XML Shell: Installation

3. Installation

You need:

A POSIX C compiler, a POSIX system and any kind of make
libxml 1 installed somewhere on your system, complete of the headers (in Debian, install libxml-dev)
the script ``xml-config'' somewhere in your path

After decompressing the tarball with something like


  gzip -cd xml-sh.tar.gz |tar xv

just cd into xml-sh and run make.


  $ cd xml-sh
  $ make

and you should be done. Now, you can simply copy the file xml-sh wherever you prefer.

Keep in mind that xml-sh is really simple... you shouldn't have any problem compiling it once all the prerequisites are satisfied. It actually took me longer to write this document than to hack xml-sh. Have fun!
