You'll have much better luck getting the head of the Subversion

I cross-compiled Xerces 2.8.0, checked out Xalan revision 759804, and
started the process with:
./runConfigure -p mingw-msys -c mingw32-gcc -x mingw32-g++ -r none -z
-mno-cygwin -C --host=i686-mingw32
However, the build stopped with the following message:
../../../bin/MsgCreator: ../../../bin/MsgCreator: cannot execute binary
file
Yes, there is no way currently to cross-compile Xalan-C, since the
MsgCreator binary needs to run on the host platform to generate the
message files. Xerces-C gets around this by pre-generating the message
files and checking them into the repository.
The command which built MsgCreator was:
mingw32-g++ -DMINGW -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition
-DXALAN_INMEM_MSG_LOADER \
-lm -L/tmp/xerces-c-src_2_8_0/lib -lxerces-c
../../../../obj/MsgFileOutputStream.o ../../../../obj/ICUResHandler.o
../../../../obj/InMemHandler.o ../../../../obj/MsgCreator.o
../../../../obj/NLSHandler.o ../../../../obj/SAX2Handler.o -o
../../../../bin/MsgCreator -L/tmp/xerces-c-src_2_8_0/lib -lxerces-c
It seems that MsgCreator is being cross compiled rather the being compiled
for the host system. Any hints as to how to proceed with the build?
Since the message files are just text, you can copy them from any other
platform. Take a look at the makefile for the exact set of files to
copy, or post back if you can't figure it out.
