undefined reference to xercesc_2_8::

[nigelbeameniii]

'make' fails when compiling either 1.5.1 or svn-trunk with multiple errors. On the same system version 1.4.4 and 1.5.0 compiles fine.

libgdal.so: undefined reference to `xercesc_2_8::XMLFormatter::operator<<(unsigned short)'
libgdal.so: undefined reference to `xercesc_2_8::XMLString::catString(unsigned short*, unsigned short const*)'
libgdal.so: undefined reference to 'xercesc_2_8::SAXParseException::SAXParseException(xercesc_2_8::SAXParseException const&)'
libgdal.so: undefined reference to `xercesc_2_8::XMLString::copyString(unsigned short*, unsigned short const*)'
libgdal.so: undefined reference to `xercesc_2_8::XMemory::operator new(unsigned int)'
libgdal.so: undefined reference to `xercesc_2_8::XMLUni::fgXercesScannerName'

It goes on with a bunch of similar errors for several more lines. I can update with the full list if necessary.

My configure options:

./configure --with-ogr --with-oci=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client --with-oci-include=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client/rdbms/public --with-xerces --with-xerces-lib=/opt/xerces/lib --with-xerces-inc=/opt/xerces/include --with-mrsid=/opt/geoexpress/ --with-jp2mrsid=yes --with-threads

Thanks,

Mateusz,

Can you look into this with an aim to correcting it for 1.5.2 since it is apparently a recently introduced problem?

[Mateusz Łoskot]

My environment is: Ubuntu 7.04, GCC 4.1.2, Xerces-C 2.8.0 (built by hand) and I am not able to reproduce this problem.

• ./configure

  mloskot@vm-ubuntu704-gdal:~/dev/gdal/_svn/trunk/gdal$ ./configure \
              --with-xerces=/usr/local/xerces-c-2.8.0 \
              --enable-debug \
              --without-libtool \
              --without-ogpython \
              --with-python \
              --with-threads \
              --with-libtiff=internal \
              --with-geotiff=internal \
              --with-gif=internal \
              --with-libz=internal \
              --with-mysql=`which mysql_config` \
              --with-pg=`which pg_config` \
              --with-sqlite3 \
              --with-netcdf

• GML driver based on Xerces-C is also avaialble

    -> "GML" (read/write)
  

Robert,

Could you try to do build with minimal options set?

./configure --with-xerces=/opt/xerces --without-libtool

Note, that you don't have to provide include and lib options for Xerces separately, but you can give only --with-xerces option with location of installation prefix.

Frank,

As I present above, I can not reproduce this problem. Also, Robert has not responded to my suggestion for quite a long time. Should I consider this ticket as worksforme ?

[warmerdam]

I agree. No point leaving this open with no way to reproduce.
