Hi,

[I've CC'ed xsd-users back in; someone might be interested in this info.]

We use mingw port of g++. Unfortunately, the stock libstdc++ (Standard
C++ Library, part of g++) that comes with the cygwin/mingw environment
is compiled without support for wchar_t. You can read more about this
here:

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

So we are using a custom-built linux-to-mingw g++ cross- compiler to
build xsd for windows. There is another option (as suggested in the
page above) - use STLPort instead of g++ libstdc++. I am going to
investigate this and also prepare a guide on how to build xsd in the
cygwin environment. Just give me a couple of days.
