Xerces Link error with Visual Studio 2008

I'm trying to write a code using Xerces, the build worked fine, but when it comes to the link, it fails with the following error:

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Win32 / with xerces 3 (xerces-c_3.lib) / using Multi-threaded DLL (/MD) and i check that "treat wchar_t as built-in type" is set to yes.....

Have you an idea of where my error could be ?

This is a pretty old thread however I came across the same issue.

The solution is to make sure you include the Platform specific code:

#include <xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp>

At least for the current version of the library, xerces-c-3.1.4, this is where those static members are defined.

(not sure about transcode method, possibly in previous versions it was also included there?! In my situation I did not had issues with it)
