I'll save you some time. Here is the version of Expat that I use. It is tested on OS X, Linux and Windows (VS and MinGW).
<http://www.bluequartz.net/cgi-bin/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=expat.git;a=snapshot;h=refs/heads/master;sf=tgz> Then if you go to <http://www.bluequartz.net/cgi-bin/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=MXADataModel.git;a=blob_plain;f=Resources/CMake/MXAFindExpat.cmake;hb=HEAD> that is the CMake module that will properly find the Expat library that you compiled since it uses some slightly different naming conventions from the norm. Also let me state that copying built binaries back into the Source directory may be a bad idea. What is the point of the copy? To create a distribution? Look forward to using CPack for creating your distributions instead of copying binaries back into the source tree and dirtying that up with built products. For a simple "Distribution" just keep setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the same path for all of your projects, such as /opt/Sandbox/MyProjectDistribution on a unix machine. Then you just have to simple package up the installation tree (as a hack) or write some CPack rules to pack up the whole thing for you. Either way, my expat variant is all under a BSD license (at least the parts that I wrote) so use what you want from it and let me know if you find things that could be improved upon.)
