(Looks like xercesc was using a bunch of deprecated stuff that got dropped in 10.6. Not sure if the xercesc project has caught up with this.)

[tobypeterson]

Maybe fixed in 3.0.1? Unfortunately, doesn't look like it's compatible...

I assume you mean substituting the 3.0.1 version of the offending files? Maybe we can get a backport out of them...

[docfaraday@…]

Ah, the files do not appear to exist in 3.0.1. And it doesn't look like the 3.0.1 stuff can be backported easily.

[tobypeterson]

I meant updating the port to 3.0.1

[docfaraday@…]

Ok, I am starting to get some traction on backporting strictly to OS X. The code would be completely broken on Mac OS < 10, but we don't care about that, do we? ;) Patches will follow, so others can test...

[docfaraday@…]

patch for Platforms/MacOS/Makefile.in

[docfaraday@…]

Better patch (removed a lot of useless code)

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Gentlemen, is version 3.0.1 the xerscec3 port?

[docfaraday@…]

Indeed it is! But, it would still be useful to be able to use the 2.8 port for the time-being, since the API is different.

After applying the patches I get the same errors as described by someone else ​on the macports-users mailing list.

[docfaraday@…]

Ahh, I was building my copy with the ICU transcoder because I needed source offsets, so I'm betting the MacOSUnicodeConverter wasn't being built in my case.

Seems that building xercesc only works in 64bit mode on Snow Leopard (with 64bit capable CPU). When I selected i386 as default build in macports.conf, xercesc object files were build with -arch i386 but when linking them together build system tried to create 64bit version and produced warning. Result is fairly useless library. Anyone else noticed such problem?

When i compiled it by hand I exported LDFLAGS, too. export CFLAGS="-arch i386" export CXXFLAGS="-arch i386" export LDFLAGS="-arch i386"

I also had to substitute int32_t by SInt32 in XMLPlatformUtils::platformInit

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of #22287, because although this was filed earlier, that has a patch that works.
