I have no information about compiling with gcc on the mac platform. We use Xerces and Xalan compiled in a static library, but that is on the win32 platform.
I did an earlier post about compiling Xerces as a static library: - First change the project type from dll to static lib. - Remove the Win32MsgLoader from the project and add the InMemMsgLoader instead. - Change the project settings to define XML_USE_INMEM_MESSAGELOADER instead of USE_WIN32_MESSAGELOADER. - Change the defines for PLATFORM_EXPORT and PLATFORM_IMPORT by removing the _declspec(dllexport) and _declspec(dllimport) - Rebuild. For Xalan the procedure is somewhat similar. But as I said: This is for the win32 platform. You'll have to modify for your platform. But usually it is very simple to compile a library. Just run the compile phase on every source file in the project with the correct switches. Then run the linker against all created object files with the option set to create a library. All external references are resolved during the final link-phase of your application. Just make sure you build all objects with the same runtime libraries.
