Load the xml4c-3_5_1-win32\samples\Projects\Win32\VC6\samples.dsw Microsoft Visual C++ workspace inside your MSVC IDE. Then build the project marked IDOMCount.

	cd xml4c-3_5_1-linux/samples ./runConfigure -p<platform> -c<C_compiler> -x<C++_compiler> cd IDOMCount gmake

This will create the object files in the current directory and the executable named IDOMCount in ' xml4c-3_5_1-linux/bin' directory.

To delete all the generated object files and executables, type

	gmake clean

The IDOMCount sample parses an XML file and prints out a count of the number of elements in the file. To run IDOMCount, enter the following

	IDOMCount <XML file>

The following parameters may be set from the command line

	Usage: IDOMCount [-v -n] {XML file} This program invokes the XML4C IDOM parser, builds the DOM tree, and then prints the number of elements found in the input XML file. Options: -v=xxx Validation scheme [always | never | auto*] -n Enable namespace processing. Defaults to off. * = Default if not provided explicitly

-v=always will force validation
-v=never will not use any validation
-v=auto will validate if a DOCTYPE declaration is present in the XML document

Here is a sample output from IDOMCount

	cd xml4c-3_5_1-linux/samples/data IDOMCount -v=always personal.xml personal.xml: 20 ms (37 elems)

The output of both versions should be same.

The time reported by the system may be different, depending on your processor type.
