[rcml-devel] Using and learning Xerces

[John B. <jx...@ga...>]

  To install Xerces under Windows, choose the distribution called
xerces-c1_3_0-win32.zip from
http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-c/stable/ .

  To install Xerces under UNIX, you will need to run on either a Linux
machine or a Solaris machine.  There are precompiled versions
available for both of these platforms at the URL listed above.  In
addition, I was able to compile Xerces from source for Solaris using
gcc.  I've got Xerces installed on gamma in /tmp/jdb and
/tmp/xerces-c1_3_0-SolCC .

  You will need to modify some environment variables and/or command
line switches to compile against the Xerces library.  I will be
finding out how to do this presently, I believe.

  There are two sample applications to be looking at that show us how
we will be using Xerces:  DOMPrint and CreateDOMDocument.

  Of course, you shouldn't be worried about any coding right now, only
picking and defining methods.
