#1271 Manual Build wsdlh2 does not work (Version 2.8.81)

[Erich Schober]

To Version 2.8.80 I could build soapcpp2 und wsdl2 manully

1. cd gsoap/src
2. make -f MakefileManual soapcpp2
3. cd gsoap/wsdl
4. make -f MakefileManual secure
5. make -f Makefile Manual

From Version 2.8.81 it is not possible.

I get following ErrorMessage:

In file included from ../stdsoap2.h:920:0,
from ../stdsoap2.cpp:65:
../stdsoap2.cpp:565:12: error: expected unqualified-id before 'int'
extern int h_errno;

Operating System is AIX 7.2

Gsoap 2.8.97: output of build process

[Robert van Engelen]

The manual makefiles do not check for AIX, but stdsoap2.h checks only for AIX4.3 and AIX4.1. which are out-dated at this time.

AIX is a pain due to non-POSIX compliance, so we need autoconf to do the job.

If you try the following to see if we can get the manual build to work that would be nice:

change stdsoap2.h around line 339 to:

# elif defined(_AIX)

then build soapcpp2 and wsdl2h with make -f MakefileManual in src and wsdl.

If that does not work, please use ./configure && make to build.

Thank you very much for your support
