Hi Terry,

In the future please send technical questions like this about XSD/e
to the xsde-users mailing list (which I've CC'ed to my reply). Also

If you are planning to target VxWorks 5.x but want to develop on
Windows using one of the VC++ compilers, then the most sensible
thing to do is to start with VC++ configuration file and then
disable all the features that are not available on your target
by looking at the VxWorks config file. In your case this would
translate to:

1. Take the standard config/config.nmake

2. Look through etc/vxworks/config-5.5.1.make and disable every
   feature in the above config.nmake file that is not enabled
   in config-5.5.1.make. This will include things like STL,
   exceptions, iostream, etc.

The resulting configuration will be very minimal which means
you won't be able to build most of the examples (they require
C++ features that are not available in your configuration).
But the 'minimal' example should build and it shows all the
major XSD/e operations (parsing, serialization, object model
access and modification, error handling, etc) that should be
sufficient to get you started.
