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.

|
|
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
