This is a port of Libxml2 2.9.9 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project
(but usable outside of the Gnome platform), it is free software available
under the MIT License.
DJGPP specific changes.
=======================
- There are no user visible changes. Only small changes have been done
to get the library compiled, when no socket library like Watt-32 is
available. Also some minor IO stuff needed to be adjusted.
- If you want to enable either the FTP and/or the HTTP build-in support,
you will have to install the Watt-32 port and reconfigure and rebuild
the library from scratch. The port of the Watt-32 library is available
as:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3211b.zip
- If you want to enable ICONV build-in support, you will have to install
the iconv port and configure and rebuild the library.
The port of the iconv library is available as:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/licv116b.zip
- The documentation is only available as a large set of html documents
and their file names are not 8.3 clean. You will need LFN support to
install them, although I do not know if html formated documentation
makes any sense on plain DOS.
- The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3, Win98SE and
MS-DOS 7.10 with DOSLFN 0.41c. There is no guarantee that this may
be possible with any other DOS-like OS. Due to the use of long file
names it will not be possible to configure and compile without LFN
support. The port has been compiled using gcc346 and bnu232b.
As usual, all djgpp specific files (diffs, README files, etc.) are stored
in the "djgpp" directory. The sources have been configured to be build
in the "_build" directory. If for some reason it does not work for you,
delete it contents and configure from scratch again.
Please read the docs to become familiar with this product.
Here is an extract of the NEWS file showing the user visible changes
from the last port (Libxml2 2.9.7) to this one:
