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. + +The homepage for this project is http://www.libexpat.org/. There +are links there to connect you to the bug reports page. If you need +to report a bug when you don't have access to a browser, you may also +send a bug report by email to expat-bugs@mail.libexpat.org. + +Discussion related to the direction of future expat development takes +place on expat-discuss@mail.libexpat.org.
