Subject: [Expat-discuss] how to cross-compile expat to get shared lib?
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.61.0506221530400.11733@localhost.localdomain>


  i can't seem to cross-compile the latest version of "expat" to get a
shared ".so" library -- i just get the archive library.

  i want to cross-compile for the PPC, and i have the ELDK 3.1.1 PPC
cross-compiler installed, and ppc_8xx-gcc os on the search path, and i
ran the following:

  $ ./configure --host=ppc --enable-shared CC=ppc_8xx-gcc

some of the relevant output lines from that command:

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... powerpc-unknown-none
checking for ppc-gcc... ppc_8xx-gcc
...
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... yes
...
checking whether the ppc_8xx-gcc linker
(/usr/local/eldk3.1.1/usr/ppc-linux/bin/ld) supports shared
libraries... yes
...
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no
checking whether to build shared libraries... no
checking whether to build static libraries... yes

?????

so libtool doesn't support shared libs and that's why it chooses not
to build them?  or how should i read this?  thanks.

Subject: [Expat-discuss] how to handle empty elements
Message-ID: <BAY9-DAV510B8250301B0283BCD718DFED0@phx.gbl>

Hi

 

I'm using EXPAT on Red Hat Linux to import XML data into a database. I found out, if there is an empty element (<x/> or <x></x>), the character data handler does not get called.

This causes problems because of not well formed SQL insert statement (missing value).

I intended to solve the problem as follows:

 

(1) set a flag false in the start element handler

(2) set the flag true in the character data handler

(3) if the flag is false in the end element handler, do an action

(4) set the flag false in the end element handler

 

Is not calling the "character data handler" normal EXPAT behaviour if an element is empty?

Has anyone made similar experience and got a better solution than my tinkered one?

 

Thanks for your help.

Oliver

Normally, if you handle character data properly you would not
need such a flag. As you probably know, Expat might use multiple character
data call-backs to report one contiguous string of characters, so you
need to accumulate them in a buffer anyway. That means, in the start
element call-back you clear the buffer, in the character data call-backs
you accumulate data, and in the end element call-back you use the buffer.
In this case, detecting an empty element is as simple as checking for
an empty buffer.

Subject: [Expat-discuss] Expat parser is a validating parser?
Message-ID: <021b01c57b1b$c128fef0$be076c6b@sisodomain.com>

Hi,

I am using expat parser version 1.95.8 downloaded from http://expat.sourceforge.net/.
Can anyone please let me know if I can validate a dtd document using this parser?(i.e., is expat is a validating
parser? or just checks for well formedness?)

Also can any one share details how functionality of XML_SetParamEntityParsing( ) can be used?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Praveen

Expat is not a validating parser; it checks for well-formedness only.

What question about it did you have that wasn't covered in the documentation?  
(doc/reference.html in the source distribution).

Subject: [Expat-discuss] cross compil expat on ARM7
Message-ID: <1119949456.9981.27.camel@zoul>

Hello all,

I'm trying to cross-compil expat (just librarie static & shared) from my
host (i686-pc-linux-gnu) for an ARM7 target (S3C44B0X running on
uClinux)

I fixed the environnement variables follow :

export CC="arm-elf-gcc"

export CFLAGS="-DUNIX=1 -DMWPIXEL_FORMAT=MWPF_TRUECOLOR0888 -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -Dlinux -D__linux__ -Dunix -D__uClinux__ -DEMBED
-fno-builtin -I/home/vincent/uClinux-dist/linux-2.4.x/include -I." 

export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-elf2flt
-nostartfiles /home/vincent/uClinux-dist/lib/uClibc/lib/crt0.o /home/vincent/uClinux-dist/lib/uClibc/lib/crti.o /home/vincent/uClinux-dist/lib/uClibc/lib/crtn.o -L/home/vincent/uClinux-dist/lib/uClibc/. -L/home/vincent/uClinux-dist/lib/uClibc/lib"

When I try to run the ./configure like this " ./configure
--prefix=/home/vincent/uClinux-dist/lib/libexpat "

I have normaly the messages : "checking whether the C compiler works...
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'."

But I don't know what I must give for argument "host" ???

I try " ./configure --prefix=/home/vincent/uClinux-dist/lib/libexpat
--host=arm " but I don't think it's the good way !

Like this the Makefile are generated , my sample program compiled and
linked well (with the static libexpat.a) but doesn't work on the
target .... :(

Is anyboday can help me ??

(I'm not yet subscriber of mailing list "expat-discuss at libexpat.org"
please just mail me to v.brach at smie.com (or reply))

Thanks lot
