Since several generated files are under version control, their
timestamps are essentially random and rebuilding documentation using
Makefile rules can't work reliably. Simply add a phony rebuild target
that regenerates the whole documentation and other files
unconditionally.
make -C doc rebuild
This code has been broken and deprecated since version 2.6.0, released
in 2003. Because of a bug in commit 961b535c, DOCBparser.c was never
compiled since 2012. I couldn't find a Debian package using any of its
symbols, so it seems safe to remove this module.
configure.am:
* Explicitly disallow --enable-rebuild-docs when builddir != srcdir, per
what you said about needing to build docs with an in-source build
doc/Makefile.am:
* Ensure that xmlversion.h is in the source tree before running
apibuild.py, to avoid generating an incomplete libxml2-api.xml
* Update the .PHONY target (forgot to do this earlier)
doc/devhelp/Makefile.am:
* Wrap the doc-generating rule in an "if REBUILD_DOCS" conditional so it
doesn't cause trouble for regular users
* Added a handy-dandy "rebuild" target
doc/examples/index.py:
* NOTE: You need to run this script to regenerate the files it creates,
and then commit the newly-updated files! The generated files currently
in git master (e.g. doc/examples/Makefile.am) are out of date even
before this patch!
* index.html really needs to be in EXTRA_DIST
* Wrap the doc-generating rules in an "if REBUILD_DOCS" conditional,
because they shouldn't be active otherwise
doc/Makefile.am:
* Build what's in doc/ before doc/devhelp/, as the dependency graph flows
that way
* Add "--path $(srcdir)" so that xsltproc can find DTDs in srcdir
* Replaced $(top_srcdir)/doc with an equivalent $(srcdir)
* Qualified libxml2-api.xml with $(srcdir) as it's always generated there
* Rewrote the dependencies for libxml2-api.xml so that xmlversion.h
doesn't throw everything off
doc/devhelp/Makefile.am:
* Use Automake constructs to install the HTML files instead of an
install-data-local rule
* Reorganized the file a bit (hello whitespace!)
* EXTRA_DIST doesn't need to list so many files now that dist_devhelp_DATA
is being used
* Only print "Rebuilding devhelp files" if rebuilding is actually
occurring
doc/examples/index.py:
* Make the "this file is auto-generated" banner more prominent
* Autotools updates: Use AM_CPPFLAGS/AM_CFLAGS instead of INCLUDES
* Got rid of DEPS as it's not needed (Automake already sees the dependency
on libxml2.la by way of LDADD(S))
* Replaced LDADDS with LDADD, which is applied to all programs listed
in the file. Since all the test programs have the same link
dependencies, this way is more concise yet equivalent.
* Remove the *.tmp files via "make clean" instead of having the test
programs do it themselves (more on this later)
* Invoke index.py in srcdir, as it pretty much needs to run there
* Restructured the index.html rule so that only the xmllint invocation is
allowed to fail
* Use $(MKDIR_P) instead of $(mkinstalldirs), $(VAR) instead of @VAR@
* Remove symlinks for test?.xml in an out-of-source build
* Sort lists for neatness
* Better formatting for EXTRA_DIST and noinst_PROGRAMS variables
* Simplified the Automake bits printed for each program: *_LDFLAGS doesn't
need to be specified as it's empty anyway, *_DEPENDENCIES is redundant,
*_LDADD isn't needed due to the global LDADD
* Added a bit that symlinks in test?.xml from srcdir in out-of-source
builds. This allows the reader4 test to read these files in the current
directory, which ensures that the output always looks the same (i.e.
does not contain references to srcdir)
* Don't hide the test program invocation (or else it's hard to tell which
test failed), and don't use superfluous parentheses
* NOTE: If you check in these changes, be sure to run this script and also
check in the updated files that it generates!
doc/examples/*.c:
* Updated the test: lines so that
+ "&&" is used to separate commands instead of ";" so that errors are
not masked
+ reference files are qualified with $(srcdir)/
+ no "rm" takes place -- these are a problem because (1) if a test
fails, it's useful to have the output file ready for inspection; (2)
the "rm" invocation masks a potential non-zero exit status from diff
(This is why I added the CLEANFILES line above)
doc/examples/io1.res:
* Updated this ref file so that the test passes. (This is correct, right?)
doc/examples/reader4.res:
* Changed this back to its original form, as the symlinking of test?.xml
means this file no longer has to contain path prefixes on the filenames
doc/examples/testWriter.c:
* Changed the output filenames to *.tmp instead of *.res, partly for
consistency, partly to not have to add special cases to CLEANFILES
doc/examples/xpath1.c:
* Removed the "./" prefix on the test invocation, which is redundant as
index.py already adds one
Makefile.am:
* Don't use @VAR@, use $(VAR). Autoconf's AC_SUBST provides us the Make
variable, it allows overriding the value at the command line, and
(notably) it avoids a Make parse error in the libxml2_la_LDFLAGS
assignment when @MODULE_PLATFORM_LIBS@ is empty
* Changed how the THREADS_W32 mechanism switches the build between
testThreads.c and testThreadsWin32.c as appropriate; using AM_CONDITIONAL
allows this to work cleanly and plays well with dependencies
* testapi.c should be specified as BUILT_SOURCES
* Create symlinks to the test/ and result/ subdirs so that the runtests
target is usable in out-of-source-tree builds
* Don't do MAKEFLAGS+=--silent as this is not portable to non-GNU Makes
* Fixed incorrect find(1) syntax in the "cleanup" rule, and doing "rm -f"
instead of just "rm" is good form
* (DIST)CLEANFILES needed a bit more coverage to allow "make distcheck" to
pass
configure.in:
* Need AC_PROG_LN_S to create test/ and result/ symlinks in Makefile.am
* AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL and AM_PROG_LIBTOOL are obsolete; these have been
superceded by LT_INIT
* Don't rebuild docs by default, as this requires GNU Make (as
implemented)
* Check for uint32_t as some platforms don't provide it
* Check for some more functions, and undefine HAVE_MMAP if we don't also
HAVE_MUNMAP (one system I tested on actually needed this)
* Changed THREADS_W32 from a filename insert into an Automake conditional
* The "Copyright" file will not be in the current directory if builddir !=
srcdir
doc/Makefile.am:
* EXTRA_DIST cannot use wildcards when they refer to generated files; this
breaks dependencies. What I did was define EXTRA_DIST_wc, which uses GNU
Make $(wildcard) directives to build up a list of files, and EXTRA_DIST,
as a literal expansion of EXTRA_DIST_wc. I also added a new rule,
"check-extra-dist", to simplify checking that the two variables are
equivalent. (Note that this works only when builddir == srcdir)
(I can implement this differently if desired; this is just one way of
doing it)
* Don't define an "all" target; this steps on Automake's toes
* Fixed up the "libxml2-api.xml ..." rule by using $(wildcard) for
dependencies (as Make doesn't process the wildcards otherwise) and
qualifying appropriate files with $(srcdir)
(Note that $(srcdir) is not needed in the dependencies, thanks to VPATH,
which we can count on as this is GNU-Make-only code anyway)
doc/devhelp/Makefile.am:
* Qualified appropriate files with $(srcdir)
* Added an "uninstall-local" rule so that "make distcheck" passes
doc/examples/Makefile.am:
* Rather than use a wildcard that doesn't work, use a substitution that
most Make programs can handle
doc/examples/index.py:
* Do the same here
include/libxml/nanoftp.h:
* Some platforms (e.g. MSVC 6) already #define INVALID_SOCKET:
user@host:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/\
Include$ grep -R INVALID_SOCKET .
./WINSOCK.H:#define INVALID_SOCKET (SOCKET)(~0)
./WINSOCK2.H:#define INVALID_SOCKET (SOCKET)(~0)
include/libxml/xmlversion.h.in:
* Support ancient GCCs (I was actually able to build the library with 2.5
but for this bit)
python/Makefile.am:
* Expanded CLEANFILES to allow "make distcheck" to pass
python/tests/Makefile.am:
* Define CLEANFILES instead of a "clean" rule, and added tmp.xml to allow
"make distcheck" to pass
testRelax.c:
* Use HAVE_MMAP instead of the less explicit HAVE_SYS_MMAN_H (as some
systems have the header but not the function)
testSchemas.c:
* Use HAVE_MMAP instead of the less explicit HAVE_SYS_MMAN_H
testapi.c:
* Don't use putenv() if it's not available
threads.c:
* This fixes the following build error on Solaris 8:
libtool: compile: cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I./include -I./include \
-D_REENTRANT -D__EXTENSIONS__ -D_REENTRANT -Dsparc -Xa -mt -v \
-xarch=v9 -xcrossfile -xO5 -c threads.c -KPIC -DPIC -o threads.o
"threads.c", line 442: controlling expressions must have scalar type
"threads.c", line 512: controlling expressions must have scalar type
cc: acomp failed for threads.c
*** Error code 1
trio.c:
* Define isascii() if the system doesn't provide it
trio.h:
* The trio library's HAVE_CONFIG_H header is not the same as LibXML2's
HAVE_CONFIG_H header; this change is needed to avoid a double-inclusion
win32/configure.js:
* Added support for the LZMA compression option
win32/Makefile.{bcb,mingw,msvc}:
* Added appropriate bits to support WITH_LZMA=1
* Install the header files under $(INCPREFIX)\libxml2\libxml instead of
$(INCPREFIX)\libxml, to mirror the install location on Unix+Autotools
xml2-config.in:
* @MODULE_PLATFORM_LIBS@ (usually "-ldl") needs to be in there in order for
`xml2-config --libs` to provide a complete set of dependencies
xmllint.c:
* Use HAVE_MMAP instead of the less-explicit HAVE_SYS_MMAN_H
* libxml.spec.in doc/devhelp/*: finished the integration with
devhelp, completing the index and inserted into the gtk-doc
database at "make install" stage
Daniel
* configure.in doc/Makefile.am doc/apibuild.py doc/libxml2-api.xml
doc/devhelp/*: started work needed to generate devhelp content,
not too hard based on the existing format and extractor.
