I have been trying to get the build to work but so far I have no luck. if I just follow the instructions at http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/build-winunix-2.html#MinGW I get the following error:
"Makefile.incl:1168: warning: overriding commands for target `.c.o' Makefile.incl:1165: warning: ignoring old commands for target `.c.o' makefile:71: *** target file `ALL' has both : and :: entries. Stop." if I comment out line 55 in the makefile.incl "#ALL: all" it builds up on till a certain point, with a lot of warnings in the form of: "../../Makefile.incl:1168: warning: overriding commands for target `.c.o' ../../Makefile.incl:1165: warning: ignoring old commands for target `.c.o'" looking at the makefile the makefile seems to expect to be case sensitive, but the two commands are identical anyway. Regardless it eventually fails with the errors I attached to my previous email. By running some of the commands by hand and adding the Win32 version of the file you suggested I eventually managed to get it to build, but any attempt I make to link against it fail. Also the makefiles seem to think that MinGW needs the Win32PlatformUtils.cpp, is this correct?
