I downloaded the source for Xalan v1.10 and I read the online build instructions for Windows. I don't see anything regarding newer versions of Visual C/C++; the IDE projects only go up thru v7.1, and I'm using v9.0 [Visual Studio 2008]. I also don't see anything regarding x64 build support on Windows in the project files, even though some of the make files appear to have a "BITS=32" or "BITS=64" option for parameters to pass to Microsoft's nmake.exe utility.
That's left over from the VS6 configurations to build Itanium binaries.


What are the correct build instructions to build Xalan v1.10 using Visual C/C++ v9.0 for both Win32 & Win64 [x64]?
Xalan-C 1.10 does not build as-is with Visual Studio 2008 in 64-bit mode. Your best bet is to get the trunk of the SVN repository, which builds cleanly and has project files for VS 2005 and 2009.

If you really must use Xalan-C 1.10, then search the archives of this list, and the Xalan-C user list for messages which will describe in gory detail the necessary steps to convert the project files, and the x64 configurations, and fix the source code issues.


Also, in a related question, I have a need to build Xalan v1.10 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for both 32-bit & 64-bit builds of the O.S. Are there updated build instructions available for this, too?
You don't need to do anything. By default, GCC will build 32-bit executables on a 32-bit version of LES, and 64-bit executables on a 64-bit version.


Additionally, it's not clear if I need to rebuild Xerces from scratch, or if I can use the binary distributions that are currently available for download when it comes to providing the headers & libraries required to build Xalan.
Unless you're using the exact same OS and compiler version as the Xerces-C binaries, I would recommend you build your own binaries.
