Building Sigil under Linux

[st_albert]

OK, since we penguins are about to be turned out into the cold, cruel world, I am trying to build Sigil 0.3.4 from the source code zip file, following the directions included.

All proceeds well until the following:

Linking CXX static library ../../lib/libXerces.a

My system is Debian Sid, with KDE desktop environment. It already had most of the dependencies, and I only had to install cmake, libqt4-dev and libqtwebkit-dev.

From the error messages, it seems that the problem is in the Xerces (eta: actually XercesExtensions) source code, yes?

So, what now?

OK, nevermind. I was able to get it to work by editing CmakeCache.txt to add the -fpermissive compiler flag to the release build flags.

Not sure if that's what was really needed, but it seems to work.
