libxml building

Hello to everybody.

  • Xml parser is required for using with c.
  • I have not admin privilegies => standard solution is not appropriate.
  • I've choose libxml
  • Sourses include .vms directory with .com file

The first problem is: how to run .com file.

I've tried to use @ for example @filename.com, but it has not worked.

  • Readme file contains the next:

  subdirectory.  In EDT you could see line feeds and carriage returns as
  <LF><CR> etc.  To correct this use the command

    $ set file <filespec> /attr=rfm=stm

 

but this command does not work too:

set file build_libxml.com/attr=rfm=asmd
%DCL-W-IVKEYW, unrecognized keyword - check validity and spelling
\ASMD\

Re: libxml building

The correct syntax of the "Set file /attrib" OpenVMS command is :

 

$ Set File /Attrib=(rfm:stm)  <filespec>

 

The following table lists the keywords and the relationship to both ACP-QIO and OpenVMS RMS File attributes:

 

Keyword            ACP-QIO File Attribute                                OpenVMS RMS FileAttribute

RFM:FIX             FAT$V_RTYPE=FAT$C_FIXED                    FAB$B_RFM=FAB$C_FIX
RFM:STM           FAT$V_RTYPE=FAT$C_STREAM               FAB$B_RFM=FAB$C_STM         <==
RFM:STMCR      FAT$V_RTYPE=FAT$C_STREAMCR          FAB$B_RFM=FAB$C_STMCR
RFM:STMLF      FAT$V_RTYPE=FAT$C_STREAMLF           FAB$B_RFM=FAB$C_STMLF
RFM:UDF           FAT$V_RTYPE=FAT$C_UNDEFINED         FAB$B_RFM=FAB$C_UDF
RFM:VAR          FAT$V_RTYPE=FAT$C_VARIABLE             FAB$B_RFM=FAB$C_VAR
RFM:VFC           FAT$V_RTYPE=FAT$C_VFC                        FAB$B_RFM=FAB$C_VFC

 

RFM:ASMD is not a valid file attibuite under OpenVMS.

 

As reported by the README, you should modify the file attribute of all vms specific files (only ascii format not binary), for example :

 

$ Set File/Attrib=RFM:STM [.vms]*.c,[.vms...]*.h,[.vms...]*.txt

 

But I don't exclude that you should modify also the file attribuite of other Source Codes of the libmxl distribution kit. Take a look into the libxml.com command procedure.

 

>>> I have not admin privilegies => standard solution is not appropriate

 

I suspect that your experiment will require also the "system" privileges...

 

Good luck,

Re: libxml building

Is helps, but not compleatly. I've got an error in the next fragment of com file:

 
$whoami = f$parse(f$environment("PROCEDURE"),,,,"NO_CONCEAL")
$   procdir = f$parse(whoami,,,"DEVICE") + f$parse(whoami,,,"DIRECTORY")
$   set default 'procdir'
 

Is the 'smth'  the equivalent of $smth in linux i.e. is this an getting of variable smth value?

Re: libxml building

Can you post the error that you observe when you run the command file ?

 

Your dcl code runs error free on my system (I inserted few lines only for the troubleshooting purposes)  :

 

$!  Test_alexander.com

$!
$   whoami  = f$parse(f$environment("PROCEDURE"),,,,"NO_CONCEAL")
$   write sys$output " "
$   write sys$output "whoami symbol = ''whoami'"
$   write sys$output " "
$   procdir = f$parse(whoami,,,"DEVICE") + f$parse(whoami,,,"DIRECTORY")
$   write sys$output " "
$   write sys$output "procdir symbol = ''procdir'"
$   write sys$output " "
$   set default 'procdir'
$!
$   Exit

 

$ sho def

    $2$DKA100:[000000]

 

$ @test_alexander

 

whoami symbol = $2$DKA100:[000000]test_alexander.com;1

Re: libxml building

Alexander,

 

instead of WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "tag1", insert the following:

 

...

$   whoami = f$parse(f$environment("PROCEDURE"),,,,"NO_CONCEAL")
$   procdir = f$parse(whoami,,,"DEVICE") + f$parse(whoami,,,"DIRECTORY")
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT whoami

$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT procdir
$   set default 'procdir'

...

Re: libxml building

I've run script from Maurizio De Tommaso_.
Script:

Re: libxml building

Volker,

I've implemented your suggestion.
Result is the next:

WX01> @build_libxml.com
$1$DGA123:[TST$USERS.][ALEXANDER.VAX_ESF.LIBXML2-2_9_1.VMS]BUILD_LIBXML.COM;

$1$DGA123:[TST$USERS.][ALEXANDER.VAX_ESF.LIBXML2-2_9_1.VMS]

Re: libxml building

Alexander,

 

the problem is in the directory name:

 

$ set def $1$DGA123:[TST$USERS.][ALEXANDER.VAX.LIBXML2-2_9_1]
%RMS-F-DIR, error in directory name
$ set def $1$DGA123:[TST$USERS.ALEXANDER.VAX.LIBXML2-2_9_1]   ! this works !

 

As a workaround, try setting your default directory using the working SET DEFAULT command above, before you invoke @build_libxml.com

 

 

Solving this problem would most likely require a concealed logical name and changes to your account in SYSUAF:

 

$ define/sys/exec/transl=conc tst$users $1$DGA123:[TST$USERS.]

And your login-directory should become something like TST$USERS:[ALEXANDER]

Re: libxml building

Thanks. Thsi error is fixed. But there are many another in compillation dependences.  I'll try to resolve it.

 

PS. But in general, I am looking for small xml library with validation written in pure c (or binaries for openvms alpha). It is an ideal if it will have only one library file and header. I want just include it in my project without any system installing.

Re: libxml building

I sucessfully compiled libxml2 for OpenVMS 8.4. See for the the modifactions I had to make:

  http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html#LIBXML2

 

Note that I always set the compilation qualifiers /float=ieee/name=(as_is,short).

The only reason, I do this is that this works for all packages displayed on my web-page, so ensuring inter-package comaptibility.

Re: libxml building

Thanks for the advice.

I've located patch contents into corresponding folders and get the same error:

$whoami = f$parse(f$environment("PROCEDURE"),,,,"NO_CONCEAL")
$   procdir = f$parse(whoami,,,"DEVICE") + f$parse(whoami,,,"DIRECTORY")

I've resolved it with manual pointing of paths.
After this I've got next compiller errors:

Re: libxml building

> Solving this problem would most likely require a concealed logical name ...

 

Hmm, to me it looks like there is already a concealed device, otherwise the result of f$parse (..."no_conceal") wouldn't contain the ".][".  And that is what the writer of the DCL script wanted, as that's the meaning of the parse-type "no_conceal". To me it looks like a bug in the script.

Re: libxml building

    (const xmlChar *) "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace".

If that's an exact cut and paste from the compiler message, then it looks like there is still a trailing character, which is shown as ".", here. As we all know, C would expect a ";" at the end. Also, as can be seen in the git repository, the tree.h include file has a

#define XML_XML_NAMESPACE \
    (const xmlChar *) "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"

 To me it looks like the "\" is not seen as the last character before the end of the record, so the #define is not continued, hence it is seen as a separate, but invalid declaration => %CC-E-DECLARATOR

Re: libxml building

Try this code should handle the logical device correctly:

 

$!  Test_alexander.com
$!
$   whoami  = f$environment("PROCEDURE")
$   procdev = f$parse(whoami,,,"DEVICE","no_conceal")
$   procdir = f$parse(whoami,,,"DIRECTORY","no_conceal")
$   procdir = procdir -"][" - "><" - "[" - "]" - "<" - ">"
$   procdir = "[" + procdir + "]"
$   procdir = procdev + procdir
$   set default 'procdir'
$!
$   Exit

Re: libxml building

I'm sure that an Alpha or I64 has enough cpu cycles to do this extra processing, but before "fixing" anything I would like to understand what the purpose of "no_conceal" in this context really is: is it needed for a simple "set default" or is there anything else?

Re: libxml building

Hartmut,

 

Removing the "no_conceal" from the f$parse used to define the whoami symbol would also have worked for the definition of procdir and the subsequent set default 'procdir' as below.

 

$ whoami = f$parse(f$environment("PROCEDURE"))

$ procdir = f$parse(whoami,,,"DEVICE") + f$parse(whoami,,,"DIRECTORY")

$ set default 'procdir'

 

I jumped to the conclusion that the procdir symbol might be parsed as a string later in the procedure to build a temporary logical root or build a subdirectory or a file specification that would then fail.

Re: libxml building

I've rid from trail symbols. The library was built without any errors. Thanks for the help.
