I think that setting the path to the xerces root within the path variable is incorrect. I built xalan 1.12 with a command like this. Notice the –D options for setting the location of Xerces binaries and include directory. It looks like your build is not finding xerces header files. I ran this command from within the xalan root directory.
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=xalan_c-1.12-install ` -Dsystem-encoding=ascii ` -Dtranscoder=default ` -DXercesC_LIBRARY=C:\Development\ TP-Libs\xerces-c-3.2.4-install\Release\lib ` -DXercesC_INCLUDE_DIR=C:\Development\ TP-Libs\xerces-c-3.2.4-install\Release\include ` -S xalan_c-1.12 ` -B xalan_c-1.12-build Try something like that and let us know if that works. Looks like that support for that version of visual studio is deprecated. That old compiler doesn’t have any support for C++ 11 so I’d be surprised if building Xalan 1.12 actually works with that compiler. I used VS2019 myself. Unfortunately the build instructions at Building Xalan-C++ | xalan-c (apache.github.io)<https://apache.github.io/xalan-c/build.html> are not very good. I wasn’t able to learn how to build it using that website. I had to fiddle with cmake settings on my own for quite a while before figuring it out. That website doesn’t even show a proper example of how to setup the location of the Xerces root.
