XML is a metalanguage to design markup languages, i.e. text language where semantic and structure are added to the content using extra "markup" information enclosed between angle brackets. HTML is the most well-known markup language. This package provides the C library containing the API to manage XML data.

This software is distributed in two modes:

as compressed package that you have to download and manually install; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too;
as RPM package; you can install it using your favorite rpm package manager, that will take care to download and install both the software and its prerequisites.

Choose the installation mode that you prefer. Please note that not all the versions are available in both the installation modes.

Installation with rpm

This program is installable using the rpm package manager. See below for the install string. Required prerequisites are automatically processed by the package manager and, if needed, downloaded and installed.

XML C parser and toolkit (libXML2) v. 2.5.11 (13/11/2003, Ilya Zakharevich)	Readme/What's new	OS/2 EMX -Zmtd build of xml2 library v2-2.5.11 and xslt library v1.0.33 for parsing of XML. Requires ICONV.DLL and Z.DLL. Some tests for XSLT fail, but these failures seem to be not related to OS/2 build (see problems_libxslt-1.0.33 for a log). --------------------------------------------------- INSTALL Procedure Extract to d:/emx directory or an equivalent: unzip xml2-2-5-11-xslt-1-0-33.zip -d d:/emx Then move the contents of libxml and libxslt directories one level up, as in mv libxml/* . mv libxslt/* . [or an equivalent]. One needs to edit the configuration files to correct /usr/local to the actual install directory. One possible way (requires sh and perl): edit install_dir= line in try-relocate.cmd (with the above example, it should be install_dir=d:/emx), then run the script. --------------------------------------------------- BUILD Procedure The Perl script convert_configure is available from ilyaz.org/software/os2. In the build directories apply the supplied diff-* files (as in gnupatch -p1 < diff_libxml2-2.5.11 ), then do convert_configure (sh configure && make && make tests) \|& tee 00c1 os2\make-dll.cmd For XSLT: see diff_libxslt-1.0.33 for additional manual edits needed.
