<h1 align='right'><a name='INSTALL'>1 - Building, Installing,
|
|
and Packaging Mini-XML</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>This chapter describes how to build, install, and package
|
|
Mini-XML on your system.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Compiling Mini-XML</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Mini-XML comes with an autoconf-based configure script; just
|
|
type the following command to get things going:</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>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>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are using Mini-XML under Microsoft Windows with Visual
|
|
C++, use the included project files in the <var>vcnet</var>
|
|
subdirectory to build the library instead.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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.easysw.com/epm/'>http://www.easysw.com/epm/</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; this is especially useful when installing on
|
|
systems with different Linux distributions. Use the
|
|
<var>mxml.install</var> script to install the software and
|
|
<var>mxml.remove</var> script to remove 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>
