<H2><A NAME="2_3">Creating Mini-XML Packages</A></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>
