[SR-Users] Build error: "no type or storage class" when building "presence" modules on solaris (pa module)

[Bruce McAlister]

Hi All,

I have come across another build issue when building the presence module
bundle on Solaris 10. The specific error is as follows:

config.mak included

I have read the INSTALL text file and it seems that the pa module
requires libxml2. I have checked that this library is on the box. The
version of libxml2 on Solaris is as follows:

user at soldev:~ $ /usr/bin/xml2-config --version
2.6.23

user at soldev:~ $ /usr/bin/xml2-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -R/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -lm -lsocket -lnsl

user at soldev:~ $ /usr/bin/xml2-config --cflags
-I/usr/include/libxml2

I am building the following version of SIPRouter:

ser-2.99.99-pre3_src_2009-12-05_b8e67f

The way I am building SIPRouter is as follows:

make prefix=/opt/kamailio group_include="standard postgres presence" all

If I manually change directory into the modules_s/pa directory and issue
a "make" then the build still fails with the same error.

If I remove the "presence" group then the build completes successfully.

Any pointers for a resolution would be greatly appreciated. If you
require any additional information please dont hesitate to ask.

Thank you
Bruce
