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 executalbes, 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. - -To build expat, 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 - -After running the configure script, the "make" command will build -things and "make install" will install things into their proper -location. Note that you need to have write permission into the -directories into which things will be installed. - -When building for use with C++, you may need to add additional -compiler flags to support proper interaction with exceptions. This -can be done by setting the CFLAGS environment variable. For example, -when using GCC, you can use: - - CFLAGS=-fexceptions ./configure - -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 - -A reference manual is available in the file doc/reference.html in this -distribution. - -The homepage for this project is http://expat.sourceforge.net/. 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@lists.sourceforge.net. - -Discussion related to the direction of future expat development takes -place on expat-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net.
