Building under MinGW/MSYS
I am developing various applications on Windows systems using
MinGW/MSYS.
I have need of an XML library and have identified Xerces as being
suitable.
I have obtained the Xerces sources and read the documentation.
I can find no reference to building under MinGW/MSYS. I have tried
various hacks to make it think that I am building under either Cygwin
or under Linux but these have only been partially successful.
Has any one had any success building the Xerces library under
MinGW/MSYS? If so I would be grateful for any pointers.
Best regards,
Chris Bishop

Re[2]: Building under MinGW/MSYS
Posted by Chris Bishop <ch...@bishop.net.nz>.
Dear Developers,
I sent this message a short time ago and got some useful replies and
was making some progress in building Xerces 2.5 using MinGW/MSYS.
Then, fortunately, I was browsing around the Xerces site and noticed
patches to the build system to incorporate MinGW/MSYS builds. So,
yesterday, I downloaded a development source snapshot and tried it
under MinGW/MSYS.
This is by way of saying thanks to however is responsible - it seems
to work absolutely fine - thanks again :-)
Best regards,
Chris Bishop

Alberto,
Many thanks for the info - looks good though I haven't had time to try
it yet.

The downside of this patch is that it uses custom makefiles
throughout, rather than using automake/autoconf and friends. So, if
files get added and/or removed the patch needs work.
I think that an autoconf/automake version can be cobbled together
(though I haven't had the time to get it going). I got stuck on
trying to get runConfigure to run on MinGW.

There is a patch attached to bug#23176 that could allow you to use MinGW.
Check if it works for you

Tried sending this message some days ago but have seen no responses,
so assume no-one has any info on this topic.
However, will try sending again just in case.
If anyone knows anything about building Xerces under MinGW/MSYS I
would appreciate any info available.
Best regards,
Chris Bishop
