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.
