As far as I can see there isn't a way to generate build script files for different build tools. Since the software project I'm working on need to support at least gcc on linux and VS200X build files and we're currently using tinyxml I felt the need for a way to generate different build files in a convenient way. For our project we use a tool called premake which could generated build files for several build environments, see http://premake.sourceforge.net for usage and what build files it could generate.
I've taken the liberty of creating premake script files for the tinyxml project since we needed it and am glad to share them if there is an interest. I'm not sure in what way I should get them included into the repository if there is an interest in that. Anyway, let me know if there is an interest and I'll send the files or if some with cvs write access want to add it to the repository.

I'm not the guy who signs off/approves any addition, but my opinion would be to add your files not to the main distribution but as an optional download.
Just 2c worth

Yeah, it may be but I personally prefer premake since it's so small executable (which could easily be distributed) and also very easy to use syntax.
Anyway, whatever build file generating tool is decided to use with tinyxml, it would be a very good idea to include it along with the code so whatever IDE/platform tinyxml-users prefer it could be generated without downloading an additional archive/tool.
Thanks for a very nice xml parser though!

Is there no active developers present in this forum no more?
Personally, I like CMake; great tool.
