- 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>
