Building Xerces-3.2.1 with cmake on Windows

Hi,

According to the build instructions I try to build xerces-3.2.1 on
Windows 10 with VC14.
I type:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=I:\tools\x64 I:\tools\xerces-c-3.2.1\src


and I get:

I:\tools\xerces-c-3.2.1\build>cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=I:\tools\x64 I:\tools\xerces-c-3.2.1\src

Sorry, I didn't notice that.

Yes, it's critical for Windows, that drives MSI installation policy.

It was removed in 
https://github.com/apache/xerces-c/commit/66023ed75fd2587d80fb7cb3ed4101b5ec88dc89

Version.rc was part of the Win32MsgLoader implementation, and it 
provided the string translations.  It was dropped with the 
Win32MsgLoader removal.

If the rc metadata is important to retain, we could provide a message 
loader-independent rc file with just the version/vendor metadata?

It doesn't appear to be a distribution building regression, rather the file isn't in svn on trunk that I can see unless it's been renamed. I suspect it's a regression in the change that builds more of the version-specific files, since this would have been one to do that with.

Roger,

Thanks, that did the trick.
One minor thing:
In former versions there was a .rc file for some dll resources, e.g. the 
version number.
Why has this been removed?

Remove the \src from the source path.  You are missing the top-level 
CMakeLists.txt.  It should work with this change.
