Hi,
I have been trying to build Xalan 1.10 with the MS Windows Platform
SDK 2003 compiler and CRT library. In fact I intend to build it for
X64 (AMD64) - but that seems a distant goal.
For now I am stuck at more basic issues:
1. I have built Xerces (2.7).
2. I want to build Xalan 1.10 and I am faced with the following:
- There are no .mak files for nmake to use in the Xalan-C++ 1.10
distribution.
We should probably implement a way to build executables using GNU make and
the existing makefiles. Unfortunately, MS has decided not to support NMAKE
and auto-generated makefiles any longer.
- I thought of generating nmake files using the Export Makefiles
option of the Visual C++ 6.0 IDE. But for that I need to open the .dsp
files in it first. I did that ... but somehow, the Export Makefile
operation did not seem to generate any output ... either on the screen
or on the disk.
Are you sure you installed VS correctly, and you checked every project in
the export dialog box? I just tried this with a clean Xalan-C++ 1.10
source tree, and it worked fine. What happens if you check the "Write
dependencies when writing makefiles" checkbox?
- Some of the parts like ApacheModuleXSLT seems to require basic
Apache development headers and libraries. I am not sure where to pick
them up from.
You can either get them from Apache, or just ignore that sample
applications. It has been removed in later versions anyway.
I want to know how else can I generate the makefiles for nmake to use,
or if they are readily available somewhere. Using VS2005 is not an
option.
I can't think of any way to do this. Even VS2005 cannot export makefiles,
so you'd have to build using the project files.
