Intro + ======================================== + + Sablotron is based on Expat XML parser. + + There is a significant change of how Expat is used since version + 0.50. Sablotron _never_ looks for Expat under its own source tree, but + it supposes, that you have installed Expat library (1.95.1 or later) + in your system. + + To get Expat, visit + + http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/ + + and download/install source/binary package. + + + 2. Sablotron binaries + ======================================== + + Download and extract the binary package. The only requirement is that + expat.dll must be installed in your system. You can download + the Sablot dll as binary from http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/. + If you download a Windows binary of expat you have to rename it to expat.dll + (without a version number). Ensure expat.dll is on your PATH. + + Copy sablot.dll and sabcmd.exe somewhere to your PATH. + + 2.1. Binaries and dependencies + ------------------------------ + + To support other than built-in charsets you must use the iconv library. + To support JavaScript extensions you must use JS library by Mozilla. + For your convenience, There is a Sablotron binary package available + supporting both iconv and JavaScript. This package + (Sablot-Win-x.xx-FullPack.zip) actualy contains three independent products: + + - Sablotron binary (linking iconv) + - iconv binary (look at ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/ for sources) + - JavaScript binary (look at http://www.mozilla.org/js/ for sources) + + Copy iconv.dll, js32.exe, sablot.dll and sabcmd.exe somewhere to your PATH. + + + 3. Building Sablotron from sources + ======================================== + + If you have downloaded the binary distribution, you can skip reading this + section. + + To build Sablotron from sources you have to build expat first. Download + expat sources from http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/ and build it + (project file for MS DevStudio 6.0 is included). -Then you need two files from the expat distribution: expat.h and expat.lib. -Copy both of them to a directory of your choice (c:\temp\lib, for example). -Extract Sablot sources, go to Sablot-x.xx directory and type: - nmake -f Makefile.nt EXPAT=<ex-path> EXPAT_LIB=<ex-lib-path> +Sablotron can be built with many different options. These options are defined + +in sablot_config.msvc file. You can either edit this file or preferably create + +its local copy named sablot_config.local. The config file itself is rather -To build with iconv and JavaScript (these two dependencies are independent -of each other) type: +self-decriptive. - nmake -f Makefile.nt EXPAT=<ex-path> EXPAT_LIB=<ex-lib-path> ICONV=<ic-path> JS=<js-path> -where - <ex-path> is the path to the directory where you installed expat, and - <ex-lib-path> is the full name of expat.lib ***relative to <ex-path>***. - <ic-path> is the path where iconv is installed [OPTIONAL]. - <js-path> is the path where JavaScript is installed. -For example, - nmake -f Makefile.nt EXPAT=c:\temp\expat EXPAT_LIB=lib\Debug\expat.lib -or - nmake -f Makefile.nt EXPAT=c:\expat-1.95.1 EXPAT_LIB=expat_1_95_1.lib ICONV=\libiconv-1.3 JS=jc:\js-1.5 +The recommended procedure is the following: + + + +1. copy sablot_config.msvc to sablot_config.local + +2. edit sablot_config.local + +3. type 'nmake -f makefile.msvc' + + Then install the Sablotron DLL and executable as described in section 2. -Make sure expat.dll (iconv.dll, js32.dll) are on your PATH. + +Make sure expat.dll (iconv.dll, js32.dll) are on your PATH (if you link them). + + + 3.1. Notes on dependencies + -------------------------- + + Iconv is a library for encoding conversions. You don't need to have it + installed, but in that case, you will only be able to use a few encodings. + Sablot has been tested on NT with Bruno Haible's implementation of iconv, + available from ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/libiconv-1.3.tar.gz + + If you change the way Sablot or iconv are being built, make sure they both + use the DLL version of the C runtime library (msvcrt.dll), i.e. compile + with /MD. This is because they need to share the global variable errno. + + JavaScript is the popular Netscape-developed object scripting language. + Sablotron has to link the JS engine to enable extension functions. + See http://www.mozilla.org/js/ for more details or to get sources. + + + 4.
