<h2>Implementation-specific notes</h2>
<p>
CXML should be portable to all Common Lisp implementations
supported by <a
href="http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-plus-ssl/#trivial-gray-streams">trivial-gray-streams</a>.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
SBCL and CLISP will trip over cxml's non-ASCII source files
unless run using a suitable locale configuration
(<tt>LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1</tt> should help).
</li>
<li>
The SBCL port uses 16 bit surrogate characters instead of taking
advantage of SBCL's full 21 bit character support.
</li>
</ul>
<a name="compilation"/>
<h2>Compilation</h2>
<p>
<a href="http://www.cliki.net/asdf">ASDF</a> is used for
compilation. The following instructions assume that ASDF has
already been loaded.
</p>
<p>
<b>Prerequisites.</b>
CXML needs the <a href="http://www.cliki.net/Puri">puri</a> library
as well as <a href="http://www.common-lisp.net/project/cl-plus-ssl/#trivial-gray-streams">trivial-gray-streams</a>.
</p>
<p>
<b>Compiling and loading CXML.</b>
Register the .asd file, e.g. by symlinking it:
</p>
<pre>$ ln -sf `pwd`/cxml.asd /path/to/your/registry/</pre>
<p>Then compile CXML using:</p>
<pre>* (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :cxml)</pre>
<p>
You can then try the <a href="quickstart.html">quick-start example</a>.
</p>
<a name="tests"/>
<h2>Tests</h2>
<p>Check out the XML and DOM testsuites:</p>
<pre>$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@dev.w3.org:/sources/public
$ cvs login # password is "anonymous"
$ cvs co 2001/XML-Test-Suite/xmlconf
$ cvs co -D '2005-05-06 23:00' 2001/DOM-Test-Suite
$ cd 2001/DOM-Test-Suite && ant dom1-dtd dom2-dtd</pre>
<p>
Omit <tt>-D</tt> to get the latest version, which may not work
with cxml yet. The <tt>ant</tt> step is necessary to run the DOM
tests.
</p>
<p>Usage:</p>
<pre>* (xmlconf:run-all-tests "/path/to/2001/XML-Test-Suite/xmlconf/")
* (domtest:run-all-tests "/path/to/2001/DOM-Test-Suite/")
</pre>
<p>
To compare your results with known output, refer to the files
<tt>XMLCONF</tt> and <tt>DOMTEST</tt> in the cxml distribution.
</p>
<p>
<i>fixme</i>: Add an explanation of xml/sax-tests here.
</p>
<p>
<b>fixme</b> domtest.lisp does not understand the current
testsuite driver anymore.&nbsp; To fix this problem, revert the
affected files manually after check-out:
</p>
<pre>$ cd 2001/XML-Test-Suite/xmlconf/
xmltest$ patch -p0 -R &lt;/path/to/cxml/test/xmlconf-base.diff</pre>
<p>
The log message for the changes reads "<i>Removed unnecessary
xml:base attribute</i>".&nbsp; If I understand correctly, only
DOM&nbsp;3 parsers provide the baseURI attribute necessary for
understanding <tt>xmlconf.xml</tt> now.&nbsp; We don't have that
yet.
