I want to use xerces c++, binary release 2_3_0, on W2k with VC++ 6.0.

The header files in the include directory all use include statements
of the form: #include <xercesc/util/XercesDefs.hpp>. The sample
projects have all these header files listed in the "External
Dependencies" directory of the project.

Clearly "<xercesc/..." is the xercesc directory in the distribution
file hierarchy but I am unable to understand how I define "xercesc" to
my vc++ project or how I get all the header files into the project
under the External Dependencies directory. Clearly I am missing some
fundamental idea here but I can't seem to find any documentation that
addresses this.

Can anyone direct me to where this is documented or explain how to get
off the ground? Thanks in advance.

I have forgotten the exact location of the menu item as I haven't used
Visual Studio 6 for over two years, but you need to set the environment
variables in an options dialog box. You need to supply a list of paths to
the xerces include and static library directories.

It is one of those silly M$ things that are not very well documented.

go to project/settings
then click the c/c++ tab
then drop down the 'category' box and select 'preprocessor'
then there's a text box for include directories
