Note however +that there isn't backward compatibility provided so if the installed +version is older to the testsuite one, failing to compile or run the tests +is likely. In any event this won't work with an installed libxml2 older +than 2.6.20. +Building on other platfroms should be a matter of compiling the C files +like any other program using libxml2, running the test should be done +simply by launching the resulting executables. + +Daniel Veillard +Sun Jul 10 2005 |
