This is a port of GNOME Libxml2 2.10.4 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.



1.:     DJGPP specific changes.
        =======================

      - This port has been configured to be build in the "0build" directory.
      - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3, Win98SE and
        MS-DOS 6.22 with DOSLFN v0.41f.
        There is absolute 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.
      - This version of the port has been compiled using gcc346 and bnu2351b.

        As usual, all djgpp specific files (config.bat, diffs, readme files,
        etc.) are located in the djgpp subdir.

        For further information about GNOME Libxml2 please read the info docs and NEWS file.


2.:     Installing the binary package.
        ==============================

2.1.:   Copy the binary distribution into the top DJGPP installation directory
        and unzip it running *ONE* of the following commands:
          unzip32 xml2104b.zip      or
          djtarx xml2104b.zip       or
          pkunzip -d xml2104b.zip


3.:     Building the binaries from sources.
        ===================================

3.1.:   Create a temporary directory and copy the source package into the
        directory.  If you download the source distribution from one of the
        DJGPP sites, just unzip it preserving the directory structure
        running one of the following commands:
          unzip32 xml2104s.zip      or
          djtarx xml2104s.zip       or
          pkunzip -d xml2104s.zip

3.2.:   To build the binaries you will need the following binary packages:
          djdev205.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version)
          bsh4428b.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version)
          gccNNNb.zip, bnuNNNb.zip, makNNNb.zip, filNNNb.zip, shlNNNb.zip,
          txtNNNb.zip, txiNNNb.zip, grepNNNb.zip, sedNNNb.zip, mktmpNNb.zip
          pkcNNNb.zip and difNNNb.zip.

        NNN represents the latest version number of the binary packages.  All
        this packages can be found in the "v2gnu" directory of any
        ftp.delorie.com mirror.
        You will need bsh4253b.zip or later and *NOT* a prior version or the
        build will fail on plain DOS.  Also no version before djdev205.zip is
        supported.

        If the build-in FTP and/or HTTP support is wanted then the Watt-32
        library (aka wat3211b.zip) must be installed.
        Also, if the build-in support for zlib and LZMA is wanted, those
        libraries (aka zlb1213b.zip and xz-525a.zip) must also be
        installed.
        This means that any application that uses this port requires that
        these ports are also installed in the DJGPP installation used.

3.3.:   The package has been configured to be build in a separate build directory
        under the top srcdir (aka libxml2-2.10.4).  To build the binaries cd
        into "0build" directory.  If for some reason you want to reconfigure the
        package cd into the build directory and run the following commands:
          del config.cache
          make clean
          ..\djgpp\config ./..

        Please note that you _must_ delete the config.cache file in the "0build"
        directory or you will not really reconfigure the sources because the
        configuration informations will be read from the cache file instead
        of being newly computed.

        config.bat, among other things, will start the configure script passing
        to it a couple of arguments.  You can control these argument passing the
        following command line arguments to config.bat:
          cache or no-cache, default cache.  Cache in build directory.
          dep or no-dep, default no-dep.  No dependency tracking.
          silent or no-silent, default silent.  Controls the verbosity of the
                                                build process.
          ftp or no-ftp, default no-ftp.  No build-in FTP support.
          http or no-http, default no-http.  No build-in HTTP support.
          python or no-python, default no-python.  No build-in python support.
        All other configure specific options are not set by config.bat so their
        values are left as they are.  If no arguments are passed to config.bat
        then the default values are used.
        Building with FTP and/or HTTP support requires install the DJGPP port
        of the Watt-32 library.


        To build the programs in a directory other than where the sources are,
        you must add the parameter that specifies the source directory,
        e.g:
          x:\src\contrib\libxml2-2.10.4\djgpp\config x:/src/contrib/libxml2-2.10.4

        Lets assume you want to build the binaries in a directory placed on a
        different drive (z:\build in this case) from where the sources are,
        then you will run the following commands:
          z:
          md \build
          cd \build
          x:\src\contrib\libxml2-2.10.4\djgpp\config x:/src/contrib/libxml2-2.10.4

        The order of the options and the srcdir option does not matter.  You
        _must_ use forward slashes to specify the source directory.

        The batch file will set same environment variables, make MSDOS specific
        modifications to the Makefile.in's and supply all other needed options
        to the configure script.

3.4.:   To compile the package run from the directory where you have configured
        the sources the command:
          make

3.5.:   Now you can run the tests if you like. From the directory where you have
        configured the sources run the command:
          make check
        The testuite requires LFN support to work properly and that the value of
        the FILES environment variable has been set to 35 in config.sys.  This
        is especially required if compiling in a DOS-box on Win98SE or later.

3.6.:   To install the binary, headers, library, info docs and man pages run
        the following command from the directory where you have configured the
        sources:
          make install

        This will install the products into your DJGPP installation tree given
        by the default prefix "/dev/env/DJDIR".  If you prefer to install them
        into some other directory you will have to set prefix to the appropriate
        value:
          make install prefix=z:/some/other/place
