<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>
