Hi Nick, I too hit some major snags when porting Xerces to VxWorks 6.8.
The major issues I'm seeing is the incomplete and spotty implementation of Wind River's POSIX "Compliant" interfaces (quotes are intentional). I'm guessing that anyone who's tried the port has run into this and moved on to something else less troublesome. Not the fault of the Xerces development team, to be fair. It looks like with some effort that the holes can all be worked around, but I don't have sufficient time to hunt it all down and provide replacement functions for the stuff that's missing just now. I'll take a look at the Expat port from Wind River. However, based on my experience with WRS, I'd be willing to bet there's trimmed out functionality that I'd like to have for what I'm doing. Thanks for your information, Bill -----Original Message----- From: nelkherj [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 4:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Xerces port for VxWorks 6.x using POSIX Bill, I recently re-sent an email asking for help about xerces support for vxWorks 6.x. Beside Boris's response to me a few months ago about a similar situation using another OS, no one seems to have built xerces with vxWorks 6.x. I also found out from Windriver that they don't know of any user who is using xerces with vxWorks 6.x. I was able to build the xerces code but hit a snag when I tried to build the ICU library. That is why I decided to move to Expat which is offered as part of the webservices component from Windriver. If you or someone else on this board knows of someone who was able to build it, please have them share this information with us.

I need to migrate the build into the managed build interface of the WindRiver Workbench (which is essentially Eclipse with some custom plugins), rather than rely on the provided automake, so information about gcc 4.1 compiler flags and preprocessor defines would be very welcome. Also, if someone has done this and could provide information about their experience, I would appreciate it very much. Bill Howell Senior Software Engineer FLIR Systems, Inc.
