<s2 title="Building the Samples">
- <p>Please refer to the <jump href="build.html">Build Page</jump> for
- Build Instructions as per specific platform.</p>
+ <p>For general information related to building--including
+ platform-specific information--please refer to the
+ <jump href="build.html">Build Page</jump>. This
+ information covers a standard installation where one
+ has downloaded the entire Xerces-C binary distribution
+ to a place on the filesystem to which one has write
+ access. Below, we cover what to do if Xerces-C has been
+ preinstalled on a system into a directory to which one
+ does not have write access, but compiling the samples is
+ desired.</p>
+ <p>
+ In this situation, just do the following:
+ </p>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Copy the entire contents of the
+ <code>samples</code> directory into a directory named
+ samples that you have write-access to;</li>
+ <li>Set the <code>XERCESCOUT</code>environment
+ variable to point to the directory that is the parent
+ of the newly-created <code>samples</code>
+ directory;</li>
+ <li>Proceed as normal to compile the samples (not
+ forgetting to set <code>XERCESCROOT</code> to point
+ to the place on the file system where Xerces-C's
+ include files etc. are to be found);</li>
+ </ol>
+ <p>Once this is done, the compiled samples will be placed
+ in a directory named <code>bin</code>; this directory
+ will be located in the same directory as the
+ <code>samples</code> directory created in step 1
+ above.</p>
