Preparations: ============= Install libxml2 sources from libxml.org. The versions we have used for ac++ are 2.6.17, 2.7.2, and 2.9.2. Configure the sources with... ./configure --prefix= --disable-shared --with-minimum --with-xpath --with-output --with-sax1 --with-tree For cross compiling a windows version on Linux you might add... --host=i586-mingw32msvc (or similar) Then run "make" and "make install". To make sure that the AspectC++ Makefile find the right libxml2-config command put the bin directory from in your command search path. Build the Puma library with your desired TARGET, e.g. "make TARGET=linux-release". Build AspectC++: ================ Set the PUMA environment variable to PUMA root directory (if Puma is not located in ../Puma). Execute "make" with the right TARGET setting from your Puma build, e.g. "make TARGET=linux-release". To weave and compile, use "make". To run the test programs, use "make testclean testall". You need to set the environment variable PUMA_CONFIG to your local puma.cfg, eg. ../Puma/gen-release/puma.cfg The examples can be tested with "make exampleclean examplerun".
