This file contains instructions for building the XSD/e runtime
library (libxsde) and examples. The XSD/e compiler itself was
pre-built for your host development platform and can be found
in the bin/ directory. The runtime library and examples can be
built using either GNU make (normally on UNIX operating systems)
or Microsoft nmake (on Windows). The following sections describe
each of the two methods.


GNU make
--------

This section provides general instructions for building the XSD/e
runtime and examples with GNU make. For additional information on
building with XCode 3.1 iPhone SDK see the corresponding notes at
the end of this document.

The first step in building the source code with GNU make is to
configure the runtime library by editing the config/config.make
file. There you can specify which toolchain should be used to
compile the source code as well as which optional feature (such
as STL, C++ exceptions, etc.) should be used. Follow the
instructions in the comments in config/config.make and make the
appropriate changes. The etc/ directory contains a number of
sample configurations for various targets/toolchains.

To start the compilation process simply execute make (or gmake)
in the root directory. This will build the libxsde.a runtime
library as well as the examples. If you do not want to build
the examples, you can start the compilation process from the
libxsde/ directory. Note that if you change any configuration
parameters in the config/config.make file, then you need to
completely clean the distribution before recompiling. For that
run 'make clean' from the root directory.

In order to start using XSD/e in your applications, you will
need add the libxsde/ directory to your include search paths
(-I) and link your executables with the libxsde/xsde/libxsde.a
library.


Microsoft nmake
---------------

This section provides general instructions for building the XSD/e
runtime and examples with nmake. For additional information on
eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0, Visual Studio 2005 with Smart Devices,
and Visual Studio 2008 with Smart Devices support see the
corresponding notes at the end of this document.

The first step in building the source code with nmake is to
configure the runtime library by editing the config\config.nmake
file. There you can specify which toolchain should be used to
compile the source code as well as which optional feature (such
as STL, C++ exceptions, etc.) should be used. Follow the
instructions in the comments in config\config.nmake and make the
appropriate changes. The etc/ directory contains a number of
sample configurations for various targets/toolchains.

If you are using an IDE (e.g., Visual Studio or eMbedded Visual
C++) to develop your applications, you can copy the compiler
options (such as CPU and Platform preprocessor macros, etc.)
from your project's C++ compiler settings.

The next step is to start a new command prompt and execute
the vcvars32.bat (or equivalent) file that is normally found
in your development environment's installation directory.
After executing vcvars32.bat, you can start the compilation
process by executing

nmake /f nmakefile

from the XSD/e root directory. This will build the xsde.lib
runtime library as well as the examples. If you do not want to
build the examples, you can start the compilation process from
the libxsde\ directory. Note that if you change any configuration
parameters in the config\config.nmake file, then you need to
completely clean the distribution before recompiling. For that
run 'nmake /f nmakefile clean' from the root directory.

In order to start using XSD/e in your applications, you will
need add the libxsde\ directory to your include search paths
and link your executables with the libxsde\xsde\xsde.lib
library.


Notes on XCode 3.1.x iPhone SDK
-------------------------------

You can find two sample configuration files for this development
environment in the etc/iphone/ directory. The first configuration
file is for the device and the other is for the simulator. You will
need to copy one of these files to the config/ directory and rename
it to config.make. If your iPhone SDK is installed in a location
other than the default (/Developer) then you will need to adjust
the paths at the beginning of the configuration file. You may also
need to adjust the iPhone SDK version (e.g., 2.1 or 2.2 instead of
2.0) as well as the C and C++ compiler executable names if you are
using newer versions of XCode. Additionally, you may also want to
check other configuration parameters (e.g., the use of iostream,
STL, C++ exceptions, etc; they are all enabled by default).


Notes on eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
--------------------------------

You can find a sample configuration file for this development
environment in the etc\evc-4.0\ directory.

Instead of one vcvars32.bat file, eMbedded Visual C++ has a set
of such files each for a particular platform and CPU. They can be
found in the EVC\WCEnnn\BIN\ subdirectory in the eMbedded Visual
C++ installation directory. For example, a file for Windows CE
4.0 for ARMv4 CPU is EVC\WCE400\BIN\WCEARMV4.bat. You may want
to review the installation paths in this file to make sure they
reflect your setup. You can also study this file to find out the
name of the C/C++ compiler for this CPU. In case of ARM, it is
clarm.exe.


Notes on Visual Studio 2005 with Smart Devices support
------------------------------------------------------

You can find sample configuration files for this development
environment in the etc\vc-8.0\ directory.

This version of Visual Studio does not provide vcvars32.bat or
equivalent for Smart Devices development. Instead you can use
the vcvarssd.bat file provided in the etc\vc-8.0\ directory.
Modify it according to your setup as instructed by the comments
found in this file.


Notes on Visual Studio 2008 with Smart Devices support
------------------------------------------------------

You can find sample configuration files for this development
environment in the etc\vc-9.0\ directory.

This version of Visual Studio does not provide vcvars32.bat or
equivalent for Smart Devices development. Instead you can use
the vcvarssd.bat file provided in the etc\vc-9.0\ directory.
Modify it according to your setup as instructed by the comments
found in this file.
