No rule to make target gsoap/extras

Umar Noor — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:47:15 -0000

Hi Rob,

All the latest versions of gsoap when downloaded from source do not have gsoap/extras and this is leading to make failures.
The Makefile.am and Makefile.in have the directive as:

nobase_pkgdata_DATA = $(top_srcdir)/gsoap/import/ $(top_srcdir)/gsoap/plugin/ $(top_srcdir)/gsoap/WS/ $(top_srcdir)/gsoap/custom/ $(top_srcdir)/gsoap/extras/*

The bold text in the above directive is leading to issues as it the directory gsoap/extras is missing in the tar.gz distro. I had to explicitly patch this file and remove the highlighted text to get the make sorted.

Is this expected and users explicitly need to patch the Makefile after configure or you are going to patch it.

Please let me know.

Thanks
Umar

Contributing changes for HPE NonStop

Randall S. Becker — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 18:53:43 -0000

Requesting information on contributing changes to gSoap for current HPE NonStop (formerly Tandem) distributions. The existing code is out of date with current systems. I have patches to make it work. Some assistance is needed to change a few build parameters, specifically for threaded builds and use of rpl_ methods.

Out-of-source build not working

Mattias Ellert — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 08:48:30 -0000

The out-of-source build is not working:

mkdir build
cd build
../configure ....

For out-of-source build to work the $(srcdir) and $(builddir) must be correct and not interchanged for eachother. The attached patch fixes this.
The patch comes in two versions.
One that applies on top of the fix in https://sourceforge.net/p/gsoap2/patches/186/
A second one that combines the two in a single patch.

Fix build with "make --shuffle=reverse"

Mattias Ellert — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 09:54:22 -0000

This is a proposed fix for a bug originally reported to Debian:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1105407

"make --shuffle=reverse" runs the build targets i reverse order while still honouring the target dependencies stated in the makefiles. This exposes places where the makefiles depend on the default bulld order to build stuff in the right order without declaring dependencies between the targets properly.

The attached patch allows building with "make --shuffle=reverse".

#185 Allow to override build date

steph96 — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 09:04:39 -0000

The generated soapC.cpp has also a timestamp in it. It is in the source code and thus leads to trouble with ccache in our environment. See https://sourceforge.net/p/gsoap2/code/HEAD/tree/gsoap/samples/calc_xcode/soapC.cpp#l21 for example where
SOAP_SOURCE_STAMP("@(#) soapC.cpp ver 2.8.135 2024-07-01 20:02:42 GMT")
is written to the cpp file. Please also replace the timestamp there.

The provided path is only for the wsdl2h executable not for soapcpp2. Please add support to soapcpp2 also.

Thanks.

Allow to override build date

Without this patch, virtualbox's gsoapH_from_gsoap.h file and resulting .so
files (via build-id hash) always differed between builds.

See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good
and https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
for the definition of this variable.

This patch was done while working on reproducible builds for openSUSE.
