## Getting Started The source code and documentation are delivered in separate packages. Binary packages comprise the compiled libraries, the Xalan command line utility, and the C/C++ header files. The documentation package contains the pre-built documentation. The source package contains the sources to build everything.
The current Xalan-C/C++ Version 1.11 will work with the stable releases of Xerces-C/C++ Version 2.8.0 and Version 3.1.1 [http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c]. The previous Xalan-C/C++ Version 1.10 works with Xerces-C/C++ Version 2.7.0. If you are having problems using the product, send your comments to [mailto:xalan-c-users@xml.apache.org]. If you think a change needs to be made or have suggestions for future releases, send your comments to [mailto:xalan-...@xml.apache.org]. Binary releases for Xalan-C/C++ Version 1.11 are not yet available. We would like to distribute Xalan-C/C++ Version 1.11 binary releases using the same platforms specified for the compatible Xerces-C binary packages. ## Getting What You Need What you need depends whether you plan to build from the sources or download prebuilt packages. The development platform used to build the Xalan-C (XSLT) library should be the same as the platform used to build the Xerces-C (XML) parser library. Xalan-C (XSLT) library requires a working Xerces-C (XML) parser library. The supported versions of Xerces-C are 2.8 and 3.1.1. If you are ambitious and willing to experiment, you can download the bleeding edge development from the Apache Software Foundation subversion repositories. Use a subversion 'svn' utility for download. Xalan-C Repository [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xalan/c/trunk] Xerces-C Repository [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/c/trunk] The current stable Xerces-C (XML) packages [http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/download.cgi] are available for download. Note: The sources from the Xalan-C repository are current for Version 1.11 until released packages are available. You can help us prepare for a Version 1.11 release by providing packages for your platforms and let us know of your building issues. The previous version packages can still be downloaded until officially replaced. Xalan-C Version 1.10 [http://xml.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/xml/xalan-c/] Xerces-C Version 2.7 [http://xml.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/xml/xerces-c/]
