Annotation of embedaddon/libxml2/README.tests, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       misho       1:                        README.tests
                      2: 
                      3:    Instructions for standalone test regressions of libxml2
                      4: 
                      5: libxml2-tests-$version.tar.gz contains 3 standalone C programs as well
                      6: as a large amount of tests and results coming from libxml2 itself and
                      7: from W3C, NIST, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and James Clark. Each C
                      8: program has a different testing purpose:
                      9: 
                     10:   runtest.c : runs libxml2 basic internal regression tests
                     11:   runsuite.c: runs libxml2 against external regression tests
                     12:   testapi.c : exercises the library public entry points
                     13:   testchar.c: exercise the check of character ranges and UTF-8 validation
                     14: 
                     15: The command:
                     16: 
                     17:   make -f Makefile.tests check
                     18: 
                     19: should be sufficient on an Unix system to build and exercise the tests
                     20: for the version of the library installed on the system. Note however
                     21: that there isn't backward compatibility provided so if the installed
                     22: version is older to the testsuite one, failing to compile or run the tests
                     23: is likely. In any event this won't work with an installed libxml2 older
                     24: than 2.6.20.
                     25: Building on other platfroms should be a matter of compiling the C files
                     26: like any other program using libxml2, running the test should be done
                     27: simply by launching the resulting executables.
