Implementation of the Standard C++ library that comes with g++
(libstdc++) does not support wchar_t on mingw (and cygwin), see
this page for more information:

http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/wide%20characters


There are a couple of ways in which you can address this:

1. Use char instead of wchar_t. You can still handling Unicode
   by using UTF-8 as an encoding.

2. Use a different Standard C++ library. STLPort is known to
   work. The build of XSD compiler itself uses this approach
   as described in the build instructions for Windows:
