[Gdal-dev] Compiling Xerces with VS 2005

[Christian Wilmes]

Hi All,

I'm trying to compile the Xerces library with Visual Studio 2005. There seems to be a problem with wchar_t. I get errors like that one:
Error	20	error C2664: 'mbstowcs' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'XMLCh *' to 'wchar_t *'	c:\ms4wCompiling\Projects\gdal-1.3.2\xerces-c-src2_4_0\src\xercesc\util\Transcoders\Win32\Win32TransService.cpp	177	

I already try to do the following:
In the file xerces-c-src2_4_0\src\xercesc\util\compilers\vcppdefs.hpp in line 178:
old: typedef unsigned short  XMLCh;
new: typedef wchar_t XMLCh;

But seems to be not the right ist causes other errors, for example that one:
Error	9	error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'unsigned short' (or there is no acceptable conversion)	c:\ms4wCompiling\Projects\gdal-1.3.2\xerces-c-src2_4_0\src\xercesc\validators\schema\identity\XercesXPath.cpp	293	


Has anybody an idea what's to do?

Best Regards
Christian
