Ok, let's do this. You will need to check out the xerces-2 branch. This is a development branch for the 2-series code base: svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/c/branches/xerces-2 The documentation is in the xerces-2/doc/ directory in .xml files. To generate actual .html files from these you will need to use the generatedocs{.sh,.bat} script in xerces-2/. Note that it needs java runtime. The resulting html is placed in xerces-2/doc/html/. I suggest that you add a section to build-winunix.xml for Mingw. You will also need to add a link in build.xml. Some thought on what would be good to have covered: - Building using both cygwin (-mno-cygwin) and msys toolchains. - Note about compiling application code with -DXML_LIBRARY when linking to the static Xerces-C++ library. - Note about this bug: http://marc.info/?l=xerces-c-users&m=118891009725180&w=2 Once you are done, create a Jira issue and attach the patch to it. Make sure to grant the rights to ASF when uploading the patch (this way we will have a patch sign-off trail). After that I will review & commit it and regenerate the web site. > I would like to look over the 3.0 documentation before release and > see if there is anything unclear about it. Thanks, that would be great. We still haven't decided what to do with the docs for 3.0.0 and I am sure there will be a discussion on this matter here some time soon, so feel free to join in.
