- Installing, and Packaging Mini-XML</h1>
- <p>This chapter describes how to build, install, and package
- Mini-XML on your system from the source archive. You will need an
- ANSI/ISO-C compatible compiler to build Mini-XML - GCC works, as
- do most vendors' C compilers. If you are building Mini-XML on
- Windows, we recommend using the Visual C++ environment with the
- supplied solution file. For other operating systems, you'll need a
- POSIX-compatible shell and <tt>make</tt> program in addition to
- the C compiler.</p>
- <h2>Compiling Mini-XML</h2>
- <p>Mini-XML comes with both an autoconf-based configure script
- and a Visual C++ solution that can be used to compile the library
- and associated tools.</p>
- <h3>Compiling with Visual C++</h3>
- <p>Open the <VAR>mxml.sln</VAR> solution in the <VAR>vcnet</VAR>
- folder. Choose the desired build configuration, "Debug" (the
- default) or "Release", and then choose <VAR>Build Solution</VAR>
- from the <VAR>Build</VAR> menu.</p>
- <h3>Compiling with Command-Line Tools</h3>
- <p>Type the following command to configure the Mini-XML source
- code for your system:</p>
- <pre>
- <kbd>./configure ENTER</kbd>
- </pre>
- <p>The default install prefix is <var>/usr/local</var>, which
- can be overridden using the <kbd>--prefix</kbd> option:</p>
- <pre>
- <kbd>./configure --prefix=/foo ENTER</kbd>
- </pre>
- <p>Other configure options can be found using the
- <kbd>--help</kbd> option:</p>
- <pre>
- <kbd>./configure --help ENTER</kbd>
- </pre>
- <p>Once you have configured the software, use the
- <tt>make(1)</tt> program to do the build and run the test
- program to verify that things are working, as follows:</p>
- <pre>
- <kbd>make ENTER</kbd>
- </pre>
- <h2>Installing Mini-XML</h2>
- <p>If you are using Visual C++, copy the <VAR>mxml.lib</VAR> and
- and <VAR>mxml.h</VAR> files to the Visual C++ <VAR>lib</VAR> and
- <VAR>include<VAR> directories, respectively.</p>
- <p>Otherwise, use the <tt>make</tt> command with the
- <kbd>install</kbd> target to install Mini-XML in the configured
- directories:</p>
- <pre>
- <kbd>make install ENTER</kbd>
- </pre>
- <h2>Creating Mini-XML Packages</h2>
- <p>Mini-XML includes two files that can be used to create binary
- packages. The first file is <var>mxml.spec</var> which is used
- by the <tt>rpmbuild(8)</tt> software to create Red Hat Package
- Manager ("RPM") packages which are commonly used on Linux. Since
- <tt>rpmbuild</tt> wants to compile the software on its own, you
- can provide it with the Mini-XML tar file to build the
- package:</p>
- <pre>
- <kbd>rpmbuild -ta mxml-<i>version</i>.tar.gz ENTER</kbd>
- </pre>
- <p>The second file is <var>mxml.list</var> which is used by the
- <tt>epm(1)</tt> program to create software packages in a variety
- of formats. The <tt>epm</tt> program is available from the
- following URL:</p>
- <pre>
- <a href="http://www.epmhome.org/">http://www.epmhome.org/</a>
- </pre>
- <p>Use the <tt>make</tt> command with the <kbd>epm</kbd> target
- to create portable and native packages for your system:</p>
- <pre>
- <kbd>make epm ENTER</kbd>
- </pre>
- <p>The packages are stored in a subdirectory named
- <var>dist</var> for your convenience. The portable packages
- utilize scripts and tar files to install the software on the
- target system. After extracting the package archive, use the
- <var>mxml.install</var> script to install the software.</p>
- <p>The native packages will be in the local OS's native format:
- RPM for Red Hat Linux, DPKG for Debian Linux, PKG for Solaris,
- and so forth. Use the corresponding commands to install the
- native packages.</p>
