|
============================ |

|
|
| 4 |
- ocaml 3.06 |
CDuce is written in the OCaml programming language. It has been |
| 5 |
|
successfully compiled under Intel Linux, Mac OSX, SunOS 5.7, FreeBSD 4.7. |
| 6 |
|
and Windows XP. |
| 7 |
|
(See INSTALL.WIN32 for installation under Windows) |
| 8 |
|
|

Normally, we don't need any longer the patch for nat_stubs.c; |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

if someone gets the error "Abstract value", please report it to me... |
Prerequisites |
| 11 |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 12 |
|
|

- ocamlfind |
Before compiling CDuce, you need to install recent releases of the |
| 14 |
http://www.ocaml-programming.de/packages/findlib-0.8.1.tar.gz |
following packages: |
| 15 |
|
|
| 16 |
- pcre |
ocaml => 3.07 |
| 17 |
http://www.pcre.org/ |
http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/distrib.html |
| 18 |
./configure --prefix=... --disable-shared |
findlib |

Important notes: |
|
In Makefile.conf: |
|
|
export STATIC = yes |
|
|
export INCDIRS := /users/formel8/frisch/freebsd/pcre/include |
|
|
export LIBDIRS := /users/formel8/frisch/freebsd/pcre/lib |
|
| 30 |
|
|
| 31 |
After make all, make opt: |
- OCaml: cduce uses recursive modules so versions of OCaml before 3.07 |
| 32 |
cd lib |
will not work. Also the standard distribution has two bugs that make |
| 33 |
cp ../META . |
CDuce compilation fail. Patch OCaml source by |
|
ocamlfind install pcre META *.a *.cma *.cmxa *.cmi *.mli |
|
| 34 |
|
|
| 35 |
- ocamlnet |

| 36 |
|

| 37 |
|
|
| 38 |
- pxp |
or (better) install OCaml cvs version |
| 39 |
|
cvs -d":pserver:anoncvs@camlcvs.inria.fr:/caml" login |
| 40 |
|
hit enter key when asked for password |
| 41 |
|
cvs -d":pserver:anoncvs@camlcvs.inria.fr:/caml" co ocaml |
| 42 |
|
|
| 43 |
- wlex |
- pcre-ocaml: you may also need to install the PCRE library |
| 44 |
|
from http://www.pcre.org/ [red-hat users: 4.3 package does |
| 45 |
|
not work with the latest pcre-ocaml version, use tarballs] |
| 46 |
|
>= 5.03 recommended but previous versions may work |
| 47 |
|
|
| 48 |
|
- PXP: |
| 49 |
|
CDuce requires a development version >= 1.1.93. |
| 50 |
|
|
| 51 |
|
Note: |
| 52 |
|
It is enough to build support UTF8 and ISO-8859-1 ocamllex-lexers: |
| 53 |
|
./configure -without-wlex -without-wlex-compat -lexlist utf8,iso88591 |
| 54 |
|
|
| 55 |
|
Efficiency issues: |
| 56 |
|
|
| 57 |
|
- OCamlnet: if you plan to load XML file with encodings other than |
| 58 |
|
UTF-8, it is advised to use a recent version of OCamlnet (>= 0.96). |
| 59 |
|
Indeed, the netconversion module in the previous release (0.95) was |
| 60 |
|
very slow, and it has been rewritten since then. |
| 61 |

|
Compilation |
| 64 |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 65 |
|
|
| 66 |
|
You need a GNU Make (or equivalent) to use the Makefile from the |
| 67 |
|
distribution. It defines the following goals: |
| 68 |
|
|
| 69 |
|
- make cduce |
| 70 |
|
compiles the CDuce command line interpreter |
| 71 |
|
|
| 72 |
|
- make dtd2cduce |
| 73 |
|
compiles the dtd2cduce tools (converts DTD to CDuce types) |
| 74 |
|
|
| 75 |
|
- make webiface |
| 76 |
|
compiles the CDuce web interface interpreter (to be used as a CGI script) |
| 77 |
|
|
| 78 |
|
- make webpages |
| 79 |
|
compiles in the web/www/ subdirectory the HTML files for the CDuce website |
| 80 |
|
(including the tutorial and manual) |
| 81 |
|
|
| 82 |
|
- make install_web |
| 83 |
|
compiles webiface and webpages, and install everything (see Makefile.conf) |
| 84 |
|
|
| 85 |
|
- make all |
| 86 |
|
equivalent to (make cduce dtd2cduce) |
| 87 |
|
|
| 88 |
|
- make install |
| 89 |
|
it installs |
| 90 |
|
cduce and dtd2cduce into $(PREFIX)/bin |
| 91 |
|
cduce.1 into $(PREFIX)/man/man1 |
| 92 |
|
(see PREFIX below) |
| 93 |
|
|
| 94 |
|
Makefile accepts the following options. |
| 95 |
|
|
| 96 |
|
NATIVE=true : use the OCaml native code compiler (ocamlopt) to build CDuce |
| 97 |
|
NATIVE=false : use the OCaml bytecode compiler (ocamlc) |
| 98 |
|
default: true (the native code version is much faster) |
| 99 |
|
|
| 100 |
|
PXP_WLEX=true : use wlex for parsing UTF-8 XML files |
| 101 |
|
PXP_WLEX=false: use ocamllex for parsing UTF-8 XML files |
| 102 |
|
default: false (ocamllex is faster; wlex is more compact) |
| 103 |
|
|
| 104 |
|
EXPAT=true: build expat support (see below) |
| 105 |
|
|
| 106 |
|
PREFIX=/usr/local by default: where to install CDuce files (see |
| 107 |
|
Makefile.conf) |
| 108 |
|
|
| 109 |
|
E.g.: |
| 110 |
|
make cduce NATIVE=false |
| 111 |
|
|
| 112 |
|
You can also modify Makefile.conf to set values for these choices. |
| 113 |
|
|
| 114 |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 115 |
|
Support for the expat parser |
| 116 |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 117 |
|
|
| 118 |
|
CDuce can uses two XML parsers: PXP and expat. PXP is needed |
| 119 |
|
to build CDuce, and expat support can be additionnaly added. |
| 120 |
|
Here is how to do so. |
| 121 |
|
|
| 122 |
|
You need to install the expat C library and the OCaml wrapper. |
| 123 |
|
The wrapper can be found at: |
| 124 |
|
|
| 125 |
|
http://home.wanadoo.nl/maas/ocaml/ |
| 126 |
|
|
| 127 |
|
Once the wrapper and be installed, you can build CDuce with |
| 128 |
|
the Makefile option EXPAT=true (which can be set on make command |
| 129 |
|
line or in Makefile.conf). |
| 130 |
|
|
| 131 |
|
The interpreter is now using expat for loading XML files. |
| 132 |
|
You can still use PXP by providing the --pxp switch on the command |
| 133 |
|
line. |
| 134 |
|
|
| 135 |
|
Note: the current wrapper for expat does not support inclusion |
| 136 |
|
of external entities. Moreover, the error messages in case of |
| 137 |
|
ill-formed XML are less informative than PXP's. |
