2 | LIBXML2 build system for Win32 README
|
---|
3 | -------------------------------------
|
---|
4 |
|
---|
5 | In this folder are stored all the files required to compile LIBXML2 with win32 compilers.
|
---|
6 | Bakefile (http://bakefile.sourceforge.net) is used as makefile generator.
|
---|
7 |
|
---|
8 | Supported makefiles:
|
---|
9 | - makefile.vc for Microsoft NMAKE
|
---|
10 | - makefile.bcc for Borland MAKE
|
---|
11 | - makefile.wat for OpenWatcom MAKE
|
---|
12 | - makefile.gcc for MinGW MINGW32-MAKE
|
---|
13 | - all DSP & DSW for Microsoft VisualC++ 6.0 (can be used also with VS.NET AFAIK)
|
---|
14 |
|
---|
15 | This readme is organized as:
|
---|
16 | 1.0 HOWTO compile LIBXML2 using makefiles <-- for users who want to build the library using *command-line*
|
---|
17 | 1.1 HOWTO compile LIBXML2 using an IDE <-- for users who want to build the library using an *IDE*
|
---|
18 | 1.2 HOWTO regenerate makefiles for LIBXML2 <-- for libxml2 mantainers/developers/advanced users
|
---|
19 |
|
---|
20 | If you just want to compile the library (and the test programs) you should definitely avoid the
|
---|
21 | section 1.1 and focus on the 1.0.

28 | 1.0 HOWTO compile LIBXML2 using makefiles
|
---|
29 | -----------------------------------------
|
---|
30 |
|
---|
31 | Choose your preferred compiler among those actually supported (see above) and then run
|
---|
32 |
|
---|
33 | mycompilermake -fmakefile.makefileext [options]
|
---|
34 |
|
---|
35 | for a full list of the available options you should open with a notepad (or something like that)
|
---|
36 | the makefile you want to use; at the beginning you should see a section which starts as:
|
---|
37 |
|
---|
38 | # -------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
---|
39 | # These are configurable options:
|
---|
40 | # -------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | here you can find all the options actually used by that makefile.
|
---|
43 | They can be customized when running the makefile writing something like:
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | nmake -fmakefile.vc BUILD=release
|
---|
46 | mingw32-make -fmakefile.gcc BUILD=debug ICONV_DIR=c:\myiconv
|
---|
47 |
|
---|
48 | or they can be permanently changed modifying the makefile.
|
---|
49 | That's all: for any problem/compile-error/suggestion, write to
|
---|
50 | [email protected] with the word "libxml2" in the subject.

56 | 1.1 HOWTO compile LIBXML2 using an IDE
|
---|
57 | --------------------------------------
|
---|
58 |
|
---|
59 | Actually only the Microsoft VisualC++ 6.0 project files are generated.
|
---|
60 | In future other Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) will be supported as well.
|
---|
61 |
|
---|
62 | With MSVC++ 6.0, you should open the DSW file and then set as the active project the
|
---|
63 | "libxml2" project, if you want to build the library or one of the test projects if you
|
---|
64 | want to run them.
|
---|
65 | Using the command "Build->Set Active Configuration" you can choose one of the predefined
|
---|
66 | configuration.

72 | 1.2 HOWTO regenerate makefiles for LIBXML2
|
---|
73 | ------------------------------------------
|
---|
74 |
|
---|
75 | Be sure to have installed Bakefile (http://bakefile.sourceforge.net).
|
---|
76 | Just run the "bakefile_gen" command inside the folder containing the "libxml2.bkl" file.
|
---|
77 | NOTE: if you want to remove all the makefiles, you can use the "bakefile_gen -c" command.
|
---|
78 |
|
---|
79 | The template files used to generate all makefiles are only two:
|
---|
80 | - libxml2.bkl (the main one)
|
---|
81 | - Bakefiles.bkgen
|
---|
82 | All the other files can be dinamically regenerated.
|
---|

|
