<P>As mentioned earlier, Xerces-C++ may be built in stand-alone mode using
native encoding support and also using ICU where you get support over 180
different encodings. ICU stands for International Components for Unicode and is an
open source distribution from IBM. You can get
<A href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/">ICU libraries</A> from
<A href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/">IBM's developerWorks site</A>
or go to the ICU
<A href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/download/index.html">download page</A>
directly.</P>

<P>There are two options to build Xerces-C++ with ICU. One is to use the
MSDEV GUI environment, and the other is to invoke the compiler from the
command line.</P>
<P>Using, the GUI environment, requires one to edit the project files.
Here, we will describe only the second option. It involves using the
perl script '<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">packageBinaries.pl</FONT></CODE>'.</P>
<P><B>Prerequisites:</B></P>
<UL>
<LI>Perl 5.004 or higher</LI>
<LI>Cygwin tools or MKS Toolkit</LI>
<LI>zip.exe</LI>
</UL>
<P>Extract Xerces-C++ source files from the .zip archive using WinZip, say
in the root directory (an arbitrary drive x:). It should create a directory like
'<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">x:\xerces-c-src1_5_2</FONT></CODE>'.</P>
<P>Extract the ICU files, using WinZip, in root directory of the disk
where you have installed Xerces-C++, sources. After extraction, there
should be a new directory '<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">x:\icu</FONT></CODE>' which contains all the ICU
source files.</P>
<P>Start a command prompt to get a new shell window. Make sure you have
perl, cygwin tools (<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">uname</FONT></CODE>, <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">rm</FONT></CODE>,
<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">cp</FONT></CODE>, ...), and <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">zip.exe</FONT></CODE> somewhere in the
path. Next setup the environment for MSVC using
'<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">VCVARS32.BAT</FONT></CODE>' or a similar file. Then at the prompt
enter:</P>

<P>To build the COM project you will need to install the MS PlatformSDK.
Some of the header files we use don't come with Visual C++ 6.0. You may
download it from Microsoft's Website at <A href="http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/setuplauncher.htm">http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/setuplauncher.htm</A>
or directly FTP it from <A href="ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/PlatformSDK/April2000/Msi/WinNT/x86/InstMsi.exe">ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/PlatformSDK/April2000/Msi/WinNT/x86/InstMsi.exe</A>.</P>
<P>The installation is huge, but you don't need most of it. So you
may do a <B>custom install</B> by just selecting "Build Environment" and
choosing the required components. First select the top level Platform SDK.
Then click the down arrow and make all of the components unavailable. Next open the
"Build Environment" branch and select only the following items:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Win32 API</LI>
<LI>Component Services</LI>
<LI>Web Services - Internet Explorer</LI>
</UL>
<P><B>Important:</B> When the installation is complete you need to update VC6's
include path to include <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">..\platformsdk\include\atl30</FONT></CODE>. You do this by
choosing "Tools -> Options -> Directories". This path
should be placed <I>second</I> after the normal PlatformSDK include.

<P>All platform dependent code in Xerces has been
isolated to a couple of files, which should ease the porting
effort. Here are the basic steps that should be followed to
port Xerces.</P>
<OL>
<LI>The directory <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">src/util/Platforms</FONT></CODE> contains the
platform sensitive files while <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">src/util/Compilers</FONT></CODE> contains
all development environment sensitive files. Each operating
system has a file of its own and each development environment
has another one of its own too.
<BR>
As an example, the Win32 platform as a <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">Win32Defs.hpp</FONT></CODE> file
and the Visual C++ environment has a <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">VCPPDefs.hpp</FONT></CODE> file.
These files set up certain define tokens, typedefs,
constants, etc... that will drive the rest of the code to
do the right thing for that platform and development
environment. AIX/CSet have their own <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">AIXDefs.hpp</FONT></CODE> and
<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">CSetDefs.hpp</FONT></CODE> files, and so on. You should create new
versions of these files for your platform and environment
and follow the comments in them to set up your own.
Probably the comments in the Win32 and Visual C++ will be
the best to follow, since that is where the main
development is done.</LI>
<LI>Next, edit the file <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">XercesDefs.hpp</FONT></CODE>, which is where all
of the fundamental stuff comes into the system. You will
see conditional sections in there where the above
per-platform and per-environment headers are brought in.
Add the new ones for your platform under the appropriate
conditionals.</LI>
<LI>Now edit <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">AutoSense.hpp</FONT></CODE>. Here we set canonical Xerces
internal <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">#define</FONT></CODE> tokens which indicate the platform and
compiler. These definitions are based on known platform
and compiler defines.
<BR>
<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">AutoSense.hpp</FONT></CODE> is included in <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">XercesDefs.hpp</FONT></CODE> and the
canonical platform and compiler settings thus defined will
make the particular platform and compiler headers to be
the included at compilation.
<BR>
It might be a little tricky to decipher this file so be
careful. If you are using say another compiler on Win32,
probably it will use similar tokens so that the platform
will get picked up already using what is already there.</LI>
<LI>Once this is done, you will then need to implement a
version of the <I>platform utilities</I> for your platform.
Each operating system has a file which implements some
methods of the XMLPlatformUtils class, specific to that
operating system. These are not terribly complex, so it
should not be a lot of work. The Win32 verions is called
<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">Win32PlatformUtils.cpp</FONT></CODE>, the AIX version is
<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">AIXPlatformUtils.cpp</FONT></CODE> and so on. Create one for your
platform, with the correct name, and empty out all of the
implementation so that just the empty shells of the
methods are there (with dummy returns where needed to make
the compiler happy.) Once you've done that, you can start
to get it to build without any real implementation.</LI>
<LI>Once you have the system building, then start
implementing your own platform utilties methods. Follow
the comments in the Win32 version as to what they do, the
comments will be improved in subsequent versions, but they
should be fairly obvious now. Once you have these
implementations done, you should be able to start
debugging the system using the demo programs.</LI>
</OL>
<P>Other concerns are:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Does ICU compile on your platform? If not, then you'll need to
create a transcoder implementation that uses your local transcoding
services. The Iconv transcoder should work for you, though perhaps
with some modifications.</LI>
<LI>What message loader will you use? To get started, you can use the
"in memory" one, which is very simple and easy. Then, once you get
going, you may want to adapt the message catalog message loader, or
write one of your own that uses local services.</LI>
</UL>
<P>That is the work required in a nutshell!</P>

<LI>Excessive memory usage, especially in the DOM, on

<LI>utf-16 encoded XMLCh is not always compatible with
ucs-4 encoded wchar_t on Solaris and Linux. The
problem occurs with Unicode characters with values
greater than 64k; in ucs-4 the value is stored as
a single 32 bit quatity. With utf-16, the value
will be stored as a "surrogate pair" of two 16 bit
values. Even with XMLCh equated to wchar_t, xerces will
still create the utf-16 encoded surrogate pairs, which
are illegal in ucs-4 encoded wchar_t strings.
