Hi,

you should run the "runConfigure" script instead of 'configure'. All
runConfigure options are available as shown on Xerces-C web pages:

runConfigure: Helper script to run "configure" for one of the supported
platforms
Usage: runConfigure "options"
       where options may be any of the following:
       -p <platform> (accepts 'aix', 'linux', 'freebsd', 'solaris',
            'hp-10', 'hp-11', 'openserver', 'unixware', 'os400', 'irix',
            'ptx', 'tru64', 'macosx')
       -c <C compiler name> (e.g. gcc, cc, xlc_r, icc or ecc)
       -x <C++ compiler name> (e.g. g++, CC, xlC_r, icc or ecc)
       -d (specifies that you want to build debug version)
       -m <message loader> can be 'inmem', 'icu', 'MsgFile' or 'iconv'
       -n <net accessor> can be 'fileonly', 'libwww', 'socket' or 'native'
       -t <transcoder> can be 'icu', 'Iconv400', 'Iconv390', 'Uniconv390',
'IconvFBSD' or 'native'
       -r <thread option> can be 'pthread' or 'dce' (AIX, HP-11, and
Solaris) or 'sproc' (IRIX) or 'none'
       -b <bitsToBuild> (accepts '64', '32')
       -l <extra linker options>
       -z <extra compiler options>
       -P <install-prefix>
       -C <any one extra configure options>
       -h (get help on the above commands)

This was working for me on all platforms I used to build Xerces-C from
sources ( e.g. Cygwin/Windows, Linux, Solaris ) for final installation I
have used the provided Perl scripts in scripts directory even on
Windows/Win32 platform. They are fully automated inlcuding re-build from
sources + installation into the target area.

Hope this helps

            Cheers

                           Radovan
