Re: [xml] RE: xml Digest, Vol 6, Issue 30

[Ron Ohmer <rohmer yahoo com>]

I reread this whole chain, there is something to be said for a little thicker skin on this.  Daniel does a lot for all of us, for free.  I understand his annoyances sometimes.  The same thing that you stated below about not replying.  You could have just as easily replied to just him, since the below is of a personal nature.

 

I have in the past gotten angry at Daniel's nature..  This was due mainly to my misunderstanding of his tremendous pressure that he willingly accepts by doing all of this (Again) for free.  Also there are cultural differences, and people from different cultures speak differently.  We have people on this like from nearly everywhere.  Some are proficent in English, some are not.  Accept this too and be happy that there is such a list to ask questions.  Sometimes you will get the answer you desire, most times you will be pointed in the right direction, and others you will be told to RTFM.  That's what you get for free. 

 

If this is unacceptable, I suggest Oracle's XML implementation, I am sure it is over priced, but you will not be flamed, and you will get the marginal tech support you desire.

 

That being said, consider re-reading Daniel's comments on cross compilation.  I believe the answer you desire lies in how you are cross compiling.  But I did not see the problem that you encounter below, so there is no way for me to tell you what the issue is.

Daniel,

I can't believe the arrogance that I sensed coming from your part, when I
read your reply. The fact of the matter is that I followed the steps in the
INSTALL file to the T but got nowhere. Just because you happen to be
proficient in this domain doesn't give you the license to treat everyone
else who doesn't as an idiot. So, if you don't feel a certain posting
deserves a reply, just ignore it and that would be OK with me. But, one
thing I sure don't need from you is a condescending reply such the one you
provided.

Goodbye.

autogeneration of bindings only happens if all types in the function
signature are handled by generate.py, in that case I think there is
no wrapper type or class for xmlValidCtxtPtr.

Except the sources, hum ... no. It's really custom made.

make, not Make ! If you did this you certainly had an error.

And you also need the make install step. Did you read the INSTALL file
coming
in the distribution ? It states

1.What is the process to compile libxml ?


As most UNIX libraries libxml follows the "standard":


gunzip -c xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -


cd libxml-xxxx


./configure --help


to see the options, then the compilation/installation proper


./configure [possible options]


make


make install

> CC=arm-linux-gcc. Instead, it still had CC=gcc. Does this mean that

Why do you need CC=arm-linux-gcc ? If your system is ARM and running
Linux you should just compile on the target system ? If not it's just about
basic cross compilation with the gcc tool chain and this list is not the
proper place to teach you doing cross compilation.

I don 't want to feel rude but if your job is to do embedded system
development, you really ought to know how to cross compile software using
a gcc cross compilation chain. It usually is a matter of doing
export CC=your compiler
./configure with proper options
make
make install

libxml2 should not be different from any other Unix/Gnu software in this
respect and learning to read the build and compilation logs to analyse
potential problems should be one of your basic work knowledge asset. This
can't be reduced to bugging an unrelated mailing list repeatedly until
someone does the job for you.

I bet:
1/ getNamedItem get XPath under the hood, or is defined in XPAth terms
2/ you xhtml has a default namespace.
3/ getNamedItem end up doing //empHours which won't select any node
in a default namespace.

it's XPath #1 pitfall for beginners.

hi,

is there an easy way to create nodes with a given XPath.

i have a given path and if this node and his parent's doesn't exist i will
create it.

is there a solution in libxml?

not automatic. XPath is a query only engine. Closest example is
http://xmlsoft.org/examples/index.html#xpath2.c
