In reply to my own question:
I figured out how to create valid Xerces-C DLLs on MinGW.
In case anyone needs this information for a later build:
I am keeping my source code in /src, where I also download
the tgz file from the Xerces project page:
***
export XERCESCROOT=/src/xerces-c-src_2_8_0
cd /src
tar -xzf xerces-c-src_2_8_0.tar.gz
cd xerces-c-src_2_8_0/src/xercesc
./runConfigure -p mingw-msys -c gcc -x g++ -n fileonly -r none -z
-mno-cygwin -C --host=i686-mingw32
Before we can run make, we need to fix some of the Makefiles a little bit
(we need to add an extra colon in some places).
In file C:\msys\1.0\src\xerces-c-src_2_8_0\src\xercesc\Makefile.incl, near
the top, change
ALL: all
to
ALL:: all
In file
C:\msys\1.0\src\xerces-c-src_2_8_0\src\xercesc\util\Makefile.util.submodule,
near the top, change
all: includes $(CPP_OBJECTS)
to
all:: includes $(CPP_OBJECTS)
In file C:\msys\1.0\src\xerces-c-src_2_8_0\obj\Makefile you will find the
following definition at line 104:
all: ${FQ_REAL_NAME} ${FQ_REAL_DEPDOM}
Change it to read:
all:: ${FQ_REAL_NAME} ${FQ_REAL_DEPDOM}
Now the source code can be compiled (There will be many warnings. You can
safely ignore them):
make
make install
This will create the Windows DLLs and copy them and all header files into
/usr/local.
***
This was done using MinGW 5.1.3, MSYS 1.0.11 (latest) and
GNU Make 3.81.
Maybe this will be useful for someone else in the future.
Best,
Benjamin
