Building on AIX

[kn...@us.ibm.com]

Hi!  I downloaded the binary file,  xml4c3_1_0-AIX43, and extracted them
using the gunzip and tar commands.

All I need to do is write a program similiar to SAXPRINT to read in an XML
file.

Do I need to use the Build Instructions that are on the xml.apache.org web
page?  If so,  what am I building?

I noticed the build instructions call for a change directory to a \src\
directory.  I do not have one of those?

I am having alot of trouble getting started.  IE,  I do not understand
build directions on web page.  Not sure if I need to do this or not.  ??
If I could just get SAXPRINT compiled and ran,  I think that would be a
good start for me.   Please help!  I'm very lost.

All you need is to change the code in SAXPrint and then
just rebuild the binaries. So as a first step, try to just
rebuild the samples. In short,
    set XERCESCROOT to your installation directory
    cd samples
    runConfigure -p aix -c xlc_r -x xlC_r
    gmake

If you wish to regenerate the parser library, then you need
to go into the src directory. SInce you downloaded the binary
drop, the src directory is missing as we do not package the
sources in a binary archive.
