I am attaching a possible fix for this (please review if it is valid).

The file service_internal.c contains the definition of the new function readServiceFile, which calls getServiceFromFile; getServiceFromFile is defined in service_conf.tab.c and declared extern in service_internal.h.

Since WPS service implementations must be linked with service_internal.obj, I suggest moving the definition of readServiceFile to zoo_service_loader.c to avoid "unresolved external symbol" type linker errors. To complete this task, remove the declaration

extern int getServiceFromFile(maps*,const char*,service**);

from service_internal.h and put it in zoo_service_loader.c. Also put the declaration

extern int readServiceFile(maps* conf, char* file,service** service,char *name);

in zcfg2yaml.c

I'm having a problem getting rev 43 compiled on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) I'm using the standard g++ (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) 4.4.3 that comes with the distro.

I try to compile with python support like this: ./configure --with-python --without-java and ./configure completes successfully. make zoo_loader.cgi fails with make: * [service_internal_python.o] Error 1

I'm getting a bunch of warnings, of which this one seems important: cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wstrict-prototypes" is valid for Ada/C/ObjC but not for C++

And I'm getting one error: service_internal_python.c:204: error: ‘size’ was not declared in this scope

I'm not a C programmer, but it does look like something is missing there: PyDictObject?* PyDict_FromMap(map* t){

PyObject?* res=PyDict_New( ); map* tmp=t; while(tmp!=NULL){

if(strcasecmp(tmp->name,"value")==0){

map* ttmp=getMap(t,size); if(ttmp!=NULL)

...

Not sure if that's the reason I can't build zoo-kernel?

cheers, Niels
