Description of problem: Not all the include files are included in the poco-devel package. For example the expat headers are not included, but are required by some of the other poco headers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): poco-devel-1.3.6p2-1.fc13 How reproducible: All the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write a program that uses ParserEngine.h (or SAXParser.h) 2. Try to compile Actual results: Can't find "Poco/XML/expat.h" Expected results: For the program to compile. Additional info:
These headers belong to the system libraries and were excluded from poco-devel according to the Fedora packaging policy. Try to compile your program with POCO_UNBUNDLED symbol defined.
Thank you - yes that does work. But, although I understand removing the bundled headers for system packages. It would make sense to patch the installed poco headers so that they don't rely on files that no longer exist. Basically, just automatically define the POCO_UNBUNDLED symbol as this will always be the case for Fedora.
Okay, let's now perform the last test, if you can. Please add a necessary #define to the Foundation/include/Poco/Config.h file and see if it is sufficient. (Also make sure that the application fails to compile without that line.)
Yes, that seems to work a treat. Thank you.
