FW: VS2005 support for Xerces and Xalan - Windows x64
Hi all, I need to know by when the official support of Xerces and Xalan
on VS2005 (x86 and x86_64) build is going to be available. Is there a
way this can be expedited?
Thank you.

Note that, if you apply Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1, this bug is
fixed, and the tools.ini will work.
Another option is to simply copy all of the contents of the tools.ini into
the top-level Localization.mak.

There are a couple of options here. I built from the command line, so I
copied tools.ini to tools.bat, took out the comments, and put 'set ' at
the beginning of each line. Then I ran the batch file, and built from
the command line with nmake.
There are other options as well, including setting the environment
variables within Windows, or passing the parameters on the nmake command
line. I haven't tried those options.

Hi Earl, we are going with your suggestion (using xerces 2.7 and xalan
1.10) and have come up to the point where we face this issue you mention
below.
>>
Localization project won't read in parameters from tools.ini when using
nmake inside the VS2005 environment.

What did you do for working around this?

Hi,
I have had success building Xerces and Xalan on VS2005 (x86) with the
/Zc:wchar_t flag turned on, although the versions I am using are Xerces
2.4 and Xalan 1.7. Here's a quick overview of what I did:
For Xerces, I created a VC8 project by upgrading the VC6 project. It
will not work if you upgrade from VC7 project files!
For Xalan, I had to change the usage of one call to CreateFileW to go
back to CreateFileA. There are also some other gotchas, like the
Localization project won't read in parameters from tools.ini when using
nmake inside the VS2005 environment. Also you will need to build Xalan
with these preprocessor defines: XALAN_XALANDOMCHAR_USHORT_MISMATCH and
XALAN_USE_WCHAR_CAST_HACK.
Good luck,
Earl

Xerces-C 3.0 is held up because it won't build on all of the supported
platforms. Until the build issues are resolved, it won't be released.
Rather than hacking up Xalan-C 1.10, I suggest you simply use the head
of
the Xalan-C repository, as it's more stable than Xalan-C 1.10. It will
build with either Xerces-C 2.7, or with the head of the Xerces-C
repository.

Boy, do you ever go to sleep? Thanks for the information.
So that brings me to the next question - when does xerces 3.0 and xalan
1.11 release officially? Sorry for the bother. If it is not going to be
anytime soon, then I will rely on earl goodman's approach building
xerces 2.7 and xalan 1.10 with vc8.

Xerces-C 3.0 has _not_ been officially released. The source for the 3.0
builds is the head of the main svn repository. The source for the
corresponding Xalan 1.11 release will also be the head of the Xalan-C
repository.

Thanks for the response Dave. From what I understand Xerces 3.0 already
supports vs 2005 and that's good - so we can move to xerces 3.0.
http://wiki.apache.org/xerces/XercescBuildStatus
Now the question is for xalan - if we move to xerces 3.0 what version of
xalan should we use - when will xalan support xerces 3.0?

Xalan-C cannot release until Xerces-C has released, so there's nothing
we
can do. If you want to help expedite the release, you can volunteer to
help with sorting out the Xerces-C build issues. There have been
several
discussions on the Xerces-C Developer list on this very subject.
