[Bhore]

Hello,

I am novice user, trying to parse XML file using xerces c++ on window’s visual studio 2013. I did the following steps:
1.download and unzip the xerces 3.1.4 file
2.trying to do sample program of it by setting environment Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies: xerces-c_3D.lib (as in the samples projects)--.( lib not found error)
3. project properties-> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories.(path upto xcerces like for my program D:\xecerces_download\xerces-c-3.1.4\src\xercesc)
4. now want to do property-> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories:> <full-path-to-xerces>\lib-- but unable to find exact lib file

If I miss something, please let me know. This environment setting giving lots of error like
1.Cannot open include file: 'xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp': No such file or directory
2. IntelliSense: cannot open source file "xercesc/util/XercesDefs.hpp"
3. IntelliSense: cannot open source file "xercesc/util/XMLException.hpp"

And many more..plz help me out

Thanks

In what folder did you unzip this library?
If you cannot recall it - just search for something like "xcerces"! Or unzip it in some other known folder.

I unzip it by name "xerces 3.1.4" in my system's D drive. and even gave path upto src folder as a library..am I doing correct steps?

I would suggest you first search for XercesDefs.hpp and xerces-c_3D.lib. This will determine the full path to the files. What do the include statements look like in your code?

insted of searching XercesDefs.hpp file in VS2015 I add that file by this methode
right click-->Add-->existing item--> XercesDefs.hpp
still error is there,I tried this method for many other error also but none of use..

2.unable to find xerces-c_3D.lib file in xerces folder but by reading one similar FAQ on google I add it

Until you know the full path location of the files, you won't be able to provide the right info for include additional include/library folders. That's why I suggested you first find the full folder path to these files.

Search using Explorer or from the cmd line.

OK. I've downloaded and installed xerces to have a look. On my system, the .hpp files are in the folder

c:\develop\xerces\xerces-c-3.1.4\src\xercesc\util

as the compiler is trying to find xercesc\util\PlatformUtils.hpp, the I would set the additional Include Directory to

c:\develop\xerces\xerces-c-3.1.4\src\

Also note that the .lib file doesn't come as standard as part of the download .zip, it has to be built. See https://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/build-3.html#Windows
