Manual Building

Set some proper environment variables for the build:

export prefix="/usr";
export srclocation=`pwd`; 
export CXXFLAGS=-fPIC ; 

Set the option to make a SAML2-XACML2-C-Lib service to used threading. This is the default build option for both clients as service to be enabled.

export CPPFLAG="-DXACML_ADDING_THREADING" ; 

If needed, set a proper LIBDIR that makes sense for your intend.

export libdir="${prefix}/lib"

export libdir="lib"; 
tar xzf gsoap-2.7.17.tar.gz; 
cd ${SRCLOC}/gsoap-2.7
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/${libdir}
make && make DESTDIR=${SRCLOC}/gsoap-2.7-build install
cd ${SRCLOC}/xacml-1.0
./bootstrap && ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/${libdir} --with-gsoap=${SRCLOC}/gsoap-2.7-build/usr --disable-static
make
cd ${SRCLOC}/xacml-1.0
make DESTDIR=${prefix} install

Important notice for 64 bit Fedora / Red Hat

Use in BOTH configure commands the option:

--libdir=${prefix}/lib64
