Hello,

I'm trying to create a libxerces-c package for backfire. As I'm not very experienced with building OpenWrt I just created a simple makefile to see if it appears when I run "make menuconfig", but I can't see it listed under Libraries.

This is the makefile.

define Package/libxerces/description
  Xerces-C++ is a validating XML parser written in a portable subset of
C++.  Xerces-C++ makes it easy to give your application the ability 
to read and write XML data. A shared library is provided for parsing,
generating, manipulating, and validating XML documents. Xerces-C++ is
faithful to the XML 1.0 recommendation and associated standards (DOM
1.0, DOM 2.0, SAX 1.0, SAX 2.0, Namespaces, XML Schema Part 1 and
Part 2).  It also provides experimental implementations of XML 1.1
and DOM Level 3.0.  The parser provides high performance, modularity,
and scalability.

.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with that MakeFile?

Hi,

with this changed Makefile, I was able to compile the package for a MIPS platform:

Your next steps should be to fill the "Package/libxerces/install" (or "Build/InstallDev") parts, check for the correct dependencies, maybe add some configure options to reduce them, ...

Good luck!

PS: Feel free to send the final package to the developers list (openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org, needs registration)

Hi, thanks for your answer. Now I can see the package, but I'm having another problem when trying to compile.

When I run

 make package/libxerces-c/compile V=99

It gives me the following error

I found this post about the problem, http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gn … bugs/7048, but the patch is already applied. I tried to put "" around AS=mips-linux-uclibc-gcc -c -Os -pipe -mips32 -mtune=mips32 -funit-at-a-time -fhonour-copts, but the error persisits.

That's the idea

Update:

I was able to compile the code, I was putting "" around AS=mips-linux-uclibc-gcc -c -Os -pipe -mips32 -mtune=mips32 -funit-at-a-time -fhonour-copts in the wrong file.

But now I'm having another problem. I compiled another library(libnbee) that depends on libxerces and it was ok. Now I'm trying to compile a program that depends on libnbee, but when I run configure, it gives me errors like this:

/home/eder/work/openwrt/backfire/staging_dir/target-mips_r2_uClibc-0.9.30.1/root-ar71xx//usr/lib/libnbee.so: undefined reference to `xercesc_3_1::XMLPlatformUtils::fgMemoryManager'

running the nm command on libnbee.so shows lots of undefined functions. How do I link the libraries?

You need to inject -lxerces in LDFLAGS or similar.

I still couldn't compile the application dependent on netbee. I'm still the error mentioned above.

I'm trying to pass the library using the following code on netbee MakeFile

define Build/Configure

    patch --ignore-whitespace Toolchain.cmake < ./patches/003-Toolchain.patch
    mv Toolchain.cmake $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/$(PKG_NAME)/src/

Updating:

Compiling netbee for the build machine, I found that when creating the shared objects, the command is not linking with libxerces-c.

Also there are lots of warnings like this:

/home/eder/work/openwrt/backfire/build_dir/target-mips_r2_uClibc-0.9.30.1/libnbee-0.3/nbeesrc-jan-10-2013/src/nbee/globals/utils.c:1: note: someone does not honour COPTS correctly, passed 0 times

The libxerces-c is installed in staging_dir/target-mips_r2_uClibc-0.9.30.1/root-ar71xx/usr/lib/ (I would like to know why the makefile are sending to this directory...), while other libraries are installed on staging_dir/target-mips_r2_uClibc-0.9.30.1/usr/lib. I'm wondering if the library is not found due to his location.

I also trying to build a package dependent of netbee.

ederlf how you build netbee?
can you share your netbee package with patches and everything?

The discussion might have continued from here.
