[agtk-devel] What version of xerces-c to build on linux

[Steve C. <ste...@mq...>]

I'm trying to build the CVS HEAD on my Debian linux box but I can't
get the --enable-xml option to work due to incompatabilities with
my xerces install.

For a start the configure tricks to find the name of the library
fail miserably, a plain -lxerces-c works but configure was appending
the version number to that.  An edit in configure.in fixed this for
me, but I don't know what the general fix is, perhaps an option to
name the xerces library flag directly.

Trying to build with this configuration I get a failure relating
to some class or other not being there.

In file included from agf/agfXercesUtils.cc:9:
agf/agfXercesUtils.h:28: error: parse error before `,' token
agf/agfXercesUtils.h:34: error: parse error before `public'
agf/agfXercesUtils.h:40: error: destructors must be member functions
etc...

I have

/usr/lib/libxerces-c.so -> libxerces-c.so.25

the version is 2.5.0, which is the same one listed in the INSTALL file and

gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-12)

Any clues?
