[Expat-discuss] darwin and expat

[Joe Stacy]

I do want the rest of my app to be Unicode - apologies if I implied
otherwise.

Specifically, building in Darwin with these macros defined, I get an
error with xmlwf/unixfilemap.c due to conflicting definitions of
filemap(). Filemap.h selects the wchar_t signature while unixfilemap.c
uses char.

If xmlwf is not required, is there a proper way to remove it from the
build or should I just yank it from the makefile?

These are two different issues. XML_UNICODE and XML_UNICODE_WCHAR_T
merely
define which encoding Expat uses to report back to the application. It 
does not force
all of your application to be wchar_t based, although that would be a 
good idea.

Btw, regardless of how you build Expat, it always uses Unicode. Its just

the encoding
that can vary, that is:  UTF-8 or UTF-16.

So, what problem are you running into? xmlwf is not necessary for an 
application to use Expat.
Its just a helper program, you don't need to build it.
