Hi David,
I second Holger's list of compilers. These seem to be the standard compilers
of today. Of course one additional one would be:
- MS Visual Studio 2008
but this is obvious.
Also, excellent work on XalanC. I've been working with it for the past year
with no issues.
I'm also curious: XSLT 2.0 (is it the future?) So far I've been able to do
just about everything I need to (in XSLT 1.0), but with much more additional
XSLT code. I hate bloated code, but beggars can't be choosers.
Cheers,
Hans

Subject: Re: Announcement/Poll: Compiler and platform support for Xalan-C
Hi David,
I subscribe to reduce the number of compilers and platforms. We just
move our project on Windows from MSVC6 to MSVC8. Now we are using:
- MS Visual Studio 2005 (MSVC8) 32-bit and 64-bit(x64)
- Ubuntu Linux 7.04 with GCC 4.x and 3.x 32-bit and 64-bit.
- Solaris SPARC with GCC 3.x
- Intel Mac OS-X with gcc 4.x
Therefor we have no problem with cutting old OS and compilers.
If I can help you with testing new versions on Solaris SPARC and Intel
Mac OS-X, let me know.
Best regards and thanks for your excellent work,
Holger
P.S.: Are there any XSLT 2.0 movements at the horizon?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what compilers and platforms to support moving
forward. My motivation is to reduce the amount of time I spend
maintaining the various Microsoft project files and more obscure
platforms so I can spend more time on code and a re-write of the
Linux/Unix build system.
As part of this, I would like to remove support for the following
compilers/platforms:
MS Visual Studio.Net 2002 (MSVC 7)
HP-UX 10
Versions of GCC earlier than 3.x on all platforms.
In addition, the following platforms will be deprecated and disappear
withing 6-12 months:
Microsoft Visual Studio 6
MS Visual Studio.Net 2003 (MSVC 7.1)
Compaq Tru64
Irix
These platforms will remain in the build system and the source code, but
they are not guaranteed to work. They are not maintained, since I don't
have access to the necessary hardware and software to do so:
AIX
Solaris SPARC
Mac OSX
OS400
OS390
The following platforms/compilers are considered the core platforms and
are built on a regular to semi-regular basis:
XP/Vista with MS Visual Studio 2005 (MSVC8) 32-bit and 64-bit(x64)
XP/Vista with MS Visual Studio 2008 (MSVC9) 32-bit and 64-bit(x64)
Solaris x86 using GCC 32-bit and 64-bit
Solaris x86 using Sun Workshop 12 32-bit and 64-bit
HP-UX 11i PA-RISC with GCC 32-bit only
HP-UX 11i Itanium with GCC 32-bit only
HP-UX 11i PA-RISC with aCC 32-bit and 64-bit
HP-UX 11i Itanium with aCC 32-bit and 64-bit
Ubuntu Linux 7.04 and 8.04 with GCC 32-bit and 64-bit.
Cygwin 32-bit only
The following platforms should be OK, but are not regularly tested:
OpenBSD with GCC
NetBSD with GCC
FreeBSD with GCC
I would appreciate any feedback on this plan.
Thanks!
Dave
