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.
Project Homepage: http://xmlsoft.org/
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
Contents
| Installed Programs: | xml2-config, xmlcatalog, and xmllint |
|---|---|
| Installed Libraries: | libxml2.{so,a} and optionally, the libxml2mod.{so,a} Python module |
| Installed Directories: | /usr/include/libxml2, /usr/share/doc/libxml2-2.9.1, /usr/share/doc/libxml2-python-2.9.1 and /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libxml2 |
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. |
