We would like a
working xerces-C++ for Windows XP 64, specifically AMD64. I am starting to try
to build the source for this platform using Visual Studio 8 (Visual Studio 2005
- the final version), and I have some questions.
1) I have seen one
or two other people asking about this in the email archives,
but before I go to far, I would like to know if anyone has
gotten a functional xerces for 64 bit Windows.
2) We would like to
build with VC8, but there is no VC8 project in the 2.7.0 release. Should we plan
on creating one?
3) I have most of
the subprojects now compiling and linking for me, without
changing any source, but I still see 3 compile errors and many
disturbing compiler warnings.
The
warnings:
The most bothersome
warnings seem to me to be those where "long" is assumed to be 64 bits; on this
platform, I believe that long is 32 bits even though pointers are 64. At least
according to Microsoft's documentation. An example warning is below, but
there are many more.

Is there a some way
to deal with these kind of warnings that I don't understand built into
xerces, or should we plan on changing the source? The
problem seems pretty systemic.
Here are the errors.
Are there known
solutions for these errors or should we plan on fixing the xerces
source?
