Never mind, ignore me, I found it in the SVN repository :) -----Original Message----- From: Matt Holmes Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 10:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: How to eliminate .dll dependency on Windows?
Sorry to go back to this, but I am confused. Xerces-C 2.7? I thought the latest release was 2.6? I have scoured xml.apache.org, and I can't find any references to 2.7. If it is 2.6, I can't see anything in the VC7 project files that would allow me to build a static library? Perhaps it's the XercesLib project? Sorry, just trying to clarify this, as I need a static lib of Xerces as well :) -----Original Message----- From: Alberto Massari [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 2:45 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to eliminate .dll dependency on Windows? Hi Matt, if you download the latest code base (for version 2.7) you can use the solution file for Visual Studio .NET 2003 to build a static library. If you have to stick with version 2.5, you can search the archives for the instructions to build static libraries on Windows.
