1. What is the process to compile libxml?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As most UNIX libraries libxml follows the "standard":
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gunzip -c xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -
|
||
|
|
cd libxml-xxxx
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./configure --help
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to see the options, then the compilation/installation proper
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./configure [possible options]
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At that point you may have to rerun ldconfig or similar utility to
|
||
|
|
update your list of installed shared libs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At this point you can check that the library is properly functioning
|
||
|
|
by running
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make check
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please report test failures to the mailing list or bug tracker.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. What other libraries are needed to compile/install libxml?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Libxml does not require any other libraries. A platform with somewhat
|
||
|
|
recent POSIX support should be sufficient (please report any violation
|
||
|
|
to this rule you may find).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However if found at configuration time, libxml will detect and use
|
||
|
|
the following libs:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libz: a highly portable and widely available compression library
|
||
|
|
https://zlib.net/
|
||
|
|
liblzma: another compression library
|
||
|
|
https://tukaani.org/xz/
|
||
|
|
iconv: a powerful character encoding conversion library. It's
|
||
|
|
part of POSIX.1-2001, so it doesn't need to be installed
|
||
|
|
on modern UNIX-like systems, specifically on Linux.
|
||
|
|
https://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
|
||
|
|
ICU: Mainly used by Chromium on Windows. Unnecessary on most
|
||
|
|
systems.
