I have been trying to implement the runtime library which is a header-only library of CodeSynthesis. But I only get a linking compiling error whenever I try to run the generated files which are made by the XSD executable.
Here is the error to show you that I have a linking problem with the runtime library:

I have followed the guide given by CodeSynthesis to generate my hello.cxx & hello.hxx files with the command: xsd cxx-tree --std c++11 hello.xsd

Thanks to 'Asteroids With Wings' I figured out that a header-only library should not be added as a library in CMake. Including the library and linking the XercesC library was enough.
