You would still use a binary distribution for that. For example, if your
VxWorks cross-compiler is on Linux, then you will need a Linux XSD/e
binary. If it is on Windows, then you will use the Windows binary.

The binary distribution contains the source code for the runtime library
(libxsde) as well as the build system that supports cross-compilation.
For VxWorks, you will use GNU make (which is part of the VxWorks 
toolchain), just like on Linux. You can also find a number of sample
configuration files for VxWorks in the etc/vxworks/ directory of the
XSD/e distribution. You can use one of them as a base for your own 
configuration. There are also comments at the beginning of each
configuration file with more information (e.g., how to 'munch' the
examples or your application if you are using iostream, etc).

Let us know if you run into any problems.
