This file describes how to build and use XSD/e with XCode and iPhone/iOS.

It is possible to build the XSD/e runtime library (libxsde) and examples
using GNU make and the native XSD/e build system. It is also possible to
create an XCode project and build the XSD/e runtime from the XCode IDE.
The latter approach allows you to make sure the XSD/e runtime and your
application are built with exactly the same compiler options and without
having to manually copy the options from the XCode project to the XSD/e
configuration file. The following two sections describe each approach
in more detail.


GNU make Build
--------------

A number of sample configuration files are provided for the GNU make-
based build. The config-device-*.make files are for the device and
config-simulator-*.make are for the simulator. You will need to copy
one of these files to the config/ directory and rename it to config.make.
If your XCode is installed in a location other than the default
(/Developer) then you will need to adjust the paths at the beginning
of the configuration file. You may also need to adjust the iOS SDK
version (e.g., 4.0 or 4.2 instead of 4.1) as well as the C and C++
compiler flags, notably the target architecture (-arch). Additionally,
you may also want to check other configuration parameters (e.g., the
use of iostream, STL, C++ exceptions, etc; they are all enabled by
default).


XCode Build
-----------

For this approach the config-xcode.make configuration file included in
this directory implements a split build procedure where the XSD/e build
system is used to generate the XSD/e configuration header
(libxsde/xsde/config.h) as well as the list of source files that need to
be compiled. Then the XCode project is created to compile the source files
and build the libxsde.a library.

The following step-by-step instructions show how to build the XSD/e runtime
library using this method as well as how to integrate XSD/e into your
application.

To build the XSD/e runtime library (libxsde.a), perform the following steps:

1.  Unpack the pre-compiled XSD/e package for Mac OS X. In the rest of the
    steps we will refer to the resulting XSD/e directory as xsde-x.y.z.

2.  Start a new terminal window and run the following commands:

    cd xsde-x.y.z
    cp etc/ios/config-xcode.make config/config.make

    Don't close the terminal.

3.  Edit config/config.make and adjust the XSD/e configuration to suit your
    requirements.

4.  In the terminal, execute:

    cd libxsde
    make

    If the make command is not found, try /Developer/usr/bin/make (or your
    alternative XCode installation directory).


5.  Start XCode and perform the following steps:

    5.1 Select "File"->"New Project"

    5.2 In the opened dialog select "iOS Library"->"Cocoa Touch Static
        Library". Click "Choose...".

    5.3 In the next dialog type libxsde in the "Save As" field and navigate
        to the xsde-x.y.z directory. Click "Save".

    5.4 Next you should see a warning dialog saying that the libxsde directory
        already exists. This is expected so click "Replace".

    5.5 In the project window in the "Groups & Files" list select "Other
        Sources" group, then select "Project"->"Add to Project...".

    5.6 In the opened dialog navigate to the xsde-x.y.z/libxsde directory and
        select the src directory. Click "Add".

    5.7 In the next dialog leave the default settings and click "Add". Now
        you should see multiple source files (.cxx and .c) listed in the
        "Other Sources" group.

    5.8 Next select "Project"->"Edit Project Settings", "Build" tab. In the
        "Configurations" drop-down list select "All Configurations".

    5.9 Scroll down to the "Search Paths" section and add . (dot) to the
        "Header Search Paths" field.

    5.10 Scroll down to the "GCC 4.2 - Language" section and add the
         -fvisibility=hidden flag to the "Other C Flags" field as well
         as the -fvisibility=hidden and -fvisibility-inlines-hidden flags
         to the "Other C++ Flags" field. If you set any extra C/C++ flags
         in your application's project, you may also want to add them here.

    5.11 Build the project for all the desired configurations (for example,
         Debug/Release, Device/Simulator, ARMv6/ARMv7, etc).

6.  In the terminal window create "fat" libraries by running the following
    commands (which may need to be adjusted depending on the configurations
    that you have built):

    cd build
    lipo -output libxsde.a -create Release-iphonesimulator/liblibxsde.a Release-iphoneos/liblibxsde.a
    lipo -output libxsde-d.a -create Debug-iphonesimulator/liblibxsde.a Debug-iphoneos/liblibxsde.a


If at some point you need to change the XSD/e configuration then it is best
to start from scratch (step 1 above) since the set of files that is added
to the XCode project may vary from configuration to configuration.

Once the runtime library is built, to integrate XSD/e into your application
perform the following steps:

1.  Compile your schemas to C++ with the XSD/e compiler (xsde-x.y.z/bin/xsde)
    and add the resulting generated C++ files to your project.

2.  To link your application to the XSD/e runtime library (libxsde), perform
    the following steps in your project:

    2.1 In the "Targets" group, double-click on your application to open the
        "Info" dialog.

    2.2 Select the "General" tab and click on the Plus (+) button to add the
        library.

    2.3 In the opened dialog click the "Add Other..." button and add either
        the libxsde.a or libxsde-d.a (debug) fat library created above.

3.  To add the XSD/e runtime headers to your application's search paths,
    perform the following steps in your project:

    3.1 Select "Project"->"Edit Project Settings", "Build" tab. In the
        "Configurations" drop-down list select "All Configurations".

    3.2 Scroll down to the "Search Paths" section and add the path to the
        xsde-x.y.z/libxsde directory to the "Header Search Paths" field.

    3.3 Build the application.
