[Quickfix-developers] a few build issues on redhat7.2

[<mi...@ju...>]

I just finished building quickfix 1.0.4, and fixed a few minor problems
along the way.  Guaging from the archives, it's possible that the build
hasn't been tested on rh7.2 before, so I thought I'd pass along the things
I needed to do (all pretty simple) to get a complete build.

I'm building on redhat7.2 (developer system install), with the following
packages:

gcc-2.96-98
gcc-c++-2.96-98
libstdc++-2.96-98
libstdc++-devel-2.96-98

libxml-1.8.14-2
libxml-devel-1.8.14-2
libxml2-2.4.10-0.7x.2
libxml2-devel-2.4.10-0.7x.2

note:  Redhat comes with libxml2 by default, but SAXContentHandler.h
requires parser.h, parserInternals.h, and tree.h from the gnome-xml/
directory, which is only in the original libxml.  This is the only
conflict I ran into with only libxml2 installed.

ruby-1.6.4-2
ruby-libs-1.6.4-2

Alog the way I needed to do the following things:

LTCONFIG_VERSION isn't set anywhere in libtool.  I just added a line to
set it equal to 1.3.5, which is what ltmain.sh and ltconfig have and had
no further problems with it.

gcc throws a warning for every header file that doesn't end with a blank
line.  I just ran a quick script to append a newline to each and got no
more warnings.

If the include directory under the prefix you configured for doesn't
exist, make install will fail.  I was building in my home directory before
I installed globally and hit this.  Easily fixed, obviously, and it's a
minor thing but I thought I'd mention it anyway.


And that's that.  I'm going through the tests now and I'll be fooling with
it over the next couple days.  I'll report back if I encounter anything
strange.
