[xsd-users] Re: Problem with XSD (linking with static xercesc library)

[Boris Kolpackov]

Hi,

In the future please send technical questions like these to the
xsd-users mailing list (which I've CC'ed) instead of to me directly.
This way other developers who may have experienced a similar problem
can provide you with a solution. Plus questions and answers will be
archived and available to others with similar problems.

For 2.8.0 you need to compile your application code (including the
generated code) with the XML_LIBRARY preprocessor define as instructed
in the documentation[1]. For 3.0.x this symbols is called 
XERCES_STATIC_LIBRARY[2]. The easiest way to achieve this is to add one
of these defines to the VC++ project settings.
