Building Ingres on Solaris 10 Sparc

As far as I can see LD_AUDIT is not set in the environment

Well, something seems to be asking for auditing. Do you have a CCFLAGS defined that specifies -p or -P to the compiler? Is is possible that xerces was compiled with -p or -P?

I'm not familiar with any of the Solaris auditing stuff. There's a section in the Solaris Linker and Libraries guide that talks about the runtime auditing interface, maybe there's something in there that might help you.

I think I found a part of the problem. When building xerces-c-2.7.0 the following message appears on screen:

CC: Warning: Option -ptr/export/home/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/obj/SOLARIS passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise

I'll try to figure out how to disable audit.

[kschendel]

That option (-ptr/blah/blah) definitely would cause the problem. From the little I read in the Linker manual, -pfilename sets up filename as an audit library to be called when the dynamic linker (ld.so) tries to use the resulting object. That corresponds exactly to the error messages you're seeing.

So the next question is why the Xerces build is asking for -ptr/export/home/blah/blah. Perhaps some poking around in the Xerces build documentation might turn up an option that is inadvertently being invoked. In any case I think you're on the right track.

I poked around in the Xerces sources and I found a file called Makefile.incl. In this file I found the following ifeq statement

ifeq (${PLATFORM}, SOLARIS)
ifeq (${GXX}, yes)
PLATFORM_COMPILE_OPTIONS = -fPIC -D${PLATFORM} -D_REENTRANT
MAKE_SHARED = ${CXX} -D${PLATFORM} -shared ${LDFLAGS}
MAKE_SHARED_C = ${CC} -D${PLATFORM} -shared ${LDFLAGS}
ifeq (${TRANSCODER}, ICU)
ALLLIBS = ${LIBS} -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/ccs/lib \
-licuuc -licudata -lm -lgen
else
ALLLIBS = ${LIBS} -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/ccs/lib \
-lm -lgen
endif

ifeq (${MESSAGELOADER}, ICU)
ALLLIBS = ${LIBS} -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/ccs/lib \
-licuuc -licudata -lXercesMessages -lm -lgen
endif

else
PLATFORM_COMPILE_OPTIONS = -KPIC -mt -xs -ptr$(XML_OBJ_DIR) \
-features=rtti -D${PLATFORM} -D_REENTRANT
MAKE_SHARED = ${CXX} -D${PLATFORM} -G -ptr$(XML_OBJ_DIR) ${LDFLAGS}
MAKE_SHARED_C = ${CC} -D${PLATFORM} -G ${LDFLAGS}
ifeq (${TRANSCODER}, ICU)
ALLLIBS = -mt ${LIBS} -licuuc -licudata
else
ALLLIBS = -mt ${LIBS}
endif

If I'm right a ifeq statement is issued to check if the compiler was GXX or not. In my case it was not, because I used cc and CC. So in my case [I]-ptr$(XML_OBJ_DIR)[/I} are set in the variables PLATFORM_COMPILE_OPTIONS and MAKE_SHARED_C.

I will try two things:
1. Compile xerces with cc and CC without the -ptr flag.
and if that does not work
2. Compile xerces with gcc
