Unable to compile staff (rev 710) on Mac OSX 10.8 Montain Lion (Xcode 4.4.1)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When trying to compile staff from svn (rev 710) on my mac (OS X 10.8 and XCode 
v4.4.1) I get two problems:

 - compilation error in staff/core/utils: 
src/tostring.h:69:14: error: assigning to 'bool *' from incompatible type 
'bool'; take the address with &
      pbIsOk = bIsOk;

This error can be easily solved.

 - linking error: 
make -C modules/axis2services make
/usr/sbin/apxs -S CFLAGS="" -c mod_axis2services.c
/usr/share/apr-1/build-1/libtool --silent --mode=compile 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.8.xctoolchain/usr/bi
n/cc  -I/usr/include/apache2  -I/usr/include/apr-1   -I/usr/include/apr-1   -c 
-o mod_axis2services.lo mod_axis2services.c && touch mod_axis2services.slo
env: 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.8.xctoolchain/usr/bi
n/cc: No such file or directory

The wrong path is used: OSX10.8.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc must me replaced by : 
XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc

Thank you for that issue report.

Bug with tostring is now fixed in r711.

Can't fix linking error, because I don't invoke gcc directly. I just call: 

/usr/sbin/apxs -S CFLAGS="" -c mod_axis2services.c

Think you need to look into apr/apxs settings to fix path to gcc.

Concerning the second bug I thought it were coming from my axis install I 
compiled before upgrading my system but it seems that it's a problem coming 
from the binary provided by Apple with Montain Lion.
More info in the following thread : 
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/58186/how-to-compile-mod-wsgi-on-mounta
in-lion-by-fixing-apxserror-command-failed-w

So the best solution (which is the one presented in this thread) is to crate a 
symbolic link : sudo ln -s 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/ 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/OSX10.8.xctoolchain

But all this thing is related to the compilation of the apache module for axis 
and staff (If I fully understand what's all about). Perhaps this 
compilation/installation of the module should be optional?

in fact /usr/bin/apxs seems buggy and points to the wrong cc path.
Perhaps the symbolic link creation should better be specified in the page 
explaining the installation of staff on Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
By the way, to install axis, I didn't the procedure you are giving on the 
corresponding page. It's not working for me.
If you want I can provide you the list of commands I'm running to perform the 
compilation on my machine?

Regard.

Regarding symbolic link, think it is too specific situation.

If you don't need axis2services module just remove Makefile.dep from 
staff/modules/axis2services/ directory.

You have more recent version of Mac OS X and XCode. Axis2/C may compile without 
a patch for old XCode.

Please provide the list of commands, if you could.. I will add it into 
installation manual.
