Hi! I'm new to this list While I was searching for info on compiling Xerces-C on Cygwin on the mailing list archives I found two mails (listed at the end) from people who have had the same problem.
Well, I've also been trying to do this. As the "detailed build" sections says: -I've "patched" the configure script to allow "-p cygwin", -changed XerdesDefs.hpp and AutoSense.hpp (defined environment var CYGWIN) -created a folder under Platforms with the name "Cygwin" and copied, with minor modifications, the LinuxDefs.hpp and LinuxPlatformUtils.cpp to CygwinDefs.hpp and CygwinPlatformUtils.hpp (and of course changed the makefile). -I also had to create an empty "libpthread.a" (that was the easiest solution I found) to link the library. but I still can't manage to compile all because of because of the Transcoder file under the Iconv folder! That's the only file I can't compile and of course it results in tons of unresolved externals at link stage. It needs "wctype.h" but this file is not part of cygwin. I know what it does but I don't understand why Cygwin doesn't have it. Where are the "Wide Char Type" functions declared?? Does anyone know? Is wctype.h a standard header? I went to the Cygnus mailing list but couldn't find an answer, only that Cygwin seems to have the functions declared in wctype.h implemented, so it must have it defined somewhere! I hope anyone can help me with this... Nacho.- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Anybody interested in porting Xerces-C on Cygwin with me. From: Nishant Sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2001-06-22 16:15:16 [Download message RAW] Hi Everybody, I am not able to get Xerces-C working on Cygwin. I had pthread problem with Cygwin. I got the solution to that. Then encountered transcoder problem, but managed to compile the .cpp files to have .o files. Here I had to use libmsvcrt.a to get _wcustr, etc.... functions. I also made the static library which is getting linked with Xerces-C samples also. But the executables result in code dump without even calling main() Please comment. Does any body [has / had] Xerces-C working on Cygwin? And does anybody has time and taste to port Xerces-C on Cygwin with me.

Not a real success, because configuration failed already on pthreads library which is in cygwin case built-in to the cygwin.dll and the implementation is not complete. Another question is whether cygwin can use the Win32 transcoding service or another one. Basically one must write all the system dependent code for cygwin from scratch and things in cygwin move quite quickly. I have done this with the Cygwin 1.1. DLL a moth ago. The things might get improved since the time. May be I give it another try if I find a bit of time and taste. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Saludos, nacho mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "Yo no soy paranoico.
