| 3 4This is Expat, a C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark. 5Expat is a stream-oriented XML parser. This means that you register 6handlers with the parser before starting the parse. These handlers 7are called when the parser discovers the associated structures in the 8document being parsed. A start tag is an example of the kind of 9structures for which you may register handlers. 10 --- 9 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 20Versions of Expat that have an odd minor version (the middle number in 21the release above), are development releases and should be considered 22as beta software.

To do this, you need to have |
| 28autoconf 2.52 or newer and libtool 1.4 or newer (1.5 or newer preferred). 29Run the script like this: | 28autoconf 2.58 or newer. Run the script like this: |
