hi, i didn't find the details from http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/install-3.html#Windows
guess someone might asked it before, but don't know where to search. basically i'm using VC 2005 (VC 8.0) to try the 1st example, got this, Error 2 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: static void __cdecl xercesc_3_0::XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate(void)" (__imp_?termin...@xmlplatformutils@xercesc_3_0@@SAXXZ) referenced in function __catch$_wmain$0 xml1.obj my install is in C:\opt\xercesc i have C:\opt\xercesc\bin in the path, i have the additional include/lib directories in the VC property page. C:\opt\xercesc\include C:\opt\xercesc\lib What else could be missing ? thanks ! _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469226/direct/01/
