Introduction to LibXML2
LibXML2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project (but usable outside of the Gnome platform). Although the library is written in C, a variety of language bindings make it available in other environments.

Dependencies
Optional
- Python and Wget to run the full test-suite.
- LibXSLT is used in the test suite.
- Python is needed for example to build Gnome.
Test Suite Notes
If you wish to run the 32-bit test suites in a 64-bit environment (i.e. the 32Bit and N32 sections), you need to use make USE_ARCH=32 check. If you do not include USE_ARCH=32, then the Python tests will fail.
Non-Multilib
Compile the package:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make
Install the package
make install
Multilib
32Bit
Compile the package:
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" USE_ARCH=32 ./configure --prefix=/usr && make
Install the package
make install && mv -v /usr/bin/xml2-config{,-32}
N32
Compile the package:
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" USE_ARCH=n32 ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib32 && make
Install the package
make install && mv -v /usr/bin/xml2-config{,-n32}
64Bit
Compile the package:
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" USE_ARCH=64 ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib64 && make
Install the package
make install && mv -v /usr/bin/xml2-config{,-64} && ln -sfv multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/xml2-config

Short Descriptions
xml2-config | determines the compile and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use libxml2. |
---|---|
xmlcatalog | is used to monitor and manipulate XML and SGML catalogs. |
xmllint | parses XML files and outputs reports (based upon options) to detect errors in XML coding. |
libxml2.{so,a} | libraries provide the functions for programs to parse files that use the XML format. |
