- Expat, Release 2.2.2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-This is Expat, a C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark.
|
|
|
-Expat is a stream-oriented XML parser. This means that you register
|
|
|
-handlers with the parser before starting the parse. These handlers
|
|
|
-are called when the parser discovers the associated structures in the
|
|
|
-document being parsed. A start tag is an example of the kind of
|
|
|
-structures for which you may register handlers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Windows users should use the expat_win32bin package, which includes
|
|
|
-both precompiled libraries and executables, and source code for
|
|
|
-developers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Expat is free software. You may copy, distribute, and modify it under
|
|
|
-the terms of the License contained in the file COPYING distributed
|
|
|
-with this package. This license is the same as the MIT/X Consortium
|
|
|
-license.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Versions of Expat that have an odd minor version (the middle number in
|
|
|
-the release above), are development releases and should be considered
|
|
|
-as beta software. Releases with even minor version numbers are
|
|
|
-intended to be production grade software.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you are building Expat from a check-out from the CVS repository,
|
|
|
-you need to run a script that generates the configure script using the
|
|
|
-GNU autoconf and libtool tools. To do this, you need to have
|
|
|
-autoconf 2.58 or newer. Run the script like this:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ./buildconf.sh
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Once this has been done, follow the same instructions as for building
|
|
|
-from a source distribution.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To build Expat from a source distribution, you first run the
|
|
|
-configuration shell script in the top level distribution directory:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ./configure
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-There are many options which you may provide to configure (which you
|
|
|
-can discover by running configure with the --help option). But the
|
|
|
-one of most interest is the one that sets the installation directory.
|
|
|
-By default, the configure script will set things up to install
|
|
|
-libexpat into /usr/local/lib, expat.h into /usr/local/include, and
|
|
|
-xmlwf into /usr/local/bin. If, for example, you'd prefer to install
|
|
|
-into /home/me/mystuff/lib, /home/me/mystuff/include, and
|
|
|
-/home/me/mystuff/bin, you can tell configure about that with:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ./configure --prefix=/home/me/mystuff
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Another interesting option is to enable 64-bit integer support for
|
|
|
-line and column numbers and the over-all byte index:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ./configure CPPFLAGS=-DXML_LARGE_SIZE
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-However, such a modification would be a breaking change to the ABI
|
|
|
-and is therefore not recommended for general use - e.g. as part of
|
|
|
-a Linux distribution - but rather for builds with special requirements.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-After running the configure script, the "make" command will build
|
|
|
-things and "make install" will install things into their proper
|
|
|
-location. Have a look at the "Makefile" to learn about additional
|
|
|
-"make" options. Note that you need to have write permission into
|
|
|
-the directories into which things will be installed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you are interested in building Expat to provide document
|
|
|
-information in UTF-16 encoding rather than the default UTF-8, follow
|
|
|
-these instructions (after having run "make distclean"):
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1. For UTF-16 output as unsigned short (and version/error
|
|
|
- strings as char), run:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ./configure CPPFLAGS=-DXML_UNICODE
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- For UTF-16 output as wchar_t (incl. version/error strings),
|
|
|
- run:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fshort-wchar" \
|
|
|
- CPPFLAGS=-DXML_UNICODE_WCHAR_T
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 2. Edit the MakeFile, changing:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- LIBRARY = libexpat.la
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- to:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- LIBRARY = libexpatw.la
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- (Note the additional "w" in the library name.)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 3. Run "make buildlib" (which builds the library only).
|
|
|
- Or, to save step 2, run "make buildlib LIBRARY=libexpatw.la".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 4. Run "make installlib" (which installs the library only).
|
|
|
- Or, if step 2 was omitted, run "make installlib LIBRARY=libexpatw.la".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Using DESTDIR or INSTALL_ROOT is enabled, with INSTALL_ROOT being the default
|
|
|
-value for DESTDIR, and the rest of the make file using only DESTDIR.
|
|
|
-It works as follows:
|
|
|
- $ make install DESTDIR=/path/to/image
|
|
|
-overrides the in-makefile set DESTDIR, while both
|
|
|
- $ INSTALL_ROOT=/path/to/image make install
|
|
|
- $ make install INSTALL_ROOT=/path/to/image
|
|
|
-use DESTDIR=$(INSTALL_ROOT), even if DESTDIR eventually is defined in the
|
|
|
-environment, because variable-setting priority is
|
|
|
-1) commandline
|
|
|
-2) in-makefile
|
|
|
-3) environment
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Note: This only applies to the Expat library itself, building UTF-16 versions
|
|
|
-of xmlwf and the tests is currently not supported.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Note for Solaris users: The "ar" command is usually located in
|
|
|
-"/usr/ccs/bin", which is not in the default PATH. You will need to
|
|
|
-add this to your path for the "make" command, and probably also switch
|
|
|
-to GNU make (the "make" found in /usr/ccs/bin does not seem to work
|
|
|
-properly -- apparently it does not understand .PHONY directives). If
|
|
|
-you're using ksh or bash, use this command to build:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:$PATH make
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-When using Expat with a project using autoconf for configuration, you
|
|
|
-can use the probing macro in conftools/expat.m4 to determine how to
|
|
|
-include Expat. See the comments at the top of that file for more
|
|
|
-information.
|

|
|
-A reference manual is available in the file doc/reference.html in this
|
|
|
-distribution.
