6 | 1.What is the process to compile libxml ? |
---|
7 | |
---|
8 | As most UNIX libraries libxml follows the "standard": |
---|
9 | |
---|
10 | gunzip -c xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf - |
---|
11 | |
---|
12 | cd libxml-xxxx |
---|
13 | |
---|
14 | ./configure --help |
---|
15 | |
---|
16 | to see the options, then the compilation/installation proper |
---|
17 | |
---|
18 | ./configure [possible options] |
---|
19 | |
---|
20 | make |
---|
21 | |
---|
22 | make install |
---|
23 | |
---|
24 | At that point you may have to rerun ldconfig or similar utility to |
---|
25 | update your list of installed shared libs. |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | At this point you can check that the library is properly functionning |
---|
28 | by running |
---|
29 | |
---|
30 | make tests |
---|
31 | |
---|
32 | 2.What other libraries are needed to compile/install libxml ? |
---|
33 | |
---|
34 | Libxml does not requires any other library, the normal C ANSI API |
---|
35 | should be sufficient (please report any violation to this rule you |
---|
36 | may find). |
---|
37 | |
---|
38 | However if found at configuration time libxml will detect and use |
---|
39 | the following libs: |
---|
40 | |
---|
41 | libz: a highly portable and available widely compression library |
---|
42 | http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/ |
---|
43 | iconv: a powerful character encoding conversion library. It's |
---|
44 | included by default on recent glibc libraries, so it doesn't |
---|
45 | need to be installed specifically on linux. It seems it's |
---|
46 | now part of the official UNIX specification. Here is one |
---|
47 | implementation of the library which source can be found here. |
---|
48 | http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/packages-libiconv.html |
---|
49 | ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/ |
---|
50 | |
---|
51 | 3.libxml does not compile with HP-UX's optional ANSI-C compiler |
---|
52 | |
---|
53 | this is due to macro limitations. Try to add " -Wp,-H16800 -Ae" |
---|
54 | to the CFLAGS |
---|
55 | |
---|
56 | you can also install and use gcc instead or use a precompiled version |
---|
57 | of libxml, both available from the HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre |
---|
58 | |
---|
59 | 4.make tests fails on some platforms |
---|
60 | |
---|
61 | Sometime the regression tests results don't completely match the |
---|
62 | value produced by the parser, and the makefile uses diff to print |
---|
63 | the delta. On some platforms the diff return breaks the compilation |
---|
64 | process, if the diff is small this is probably not a serious problem |
