This archive contains pre-configured CodeSynthesis XSD source code 
with all its dependencies (except Xerces-C++ and Boost) as well as
a build script that builds the XSD compiler in non-interactive mode
(that is, without asking any questions).

The following GNU tools are required to build XSD. Any fairly recent 
GNU/Linux distribution should have these already installed:

GNU bash >= 2.00   (bash --version)  http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/
GNU m4   >= 1.4    (m4 --version)    http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/
GNU make >= 3.81   (make --version)  http://www.gnu.org/software/make/
GNU g++  >= 3.4.3  (g++ --version)   http://gcc.gnu.org/

The build script expects you to have the Xerces-C++ (2.6.0 or later)
as well as Boost filesystem and regex (1.33.1 or later) libraries
built and installed in a location where the g++ compiler looks by
default (normally /usr/lib/ and /usr/local/lib/). Alternatively,
you can install them into the stage/ directory in this package
or provide include (-I) and library (-L) paths via the CPPFLAGS
and LDFLAGS variables, respectively.

The script supports the following standard variables:

CXX        (defaults to g++ if not set)
CPPFLAGS
CXXFLAGS
LDFALGS
LIBS
MAKEFLAGS

For example:

$ CXX=g++-4.2 CXXFLAGS=-O3 MAKEFLAGS=-j4 ./build.sh

If you would like to see the full compiler/linker/etc., command lines,
you can add verbose=1 to MAKEFLAGS, for example:

MAKEFLAGS="verbose=1" ./build.sh

After the build, the XSD compiler can be found in the stage/bin/
directory and the runtime headers in the stage/include/xsd/
directory. You can install the XSD compiler, runtime library, and
documentation with the install target, for example:

$ MAKEFLAGS="install_prefix=/usr" ./build.sh install

You can fine-tune the installation locations with the following
make variables (should be set in MAKEFLAGS):

install_prefix       default is /usr/local
install_data_prefix  default is install_prefix
install_exec_prefix  default is install_prefix

install_bin_dir      default is install_exec_prefix/bin
install_sbin_dir     default is install_exec_prefix/sbin
install_lib_dir      default is install_exec_prefix/lib

install_data_dir     default is install_data_prefix/share
install_inc_dir      default is install_data_prefix/include

install_doc_dir      default is install_data_dir/doc
install_man_dir      default is install_data_dir/man
install_info_dir     default is install_data_dir/info

The build script also supports the clean target:

$ ./build.sh clean
