Introduction to LibXML2

The LibXML2 package contains XML libraries. These are useful for parsing XML files.

Dependencies

Optional

• Python && Wget to run the full test-suite.
• LibXSLT is used in the test suite.
• Python is needed for example to build gnome-panel.

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.
