Can anyone provide instructions on how to build Xerces 2.7 on windows using mingw? I've played with it for a couple of hours now, I've reviewed this mailing list's archives, googled, I even read the xerces.apache.org/build.html page but not luck. The closest I came to an answer was:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xerces-c-users&m=111902877201524&w=2 However the runConfigure script is a bash script and this is windows. I tried the win32 makefile in src/utils/Platforms/win32 but I get immediate errors: C:\dev\xerces-c-src_2_7_0\src\xercesc\util\Platforms\Win32>make ../../../Makefile.incl:860: warning: overriding commands for target `.c.o' ../../../Makefile.incl:857: warning: ignoring old commands for target `.c.o' make: Circular ALL <- ALL dependency dropped. mkdir -p /include/xercesc/util/Platforms/Win32 The syntax of the command is incorrect. make: *** [pubheaders] Error 1 I'm pretty sure I've got the build enviornment correct: C:\dev\xerces-c-src_2_7_0\src\xercesc\util\Platforms\Win32>make -v GNU Make 3.80 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm still trying to get my legs under me with this whole windows dev thing. This is all certainly a lot easier under Debian (apt-get install libxerces26-dev)
