1

From my research, this error could be caused by an include within a namespace, but the log.h include fix I made was not done in any namespace, and the other include I had to add (<algorithm>) was also done outside of namespaces. I even tried removing the <algorithm> include and did a gmake clean && gmake and am still getting the same error.

Does anyone have suggestions for getting past this issue?

Looks like the issues are in <string> and <sstream>. Can your toolchain compile/link a simple app that just uses those headers? E.g. create an app does nothing and just includes <string> and see if the error occurs. It might help narrow in on the culprit.

I created a very basic C++ program that uses some basic functionality from <string> and <sstream>. It compiles and runs fine an my system.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{
  std::string s ("Hello all!");

  std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
  std::cout << s << std::endl;

  std::stringstream ss;

  ss << 100 << ' ' << 200;

  int foo,bar;
  ss >> foo >> bar;

  std::cout << "foo: " << foo << '\n';
  std::cout << "bar: " << bar << '\n';
  return 0;
}

Output:

root@audit-solaris11-1:~/ovaldi/project/solaris# g++ main.cpp && ./a.out
Hello World!
Hello all!
foo: 100
bar: 200

Ok, that's helpful. So the toolchain is probably okay. Perhaps there's a macro misconfiguration. What if you remove the -DBSD_COMP from the commandline? Or -DSUNOS? Are those symbols used in cctype, ctype.h, or ctype_base.h? Perhaps they're interfering with something in the Definition.cpp translation unit.

I don't have a solaris 11 machine to test with anymore, nor can I "officially" spend time on this anymore as part of my job. So I am having to come at this from a "what would I do if I were you" perspective. Wish I could be more help.
