Building latest Xalan (1.4?) with STLPort 5 and Xerces 2.0 on Windows (2000)

[Drazen DOTLIC <Dr...@trema.com>]

Hello,

It seems that some(all?) problems Xalan 1.3 had are gone in the latest
source code snapshot... I have tried building latest Xalan, latest
Xerces (both nightly snapshots) with the latest beta STLPort (5.0 from
April 9th this year), everything compiles fine, and there are no more
errors (crashes) or leaks when using Xalan.exe. I haven't modified any
of the headers and just put STLPort's directories at the top of include
and lib list... This looks very promising indeed. Note that I haven't
tried linking both libraries with my code, but I do not expect big
problems here.

I noted one small problem though - all project files for latest Xalan
still reference xerces-c_1D.lib - in order to use Xerces 2 this just has
to be renamed to xerces-c_2D.lib (isn't Xerces2 preferred to go along
with the new Xalan anyway?).

Now, what I would really like to hear is that release of new Xalan is
imminent :) Dave?

Regards,

Drazen
