This archive contains pre-configured CodeSynthesis XSD source code with all its dependencies (except Xerces-C++ and Boost). It allows you to build the XSD compiler in non-interactive mode (that is, without answering any configuration questions). The following GNU tools are required to build XSD. Any fairly recent GNU/Linux distribution should have these already installed: GNU bash >= 2.00 (bash --version) http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/ GNU m4 >= 1.4 (m4 --version) http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/ GNU make >= 3.81 (make --version) http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ GNU g++ >= 3.4.3 (g++ --version) http://gcc.gnu.org/ The build system expects you to have the Xerces-C++ (2.6.0 or later) as well as Boost filesystem and regex (1.33.1 or later) libraries built and installed in a location where the C++ compiler looks by default (normally /usr/lib/ and /usr/local/lib/). Alternatively, you can provide include (-I) and library (-L) paths for this packages via the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables, respectively. The build system supports the following variables: CXX (defaults to g++ if not set) CPPFLAGS CXXFLAGS LDFALGS LIBS BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX For example: $ make CXX=g++-4.2 CXXFLAGS=-O3 -j 4 The BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX variable allows you to specify the optional Boost library suffix. For example, if your Boost library names are in the libboost_regex-gcc41-mt-d.so format, then you will need to set BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX to -gcc41-mt-d. If you would like to see the full compiler/linker/etc., command lines, you can add verbose=1 to the make command line: $ make verbose=1 After the build is complete, the XSD compiler can be found in the xsd/xsd/ directory and the runtime headers in the xsd/libxsd/ directory. You can install the XSD compiler, runtime library, and documentation with the install target, for example: $ make install_prefix=/usr install You can fine-tune the installation locations with the following make variables: install_prefix default is /usr/local install_data_prefix default is install_prefix install_exec_prefix default is install_prefix install_bin_dir default is install_exec_prefix/bin install_sbin_dir default is install_exec_prefix/sbin install_lib_dir default is install_exec_prefix/lib install_data_dir default is install_data_prefix/share install_inc_dir default is install_data_prefix/include install_doc_dir default is install_data_dir/doc install_man_dir default is install_data_dir/man install_info_dir default is install_data_dir/info You can also create a distribution package with the XSD compiler binary, source code for the runtime library and examples, as well as the documentation using the dist and dist-win targets, for example: $ make dist_prefix=./xsd-x.y.z dist Or, for Windows: $ make dist_prefix=./xsd-x.y.z dist-win The build system also supports the clean target: $ make clean Send bug reports or any other feedback to the xsd-users@codesynthesis.com mailing list.
