[xsd-users] how to compile utilizing a non-standard location of xerces

Hi,

Please don't post multiple copies of the same email. One is sufficient.

You don't need to modify any makefiles in order to specify the
alternative Xerces-C++ location. As described in the README file
in xsd+dep package, the build system recognizes a number of make
variables, including CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS. Those should be used
to specify the Xerces-C++ header (CPPFLAGS) and library location.

For example, if you installed Xerces-C++ into /opt/xerces (so
that headers are in /opt/xerces/include and libraries are in
/opt/xerces/lib), then the command line would look like this:

make CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/xerces/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/xerces/lib
