[xsd-users] build issue with VisualStudio 2005

[Aaron Bray ARA/SED]

I first off write a simple batch file to run xsd.exe on all my *.xsd
files (it would contain your call below)
This generates my cxx and hxx files
I then have a DLL project dedicated to building the XSD generated
classes and link to it with my other APIs.
To avoid calling this batch file each time the project gets asked to
build, I use ant
Ant has a nice feature of checking to see if any *xsd files have been
updated, run the batch, if no files have been updated since the last
build, xsd.exe is not run.
In my Schema DLL project
I create a 'Build Events'->Pre-Build Event
I add a command line: ant -s buildSchema.xml compilenative
This calls ant to call the ant buildSchema.xml with the compilenative
target

I have the following targets in my ant xml file

<target name="compileXSD">
		<uptodate property="xsd.current"
targetfile="./build/xsd_schema_built">
		      <srcfiles dir="./xsd" includes="*.xsd"/>
		</uptodate>
	</target>

And

<target name="compilenative" depends="compileXSD" unless="xsd.current">
      <delete dir="./cpp/xsd"/>
    	<exec executable="cmd.exe" dir="./cpp" failonerror="true">
    		<arg line="/c buildSchema.bat"/>
    	</exec>
	<touch file="./build/xsd_schema_built"/>
    </target>

Since compile native gets called from my vcproj ant will not run the
buildSchema.bat file unless an .xsd file is new than the touch file.

Does that help?

Hi!

I have a Visual Studio 2005 project with a rather large schema file in
it.  Compiling the schema into C++ is the slowest part of the build
process.  When I make a code change to my application code, and rebuild,
XSD is run against the schema file, even though the schema and its build
options haven't changed.  Is there some way to prevent that?

I am building using the xsd-cxx-tree.rules for vc-8.0.  My command line
looks like this:

xsd.exe cxx-tree --output-dir  . --hxx-suffix .hxx --cxx-suffix .cxx
--ixx-suffix .ixx --fwd-suffix -fwd.hxx --generate-serialization
--generate-polymorphic --generate-ostream --generate-doxygen
--generate-default-ctor --generate-from-base-ctor
--generate-intellisense --type-naming ucc --function-naming lcc
--root-element-all

All settings were done from the Code Generation tab for the schema file,
except for --root-element-all, which was set in the Additional Options
pane of the Command Line tab.
