The following are various notes, scribbles, thoughts, etc. from doing various Source-type things. None of these are structured of "definate" - just things I write down for reference. If anything you find here is useful, great, but use it at your own risk!!!

Makin a Linux enviroment to build the SDK
The Compiling under Linux page states that GCC 3.4.X is recommended for compiling the SDK and that GCC 4.X doesn't work. Slackware 10 is recommended as a starting point.
Hmm, how to use newer Linux releases for compiling the SDK? Fedora Core 6 maybe? Ships with GCC 4.1.1 so need to get older version of GCC running...
- Install Fedora Core 6 (in my case on a virtual machine under VMWare)
- Run updates to make sure default packages are up-to-date.
- Install the older compat version of GCC, etc. (Can use the Add/Remove Software tool if you don't like the command line.)
yum install compat-gcc-34 yum install compat-gcc-34-g77 yum install compat-gcc-34-c++ yum install compat-libstdc++-33 yum install compat-db yum install compat-readline43
Not sure if I need the old Fortran/DB/Readline stuff but what the hey...
- Install Xerces
Note:Using Xerces 2.7.0 as a pre-compiled package caused all sort of problems. The only way I could get vcpm to work was to re-build Xerces 2.6.0 from source. cd /usr/local/src tar zxvf xerces-c-src_2_6_0.tar.gz cd /usr/local/src/xerces-c-src_2_6_0/src/xerces export XERCESCROOT=/usr/local/src/xerces-c-src_2_6_0 ./runConfigure -p linux -c gcc34 -x g++34 gmake gmake install
The lib and header files needed by vcpm are then located in /usr/local/src/xerces-c-src_2_6_0/lib and /usr/local/src/xerces-c-src_2_6_0/includes respectively.
- Check versions?
/usr/bin/gcc34 -v gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-4)
ls -l /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so -> libxerces-c.so.27.0
Doing the above should give you a the basic stuff you need to compile the SDK.
