Xerces port for VxWorks 6.x using POSIX
Could somebody direct me to any information about getting the Xerces
libraries built and running on a VxWorks 6.x platform?
I need to migrate the build into the managed build interface of the
WindRiver Workbench (which is essentially Eclipse with some custom
plugins), rather than rely on the provided automake, so information
about gcc 4.1 compiler flags and preprocessor defines would be very
welcome.
Also, if someone has done this and could provide information about their
experience, I would appreciate it very much.

Hi Nick,
I too hit some major snags when porting Xerces to VxWorks 6.8.
The major issues I'm seeing is the incomplete and spotty implementation
of Wind River's POSIX "Compliant" interfaces (quotes are intentional).
I'm guessing that anyone who's tried the port has run into this and
moved on to something else less troublesome. Not the fault of the Xerces
development team, to be fair.
It looks like with some effort that the holes can all be worked around,
but I don't have sufficient time to hunt it all down and provide
replacement functions for the stuff that's missing just now.
I'll take a look at the Expat port from Wind River. However, based on my
experience with WRS, I'd be willing to bet there's trimmed out
functionality that I'd like to have for what I'm doing.
Thanks for your information,
Bill

Bill,
I recently re-sent an email asking for help about xerces support for
vxWorks
6.x. Beside Boris's response to me a few months ago about a similar
situation
using another OS, no one seems to have built xerces with vxWorks 6.x.
I also found out from Windriver that they don't know of any user who is
using
xerces with vxWorks 6.x. I was able to build the xerces code but hit a
snag
when I tried to build the ICU library. That is why I decided to move to
Expat
which is offered as part of the webservices component from Windriver.
If you or someone else on this board knows of someone who was able to
build it,
please have them share this information with us.
Thanks,
Nick

I just confirmed with one of our customers that they are using Xerces-C++
3-series with VxWorks 6.3. They didn't use the (automake) build system
that comes with Xerces-C++ but rather created a custom Workbench project.
They also had to work around some compiler errors (presumably due to
VxWorks defects) by modifying a few Xerces-C++ files.
The good news is that they were able to build it using the Iconv
transcoder so ICU is not necessary. So if I were to try to build Xerces-C++
3.1.1 on VxWorks I would try the minimal configuration with the following
configure options first:
--disable-shared
--disable-threads
--disable-network
--enable-transcoder-iconv
--enable-msgloader-inmemory
