-Compilation
-
- 1.What is the process to compile libxml ?
-
- As most UNIX libraries libxml follows the "standard":
-
- gunzip -c xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -
-
- cd libxml-xxxx
-
- ./configure --help
-
- to see the options, then the compilation/installation proper
-
- ./configure [possible options]
-
- make
-
- make install
-
- At that point you may have to rerun ldconfig or similar utility to
- update your list of installed shared libs.
-
- At this point you can check that the library is properly functionning
- by running
-
- make tests
-
- 2.What other libraries are needed to compile/install libxml ?
-
- Libxml does not requires any other library, the normal C ANSI API
- should be sufficient (please report any violation to this rule you
- may find).
-
- However if found at configuration time libxml will detect and use
- the following libs:
-
- libz: a highly portable and available widely compression library
- http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/
- iconv: a powerful character encoding conversion library. It's
- included by default on recent glibc libraries, so it doesn't
- need to be installed specifically on linux. It seems it's
- now part of the official UNIX specification. Here is one
- implementation of the library which source can be found here.
- http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/packages-libiconv.html
- ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/
-
- 3.make tests may fail on some platforms
-
- Sometime the regression tests results don't completely match the
- value produced by the parser, and the makefile uses diff to print
- the delta. On some platforms the diff return breaks the compilation
- process, if the diff is small this is probably not a serious problem
