+ Expat, Release 2.1.0
+
+This is Expat, a C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark.
+Expat is a stream-oriented XML parser. This means that you register
+handlers with the parser before starting the parse. These handlers
+are called when the parser discovers the associated structures in the
+document being parsed. A start tag is an example of the kind of
+structures for which you may register handlers.
+
+Windows users should use the expat_win32bin package, which includes
+both precompiled libraries and executables, and source code for
+developers.
+
+Expat is free software. You may copy, distribute, and modify it under
+the terms of the License contained in the file COPYING distributed
+with this package. This license is the same as the MIT/X Consortium
+license.
+
+Versions of Expat that have an odd minor version (the middle number in
+the release above), are development releases and should be considered
+as beta software. Releases with even minor version numbers are
+intended to be production grade software.
+
+If you are building Expat from a check-out from the CVS repository,
+you need to run a script that generates the configure script using the
+GNU autoconf and libtool tools. To do this, you need to have
+autoconf 2.58 or newer. Run the script like this:
+
+ ./buildconf.sh
+
+Once this has been done, follow the same instructions as for building
+from a source distribution.
+
+To build Expat from a source distribution, you first run the
+configuration shell script in the top level distribution directory:
+
+ ./configure
+
+There are many options which you may provide to configure (which you
+can discover by running configure with the --help option). But the
+one of most interest is the one that sets the installation directory.
+By default, the configure script will set things up to install
+libexpat into /usr/local/lib, expat.h into /usr/local/include, and
+xmlwf into /usr/local/bin. If, for example, you'd prefer to install
+into /home/me/mystuff/lib, /home/me/mystuff/include, and
+/home/me/mystuff/bin, you can tell configure about that with:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/home/me/mystuff
+
+Another interesting option is to enable 64-bit integer support for
+line and column numbers and the over-all byte index:
+
+ ./configure CPPFLAGS=-DXML_LARGE_SIZE
+
+However, such a modification would be a breaking change to the ABI
+and is therefore not recommended for general use - e.g. as part of
+a Linux distribution - but rather for builds with special requirements.
+
+After running the configure script, the "make" command will build
+things and "make install" will install things into their proper
+location. Have a look at the "Makefile" to learn about additional
+"make" options. Note that you need to have write permission into
+the directories into which things will be installed.
+
+If you are interested in building Expat to provide document
+information in UTF-16 encoding rather than the default UTF-8, follow
+these instructions (after having run "make distclean"):
+
+ 1. For UTF-16 output as unsigned short (and version/error
+ strings as char), run:
+
+ ./configure CPPFLAGS=-DXML_UNICODE
+
+ For UTF-16 output as wchar_t (incl. version/error strings),
+ run:
+
+ ./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fshort-wchar" \
+ CPPFLAGS=-DXML_UNICODE_WCHAR_T
+
+ 2. Edit the MakeFile, changing:
+
+ LIBRARY = libexpat.la
+
+ to:
+
+ LIBRARY = libexpatw.la
+
+ (Note the additional "w" in the library name.)
+
+ 3. Run "make buildlib" (which builds the library only).
+ Or, to save step 2, run "make buildlib LIBRARY=libexpatw.la".
+
+ 4. Run "make installlib" (which installs the library only).
+ Or, if step 2 was omitted, run "make installlib LIBRARY=libexpatw.la".
+
+Using DESTDIR or INSTALL_ROOT is enabled, with INSTALL_ROOT being the default
+value for DESTDIR, and the rest of the make file using only DESTDIR.
+It works as follows:
+ $ make install DESTDIR=/path/to/image
+overrides the in-makefile set DESTDIR, while both
+ $ INSTALL_ROOT=/path/to/image make install
+ $ make install INSTALL_ROOT=/path/to/image
+use DESTDIR=$(INSTALL_ROOT), even if DESTDIR eventually is defined in the
+environment, because variable-setting priority is
+1) commandline
+2) in-makefile
+3) environment
+
+Note: This only applies to the Expat library itself, building UTF-16 versions
+of xmlwf and the tests is currently not supported.
+
+Note for Solaris users: The "ar" command is usually located in
+"/usr/ccs/bin", which is not in the default PATH. You will need to
+add this to your path for the "make" command, and probably also switch
+to GNU make (the "make" found in /usr/ccs/bin does not seem to work
+properly -- appearantly it does not understand .PHONY directives). If
+you're using ksh or bash, use this command to build:
+
+ PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:$PATH make
+
+When using Expat with a project using autoconf for configuration, you
+can use the probing macro in conftools/expat.m4 to determine how to
+include Expat. See the comments at the top of that file for more
+information.
+
+A reference manual is available in the file doc/reference.html in this
+distribution.
