== Introduction to LibXML2 ==

The LibXML2 package contains XML libraries. These are useful for parsing XML files.

== Dependencies ==

=== Optional ===
* [[Python]] && [[Wget]] to run the full test-suite.
* [[LibXSLT]] is used in the test suite.
* [[Python]] is needed for example to build gnome-panel.

== Non-Multilib ==

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package

make install

== Multilib ==

=== 32Bit ===

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" USE_ARCH=32 ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/xml2-config{,-32}

=== N32 ===

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" USE_ARCH=n32 ./configure --prefix=/usr \
--libdir=/usr/lib32 &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/xml2-config{,-n32}

=== 64Bit ===

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" USE_ARCH=64 ./configure --prefix=/usr \
--libdir=/usr/lib64 &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/xml2-config{,-64} &&
ln -sfv multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/xml2-config
