<s1 title="Installation">
<p>Much of this documentation is historical in nature. The only
officially supported platforms with committed testing and maintenance
at this time are Windows (native, NOT Cygwin or other variants),
Linux, and MacOS. All other builds are unsupported and untested
and should be expected to require patching and build debugging.
Patches are accepted for other platforms, as are maintainers
interested in taking over responsibility for supporting them.</p>
<p>The officially supported Windows platforms consist of only those
Windows versions that are actively supported by Microsoft, which at
time of writing excludes all releases prior to Server 2008 R2.
The currently supported Windows compilers include Visual Studio 2015
and later; this set is subject to change in the future.</p>
<p>Support for C++ RTTI is an absolute requirement when building.</p>
<anchor name="Windows"/>
<s2 title="Windows">
<p>This section contains installation instructions for the Windows
platform.</p>
<s3 title="Source distribution">
<p>The &XercesCName; source is available in the source distribution:
&XercesC3SrcInstallDir;.zip.</p>
<p>Install the &XercesCName; source distribution by using <code>unzip</code>
on the &XercesC3SrcInstallDir;.zip archive in the Windows environment. You can
use WinZip, or any other UnZip utility:</p>
<source>
unzip &XercesC3SrcInstallDir;.zip
</source>
<p>This creates the &apos;&XercesC3SrcInstallDir;&apos; sub-directory
containing the &XercesCName; source distribution. </p>
<p>To build the &XercesCName; source after installation,
please follow the <jump href="build-&XercesC3Series;.html">Build Instructions</jump>.</p>
</s3>
<!--
<s3 title="Binary distribution">
<p>Install the &XercesCName; binary distribution by using <code>unzip</code>
on the &XercesC3InstallDir;-{arch}-windows-{compiler}.zip archive in
the Windows environment. Here {arch} denotes the CPU architecture
and {compiler} denotes the C++ compiler of your choice. You can use
WinZip, or any other UnZip utility. For example:</p>
<source>
unzip &XercesC3InstallDir;-x86-windows-vc-8.0.zip
</source>
<p>This creates a &apos;&XercesC3InstallDir;-x86-windows-vc-8.0&apos;
sub-directory containing the &XercesCName; binary distribution.</p>
<p>You need to add the &apos;&XercesC3InstallDir;-{arch}-windows-{compiler}\bin&apos;
directory to your path.
To do this go to the start menu, click the settings menu and
select control panel. When the control panel opens, double
click on System and select the &apos;Environment&apos; tab.
Locate the PATH variable under system variables and add
&lt;full-path-to-&XercesC3InstallDir;-{arch}-windows-{compiler}>\bin
to the PATH variable.</p>
<p>Additionally, if you don't have the corresponding version of
Microsoft Visual C++ installed, you may need to download and
install the C/C++ runtime libraries from the Microsoft website.
For example, for Visual Studio 2008 (9.0) the package is called
"Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package".</p>
<p>The binary distribution contains the pre-built parser libraries
and sample executables. Please refer to the
<jump href="samples-&XercesC3Series;.html">Samples</jump> for how to run the
samples.</p>

<s2 title="UNIX">
<p>This section contains installation instructions for the UNIX,
Linux, and Mac OS X platforms.</p>
<s3 title="Source distribution">
<p>The &XercesCName; source is available in the source distribution:
&XercesC3SrcInstallDir;.tar.gz (other formats also available).</p>
<p>Install the &XercesCName; source distribution
&XercesC3SrcInstallDir;.tar.gz by extracting the files
from the compressed archive:</p>
<source>
gzip -d &XercesC3SrcInstallDir;.tar.gz
tar -xf &XercesC3SrcInstallDir;.tar
</source>
<p>This creates the &apos;&XercesC3SrcInstallDir;&apos; sub-directory
containing the &XercesCName; source distribution. </p>
<p>To build the &XercesCName; source after installation,
please follow the <jump href="build-&XercesC3Series;.html">Build Instructions</jump>.</p>

<s3 title="Binary distribution">
<p>Install the binary distribution &XercesC3InstallDir;-{arch}-{os}-{compiler}.tar.gz
by extracting the files from the compressed archive. Here {arch}
denotes the CPU architecture, {os} denotes the operating system,
and {compiler} denotes the C++ compiler of your choice.
For example:</p>
<source>
gzip -d &XercesC3InstallDir;-x86-linux-gcc-3.4.tar.gz
tar -xf &XercesC3InstallDir;-x86-linux-gcc-3.4.tar
</source>
<p>This will create an '&XercesC3InstallDir;-x86-linux-gcc-3.4'
sub-directory containing the &XercesCName; binary distribution.</p>
<p>You will need to add the
&XercesC3InstallDir;-{arch}-{os}-{compiler}/bin directory to your
PATH environment variable:</p>
<p>For Bourne Shell, K Shell or Bash, type: </p>
<source>
export PATH="$PATH:&lt;full-path-to-&XercesC3InstallDir;-{arch}-{os}-{compiler}>/bin"
</source>
<p>For C Shell, type:</p>
<source>
setenv PATH "$PATH:&lt;full-path-to-&XercesC3InstallDir;-{arch}-{os}-{compiler}>/bin"
</source>
<p>If you wish to make this setting permanent, you need to change
your profile by changing your setup files which can be either
.profile or .kshrc.</p>
<p>In addition, you will also need to set the library search path.
(LIBPATH on AIX, LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Solaris and Linux,
SHLIB_PATH on HP-UX, and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on Mac OS X).</p>
<p>In the following shell commands, the &lt;xerces-path>
denotes the full path to the
&XercesC3InstallDir;-{arch}-{os}-{compiler} directory. For
Bourne Shell, K Shell or Bash, type:</p>
<source>
export LIBPATH=&lt;xerces-path>/lib:$LIBPATH (AIX)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=&lt;xerces-path>/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Solaris, Linux)
export SHLIB_PATH=&lt;xerces-path>/lib:$SHLIB_PATH (HP-UX)
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=&lt;xerces-path>/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (Mac OS X)
</source>
<p>For C Shell, type:</p>
<source>
setenv LIBPATH "&lt;xerces-path>/lib:$LIBPATH" (AIX)
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "&lt;xerces-path>/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" (Solaris, Linux)
setenv SHLIB_PATH "&lt;xerces-path>/lib:$SHLIB_PATH" (HP-UX)
setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH "&lt;xerces-path>/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" (Mac OS X)
