Is xerces-c portable to UnixWare with native CC?

[Kent Leonard <ke...@spectel.com>]

I'm trying to get xerces-c running on Unixware 7.1.1 with the native Unixware c++ compiler (not gcc). I'm using the 2.5.0 release

This wouldn't be my choice of O/S and compiler, but circumstances dictate the choice.

So far I've got autoconf and config to run. The build has had a few problems. For example, there are Compilers/SCOCCDefs.cpp/.hpp file, but they didn't define some necessary procedures (stricmp() and strnccmp()). And there's a Unixware/UnixWarePlatformUtils.cpp file, but it fails to scope "PanicReasons" with "PanicHandler::PanicReasons". 

So far these problems are fixable, but I'm trying to decide if this is a reasonable task, or a very large one. And I haven't gotten to linking or running the tests.

Has anyone done this port? Is there any experience I could piggy-back?

Thanks,

it works.

Good luck !
