-       application.  If you just want to quickly try out neon, use
 
-       the <a class="xref" href="refconfig.html" title="neon-config"><span class="refentrytitle">neon-config</span></a> script.</p><p>The neon source code is designed to be easily embedded
 
-       into an application source tree.  neon has no dependencies on
 
-       libraries other than an SSL toolkit and XML parser, though the
 
-       source tree can be configured to have no support for SSL or XML
 
-       if desired.  To configure the neon source code some <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/" target="_top">GNU autoconf</a>
 
-       macros are supplied, which can be used in a number of ways, as
 
-       follows:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>autoconf macros are distributed in the 'macros'
 
- 	  subdirectory of the neon distribution.  Use the NEON_LIBRARY
 
- 	  macro from your configure.in to check for the presence of
 
- 	  the neon library installed on the system.  The macro adds an
 
- 	  '--with-neon=...'  argument to configure, which allows the
 
- 	  user to specify a location for the library (the standard
 
- 	  /usr and /usr/local directories are checked automatically
 
- 	  without having to be specified).</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The 'src' directory of the neon package can be
 
- 	  imported directly into your application, if you do not wish
 
- 	  to add an external dependency.  If you wish to bundle, use
 
- 	  the NEON_BUNDLED macro to configure neon in your application:
 
- 	  here, the neon sources are bundled in a directory called
 
- 	  'libneon':</p><pre class="programlisting">NEON_BUNDLED(libneon, ...)</pre><p>If your application supports builds where srcdir != builddir,
 
- 	  you should use the NEON_VPATH_BUNDLED macro like this:</p><pre class="programlisting">NEON_VPATH_BUNDLED(${srcdir}/libneon, libneon, ...)</pre><p>If you use this macro, a '--with-included-neon' option
 
- 	  will be added to the generated configure script.  This
 
- 	  allows the user to force the bundled neon to be used in the
 
- 	  application, rather than any neon library found on the
 
- 	  system. If you allow neon to be configured this way, you
 
- 	  must also configure an XML parser. Use the NEON_XML_PARSER
 
- 	  macro to do this.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The final argument to the _BUNDLED macros is a
 
- 	  set of actions which are executed if the bundled build *is*
 
- 	  chosen (rather than an external neon which might have been
 
- 	  found on the user's system).  In here, use either the
 
- 	  NEON_LIBTOOL_BUILD or NEON_NORMAL_BUILD macro to set up the
 
- 	  neon Makefile appropriately: including adding the neon source
 
- 	  directory to the recursive make.</p></li></ul></div><p>A full fragment might be:</p><pre class="programlisting">NEON_BUNDLED(libneon, [
 
-   NEON_NORMAL_BUILD
 
-   NEON_XML_PARSER
 
-   SUBDIRS="libneon $SUBDIRS"
 
- ])</pre><p>This means the bundled neon source directory (called 'libneon')
 
- 	is used if no neon is found on the system, and the standard XML
 
- 	parser search is used.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="features.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="intro.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="example.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Feature list </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Example application</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
