| Much of this documentation is historical in nature. The only
    officially supported platforms with committed testing and maintenance
    at this time are Windows (native, NOT Cygwin or other variants),
    Linux, and MacOS. All other builds are unsupported and untested
    and should be expected to require patching and build debugging.
    Patches are accepted for other platforms, as are maintainers
    interested in taking over responsibility for supporting them. The officially supported Windows platforms consist of only those
    Windows versions that are actively supported by Microsoft, which at
    time of writing excludes all releases prior to Server 2008 R2.
    The currently supported Windows compilers include Visual Studio 2015
    and later; this set is subject to change in the future. Support for C++ RTTI is an absolute requirement when building. |  |  |  | This section contains installation instructions for the Windows
         platform. |  |  |  | The Xerces-C++ source is available in the source distribution:
           xerces-c-3.2.3.zip. Install the Xerces-C++ source distribution by using unzipon the xerces-c-3.2.3.zip archive in the Windows environment. You can
		use WinZip, or any other UnZip utility: This creates the 'xerces-c-3.2.3' sub-directory
		containing the Xerces-C++ source distribution.  To build the Xerces-C++ source after installation,
        please follow the Build Instructions. |

         Linux, and Mac OS X platforms.

 |  |  |  | This section contains installation instructions for the Cygwin
         platform. 
 |  |  |  | Precompiled Xerces-C++ libraries for Cygwin may be provided as
           part of the Cygwin package repository. To install the binary
           distribution run Cygwin setup.exe.
           When you reach the Packages step of the Cygwin Setup wizard,
           expand the Devel category, then click in the New column next
           to "xerces-c-devel" until it reads "3.2.3-X". |
