rleigh-codelibre opened a new pull request #5: Add CMake build
URL: https://github.com/apache/xalan-c/pull/5
 
 
   This PR adds a CMake build system, intended to replace the Autoconf-based UNIX build, and also the Visual Studio and MacOS project files.  The aim is to provide a single cross-platform build system which can work with all compilers and build and development environments.  This matches a similar addition to the Xerces-C++ project last year.  In theory, there should be no ABI change from the output of the Autoconf build or the Visual Studio builds.  However, all build systems can be subtly different, and the binaries will need examining carefully to check that there are no changes to the exported symbols or compiler or linker flags which could result in breakage.
   
   I intend to merge this fairly shortly, and then iteratively work on any portability or compatibility issues identified prior to release.  The work presented here was done a good couple of years back, and extensively tested at that time.  I've done some additional work to add in the tests and samples.  The next step will be to add CI builds for Linux, MacOS and Windows to ensure that the builds and tests pass on a range of platforms.
   
   Comments, testing and feedback would be very much appreciated.
