I have tried to install xlslib on my Gentoo box but it doesn't make!. I download the sources xlslib-1.0.0.zip and configurate but when I do make command I have this error:

I have tried to change the compiler to cc_r, cc, xlc, or gxlc, but it gave the same error.

Did you use the latest sources in the svn repository? The code in the cvs repository is out of date. The web site is also out of date - I really need to update it (just takes time I have not had).
So, make sure you are using svn - checkout the source from there.
If the problem still happens then repost and I'll look at it shortly (in a few days).

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Glancing at the output, a few guesses come to mind. First, the GNU autobuild system is creating very odd looking options for the compiler. Then, your system is trying to build a process with main instead of a library. Finally, it would appear that the C++ standard library is not getting linked in.
I can't provide more help since I, like all the other open source users of the GNU autobuild system, have little understanding of how it all works. I got a book on it that is now way out of date.
So, what do you do now? Well, a few ideas:
- google automake and your system and compiler, and see if you find others who had similar problems and found fixes. I have tried to get the latest GNU files included in xlslib, but have not checked in the last year. The relevant GNU utilities are in the bootstrap file.
- I downloaded the source myself this morning, and ran a bootstrap, configure, and build. Then, I uploaded the source along with the log of what I did (LOG.txt) to trunk/xlslib.zip. You may be able to use the config.h file that it generated, or you can at least diff it to see that what you have looks reasonable (not empty etc).
- Using the above log, you can construct your own makefile - it's not hard - and the library to build. The bootstrap output is (I think) config.h, which has system specific settings. With that and the source, you should be able to get the source to compile. At least you will have an example of it building successfully on one system.
- If you use an IDE, you can probably get that to also build the system. I did this on the Mac using its IDE, for a different reason, and it only took me about 10min to get working. Again, the critical resource is getting the config.h file.
David
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If you download these tools - gcc++ etc - the probability of getting the system to build goes up greatly, and I should be able to provide more support.
If you get these tools, verify they work by compiling some small main.c, and still have problems, if you will give me a ssh login I will continue to try and support you by working on your machine with my own login (I would not need admin privileges - just normal ones.)

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Actually, I am looking for a third-party an Excel Report generating tool like perl or xlslib for integrating with our application which is built in AIX C (not C++) compiler. I thought xlslib would be better than xlslib because it was more straightforward than embedded perl.
Out of my expectation, however, it turned out that xlslib could only be compiled with gcc or gcc++ only. So I think my effort will be in vain since the compiled objects from gcc++ could not be linked with our application which are compiled with another compiler, right? Of course, it would be too silly for us to re-compile our application with gcc++ in a bid to make it compatible with xlslib compiled objects
To be frank, I am very fresh in open source project compilation though I am very interested in it. I am not an server administrator but I would sometimes download some open tools for trials in AIX. Like this case, I downloaded and installed libtool, automake, autoconf, and m4 in my a/c in order to install xlslib. Though it does not succeed, I learned a lot from you
You are really helpful and great~! I really appreciate it :)
Thank you

Dear David

Actually, I don't know whether uchar_t is 16 bits or not. The following is the extract from /usr/include/sys/types.h:-
+143 * shorthand type definitions for unsigned storage classes
+144 */
+145 #ifndef _UCHAR_T
+146 #define _UCHAR_T
+147 typedef unsigned char uchar_t;
+148 #endif /*_UCHAR_T */
Even though I changed the xlslib's ../src/common/systype.h as you suggested, the same error still prompted:-

+139 typedef wchar_t uchar_t;

Please help
Thank you

Karl,
Glancing at the output, a few guesses come to mind. First, the GNU autobuild system is creating very odd looking options for the compiler. Then, your system is trying to build a process with main instead of a library. Finally, it would appear that the C++ standard library is not getting linked in.
I can't provide more help since I, like all the other open source users of the GNU autobuild system, have little understanding of how it all works. I got a book on it that is now way out of date.
So, what do you do now? Well, a few ideas:
- google automake and your system and compiler, and see if you find others who had similar problems and found fixes. I have tried to get the latest GNU files included in xlslib, but have not checked in the last year. The relevant GNU utilities are in the bootstrap file.
- I downloaded the source myself this morning, and ran a bootstrap, configure, and build. Then, I uploaded the source along with the log of what I did (LOG.txt) to trunk/xlslib.zip. You may be able to use the config.h file that it generated, or you can at least diff it to see that what you have looks reasonable (not empty etc).
- Using the above log, you can construct your own makefile - it's not hard - and the library to build. The bootstrap output is (I think) config.h, which has system specific settings. With that and the source, you should be able to get the source to compile. At least you will have an example of it building successfully on one system.
- If you use an IDE, you can probably get that to also build the system. I did this on the Mac using its IDE, for a different reason, and it only took me about 10min to get working. Again, the critical resource is getting the config.h file.

I tried to google search any AIX-automake specific threads. But I could not find any
To construct a log file would be difficult for me ...
I did not compile it via an IDE ... just did it via UNIX command prompt
Anyway, thank for your support
Regards
Karl
I assume you mean "construct a makefile". Have you built any other open source projects before?
You had said you were using a AIX-specific compiler. I googled "AIX and GNU" and found that IBM supports the GNU tools on AIX:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-gnu.html
If you download these tools - gcc++ etc - the probability of getting the system to build goes up greatly, and I should be able to provide more support.
If you get these tools, verify they work by compiling some small main.c, and still have problems, if you will give me a ssh login I will continue to try and support you by working on your machine with my own login (I would not need admin privileges - just normal ones.)

Thank for your support again
Actually, I am looking for a third-party an Excel Report generating tool like perl or xlslib for integrating with our application which is built in AIX C (not C++) compiler. I thought xlslib would be better than xlslib because it was more straightforward than embedded perl.
Out of my expectation, however, it turned out that xlslib could only be compiled with gcc or gcc++ only. So I think my effort will be in vain since the compiled objects from gcc++ could not be linked with our application which are compiled with another compiler, right? Of course, it would be too silly for us to re-compile our application with gcc++ in a bid to make it compatible with xlslib compiled objects
To be frank, I am very fresh in open source project compilation though I am very interested in it. I am not an server administrator but I would sometimes download some open tools for trials in AIX. Like this case, I downloaded and installed libtool, automake, autoconf, and m4 in my a/c in order to install xlslib. Though it does not succeed, I learned a lot from you
You are really helpful and great~! I really appreciate it :)
Thank you
Regards

I've run the ./configure script but I get an error after make:
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Pete
Yes - for the present time comment out that line in xlsys.h:
# include "ac-config.linux32.h"
This is a problem on our side and we'll fix it shortly. That file should not be included for you.
Thanks for the especially quick response. That worked. -Pete
