Summary: expat.h compile error: enum XML_Status
Initial Comment:
c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../autocfg -g -O2 -c
context.cpp -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/context.lo
In file included from parser.h:45,
from guard.h:143,
from context.cpp:45:
/usr/include/expat.h:657: use of enum `XML_Status'
without previous declaration
/usr/include/expat.h:736: multiple definition of `enum
XML_Status'
when building sablotron.
Hand editing the file to place the def of enum
XML_Status before any references to it fixes the problem.

You need to contact the PHP maintainers regarding this,
though it may be a matter of needed to remove config.cache
and then running configure again.
The problem has definately been fixed in Expat 1.95.7.

Hello,
I've installed Expat 1.95.7 and am getting this error...
PHP 4.34 seems to have included Expat 1.95.6 - I wonder if
I'm in conflict here?
swapping PHP's version of expat.h with version in 1.95.7 did
not move things along any further, got same error...
any suggestions?

Expat 1.95.7 has been released and includes the fix for this
problem.
Please update to Expat 1.95.7 if you're still having
problems related to this issue.

I downloaded the newest expat.h from the CVS, stuck it in
the /lib directory and recompiled expat, Sablot seems to
configure correctly, now.

We intend to release soon. All that is holding us up
is finding the time to actually do it. Fred will be back
in a week, and I hope he can find the time then.
Now, since your users are expert enough to build
Expat from source, what is holding them back from
using the current CVS? It is pretty much what we
will release, except possibly for minor details, or if
someone finds a bug, of course.
We do actually want users to build from CVS, as our
desire to have stable file releases means that we
want our changes to be tested as much as possible.

Are you planning -- please? -- to make another file release
containing these fixes? Asking my users to build expat from
the current release is not working, because of this bug. As a
result, I'm recommending to my users to get/use an older
version of expat without the new nifty features.

Has been fixed in CVS for a long time.
Btw, CVS is generally stable, as we are quite careful
to commit changes only when they have been tested.
No guarantees, of course.

this is simply a matter of the expat.h file being
wrongly organised so that "enum XML_Status"
is used several times before it is declared.
30 seconds copying and pasting will fix it.
currently nothing using expat.h compiles under
gcc 3.2.3

After I read all this comments, i saw that u were right. : )
I placed the following definitions
enum XML_Status {
XML_STATUS_ERROR = 0,
#define XML_STATUS_ERROR XML_STATUS_ERROR
XML_STATUS_OK = 1
#define XML_STATUS_OK XML_STATUS_OK
};
at the beginning of the expat.h file, before any call to it,
and it compiled succesfully.
After this I compiled sablot with no problems.
thank u guys ... : )

Yes, the file to fix is expat.h.
Two things you can do:
1) get the latest expat.h from CVS, or
2) use your editor to search expat.h for the first
location where XML_STATUS is used and then
move the definition of XML_STATUS to some
location before that point.

I have the same problem has other senders, but the fix is
unclear as you did not indicate which file needs fixing (I
assume expat.h) or line number to place the def of enum
XML_Status. Please assume people are stupid..

Changed priority to highest to make it more visible,
so that double reporting incidents occur less frequently.

same problem, same fix when building 1.95.6 on vms
(just downloaded .tar.gz & processed - got the rpm, but
don't know what to do with it - not an archive type I know
how to handle on vms, or windows either)

Strange - I had no problems with MS VC++ 6.0.
Which service pack level have you applied?

This makes Expat 1.95.6 unusable for people who create
libraries that depend on Expat but don't include their own
copy of Expat. Sure, I can edit expat.h and fix it, but my
users should not be expected to do that.
For that reason I'm staying with Expat 1.95.5 until this
problem is fixed. It'd be really nice if you could make
Expat 1.95.7 soon..
In my case GCC 2.95.2 and VC++ 6.0 are complaining.

It *is* fixed in CVS. Are you sure you checked out the
right version, which is expat.h 1.51?

I've not checked the C89 standard yet, but Expat 1.95.6 is
certainly dodgy in this case. ;-( The first draft of the C spec I
found online certainly seemed to imply that any use of an
incomplete enum is not allowed; I'm not likely to go out and
buy a copy of the final spec to check further. ;-)
As noted, this has been fixed in CVS. Fixed the summary to
better indicate what this report is about, and lowered the
priority to get it out of the way for maintainers.

So far only gcc3.2 has complained.
Not sure if this is a bug, since most compilers accept it,
but it has been fixed in CVS already anyway.
Set resolution status to fixed, but leave open.
There may be other users who would report this as a bug
and I want them to see the open report instead of
having duplicates created.
Assigned to Fred - since he may know more about
whether this truly is a bug.
