-This package contains precompiled binaries of CodeSynthesis XSD, a
-W3C XML Schema to C++ Data Binding compiler, built for Microsoft
-Windows. For more information about XSD visit
-
-https://www.codesynthesis.com/products/xsd/
-
-This README file describes how to start using XSD in the Microsoft
-Windows environment with Visual Studio 2005 (8.0), Visual Studio 2008
-(9.0), and Visual Studio 2010 (10.0), Visual Studio 2012 (11.0), and
-Visual Studio 2013 (12.0).
-
-
-Prerequisites
--------------
-
-The XSD runtime library and the generated code depend on the Xerces-C++
-XML parser which you can obtain from http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/.
-You can also download precompiled Xerces-C++ libraries for Windows from:
-
-http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/download.cgi
-
-Note that the above download page may not contain Xerces-C++ libraries
-for the latest Visual Studio releases. The Windows Installer package
-(.msi) for XSD contains Xerces-C++ libraries for all of the above-
-mentioned Visual Studio versions.
-
-
-Environment
------------
-
-Before you can start building examples or your applications that use XSD
-you need to set include, library and executable search paths in the Visual
-Studio IDE and the System Environment.
-
-1. Setting up Xerces-C++
-
- First you need to set up Xerces-C++ include and library search paths.
- If you already have Xerces-C++ set up in your development environment,
- you can skip to the next step. Here we assume that your Xerces-C++ path
- is C:\projects\xerces-c-x.y.z. If you have Xerces-C++ in a different
- place, you will need to adjust the paths below accordingly.
-
-
- a) For Visual Studio 2005 (8.0) and Visual Studio 2008 (9.0):
-
- In the Visual Studio IDE, select "Tools"/"Options"/"Projects and
- Solution"/"VC++ Directories".
-
- Then, in the "Show directories for" field, select "Include files" and
- create a new entry with the value "C:\projects\xerces-c-x.y.z\include".
-
- After that, in the "Show directories for" field, select "Library files"
- and create a new entry with the value "C:\projects\xerces-c-x.y.z\lib".
-
- After that, in the "Show directories for" field, select "Executable files"
- and create a new entry with the value "C:\projects\xerces-c-x.y.z\bin".
-
- If you are building the 64-bit version of your application, repeat the
- above steps for the 64-bit version of Xerces-C++ while selecting x64
- in the "Platform" drop-down list in the VC++ Directories dialog (Visual
- Studio keeps a separate set of paths for each platform).
-
- For Visual Studio 2010-2013 (10.0-12.0):
-
- 1. Open an existing or create a new C++ project (you can open one of
- the example solutions that come with XSD).
-
- 2. Open the Property Manager view by selecting "View"->"Property
- Manager" (or "View"->"Other Windows"->"Property Manager") menu
- action.
-
- 3. Expand the property hierarchy for the project and find the
- Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user property sheet.
-
- 4. Right click on Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user and select the "Properties"
- menu action.
-
- 5. Select the VC++ Directories tab.
-
- 6. Add the "C:\projects\xerces-c-x.y.z\include" path to the "Include
- Directories" field (the paths are separated by a semicolon).
-
- 7. Add the "C:\projects\xerces-c-x.y.z\lib" path to the "Library
- Directories" field.
-
- 8. Add the "C:\projects\xerces-c-x.y.z\bin" path to the "Executable
- Directories" field.
-
- 9. Click Ok to close the dialog and then click the Save button at the
- top of the Property Manager view to save Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user.
-
- If you are building the 64-bit version of your application, repeat
- the above steps for the 64-bit version of Xerces-C++ but using the
- Microsoft.Cpp.x64.user property sheet (Visual Studio keeps a separate
- set of paths for each platform).
-
-
- b) In the Control Panel, choose "System" and select the "Advanced" tab.
- Click on the "Environment Variables" button. In the "System Variables"
- list, select "Path" and add (via "Edit" button) the
- ";C:\projects\xerces-c-x.y.z\bin" path at the end.
-
-
-2. Setting up XSD
-
- Now you need to set up XSD executable and include search paths. Here we
- assume that your XSD path is C:\projects\xsd-x.y.z. If you have XSD in
- a different place, you will need to adjust the paths below accordingly.
-
- For Visual Studio 2005 (8.0) and Visual Studio 2008 (9.0):
-
- In the Visual Studio IDE, select "Tools"/"Options"/"Projects and
- Solution"/"VC++ Directories".
-
- Then, in the "Show directories for" field, select "Include files" and
- create a new entry with the value "C:\projects\xsd-x.y.z\libxsd".
-
- After that, in the "Show directories for" field, select "Executable
- files" and create a new entry with the value "C:\projects\xsd-x.y.z\bin".
- Make sure it is the first line in the list of directories (use the
- "Up" button to move the new entry up, if necessary).
-
- If you are building the 64-bit version of your application, repeat the
- above steps using the same paths while selecting x64 in the "Platform"
- drop-down list in the VC++ Directories dialog (Visual Studio keeps a
- separate set of paths for each platform).
-
- For Visual Studio 2010 (10.0):
-
- 1. Open an existing or create a new C++ project (you can open one of
- the example solutions that come with XSD).
-
- 2. Open the Property Manager view by selecting "View"->"Property
- Manager" (or "View"->"Other Windows"->"Property Manager") menu
- action.
-
- 3. Expand the property hierarchy for the project and find the
- Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user property sheet.
-
- 4. Right click on Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user and select the "Properties"
- menu action.
-
- 5. Select the VC++ Directories tab.
-
- 6. Add the "C:\projects\xsd-x.y.z\libxsd" path to the "Include
- Directories" field (the paths are separated by a semicolon).
-
- 7. Add the "C:\projects\xsd-x.y.z\bin" path to the "Executable
- Directories" field and make sure it is the first path in the
- the list of directories.
-
- 8. Click Ok to close the dialog and then click the Save button at the
- top of the Property Manager view to save Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user.
-
- If you are building the 64-bit version of your application, repeat the
- above steps using the same paths but using the Microsoft.Cpp.x64.user
- property sheet (Visual Studio keeps a separate set of paths for each
- platform).
-
-
-3. Restart the Visual Studio IDE.
-
-
-Building Examples
------------------
-
-Now you are ready to build examples. Simply open the solution file
-found in the examples\cxx\tree (C++/Tree mapping examples) or
-examples\cxx\parser (C++/Parser examples) directories.
-
-Some of the examples depend on additional third-party libraries or
-show a specific feature of XSD and are not included in the solutions
-above. They come with their individual solution files:
-
-examples/cxx/tree/embedded - example of schema embedding
-examples/cxx/tree/custom - examples of type customization
-examples/cxx/tree/custom/calendar - depends on the Boost date_time library
-examples/cxx/tree/compression - depends on the zlib library
-examples/cxx/tree/binary/boost - depends on the Boost serialization library
-examples/cxx/tree/binary/cdr - depends on the ACE library
-examples/cxx/tree/binary/xdr - requires a third-party XDR library
-examples/cxx/tree/xpath - depends on the XQilla library (XPath 2)
