0.Assuming your perform your builds in $HOME directory and suggested subdirectories. 1.What is the process to compile Parser3? First, you must have LIBGC installed (conservative garbage collector for C++). libgc >= 6.1 [http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/gc6.1.tar.gz] Installation sequence of this library to $HOME/gc: cd libgc-x.x ./configure --prefix=$HOME/gc --disable-threads --silent make install Then you can use these Parser3 configure options to specify the location and static/dynamic linkage with libgc: --with-static-gc=$HOME/gc/lib --with-shared-gc=$HOME/gc/lib As most UNIX programs Parser3 follows the "standard": mkdir $HOME/parser3project cd $HOME/parser3project gunzip -c parser3-x.x.tar.gz | tar xvf - mv parser3-x.x parser3 cd parser3 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make That renaming is needed for SQL drivers to be able to find necessary include-file in Parser3 sources. NOTE: On some system you should run 'gmake'. NOTE: By default your would get 'parser3' binary without support of these features: * xml(xdoc and xnode classes) Read section (3) on getting xml-abled parser. Read section (4) on configure options. 2.What is the process to install Parser3? make install Installation layout: $prefix/bin/ parser3 -- CGI and command line Parser3 interpreter auto.p.dist -- configuration file sample, copy it to auto.p and adjust to your needs $prefix/etc/ parser3.charsets/ -- charset definition files koi8-r.cfg -- cyrillic charset [KOI8-R encoding] windows-1250.cfg -- central europian charset [windows-1250 encoding] windows-1251.cfg -- cyrillic charset [windows-1251 encoding] windows-1257.cfg -- baltic charset [windows-1257 encoding] 3.What other libraries are needed to compile/install parser? 3a. In case you wish XML(xdoc and xnode classes) support, you need libraries libxml2 >= 2.6.5 [ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2-2.6.5.tar.gz] libxslt >= 1.1.2 [ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxslt-1.1.2.tar.gz] glib >= 1.2.10 [ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.10.tar.gz] gdome2 >= 0.7.4 [http://gdome2.cs.unibo.it/tarball/gdome2-0.7.4.tar.gz] on your system, and specify path to them to Parser3 configure script. Sources of libgdome library must be patched prior to compile. [library author bug confirmation pending] Installation sequence of these libraries to $HOME/gnome: libxml2: cd libxml2-x.x.x ./configure --prefix=$HOME/gnome --without-zlib --without-iconv --silent make install libxslt: cd libxslt-x.x.x ./configure --with-libxml-prefix=$HOME/gnome --prefix=$HOME/gnome --without-debug --without-debugger --silent make install glib: cd glib-x.x.x ./configure --prefix=$HOME/gnome make install gdome2: cd gdome2-x.x.x patch -p0 < $HOME/parser3project/parser3/src/lib/patches/gdome2.patch ./configure --with-glib-prefix=$HOME/gnome --disable-glibtest --with-libxml-prefix=$HOME/gnome --prefix=$HOME/gnome --silent make install And copy these additional headers into install includes directory mkdir $HOME/gnome/include/libgdome/gdomecore cp libgdome/gdomecore/gdome-xml-node.h $HOME/gnome/include/libgdome/gdomecore cp libgdome/gdomecore/gdome-xml-document.h $HOME/gnome/include/libgdome/gdomecore Parser3 configure options, choose whether you need static or dynamic linkage with xml libs: --with-static-xml=$HOME/gnome --with-shared-xml=$HOME/gnome NOTE: In case your glib as installed into some other prefix, specify it's configuration file with --with-glib-config=/path/to/your/glib-config NOTE: In case you are using SHARED xml libraries, you may want to link in direct path to them, use this key to specify which linker key to use do do that: --with-pathlink=LKEY put dynamic libraries paths to binary using linker key (-R, -rpath-link) 3b. In case you wish $mail:receive support you need libraries glib >= 1.2.10 [ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.10.tar.gz] gmime >= 1.0.1 [http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/sources/gmime-1.0.5.tar.gz] on your system, and specify path to them to Parser3 configure script. You may have already installed glib at 3b step. glib: cd glib-x.x.x ./configure --prefix=$HOME/gnome make install gmime: cd gmime-x.x.x ./configure --prefix=$HOME/gnome make install Parser3 configure options, choose whether you need static or dynamic linkage with xml libs: --with-static-mailreceive=$HOME/gnome --with-shared-mailreceive=$HOME/gnome NOTE: In case your glib as installed into some other prefix, specify it's configuration file with --with-glib-config=/path/to/your/glib-config NOTE: In case you are using SHARED mime library, you may want to link in direct path to it, use this key to specify which linker key to use do do that: --with-pathlink=LKEY put dynamic libraries paths to binary using linker key (-R, -rpath-link) 4. In case you're not root on machine you're installing Parser, we recommend you to do: ./configure --prefix=/your/home/parser3install and afterwards copy parser3install/bin/parser3 to your CGI directory or make a symlink [if your web server configured to follow symlinks]. You can disable any exec operations by setting --disable-execs option to configure. file::exec, file::cgi and mail:send (unix version) methods would be disabled. You can enable reading and executing files, not belonging to group+user other then effective by setting --disable-safe-mode option to configure. You can disable user-configured sendmail commands by forcing it, setting "--with=sendmail=COMMAND" option to configure. In case you are experiencing problem with gcc runtime exception handling, try to configure with --with-sjlj-exceptions option. By default libstdc++ is linked statically, you can re-enable dynamic libstdc++ linkage by specifying --with-dynamic-stdcpp option to configure. Some root config options can be specified at configure time, and would override autodetects. List of enabled charsets: --with-charsets=CHARSET[,CHARSET,...] Enables charsets in root config (windows-1251, windows-1250 windows-1257 koi8-r; Default is windows-1251) SQL clients: --with-mysql-client=mysqlclientlib?params --with-pgsql-client=pgsqlclientlib?params --with-oracle-client=oracleclientlib?params Alexandr Petrosian (http://paf.design.ru) $Id: INSTALL,v 1.35 2004/02/10 10:41:52 paf Exp $
