# OpenSP-1.5.2

## Introduction to OpenSP

The OpenSP package contains a C++ library for using SGML/XML files. This is useful for validating, parsing and manipulating SGML and XML documents.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.4 platform.

## Installation of OpenSP

Install OpenSP by running the following commands:

    sed -i 's/32,/253,/' lib/Syntax.cxx &&
    sed -i 's/LITLEN          240 /LITLEN          8092/' \
        unicode/{gensyntax.pl,unicode.syn} &&

    ./configure --prefix=/usr                              \
                --disable-static                           \
                --disable-doc-build                        \
                --enable-default-catalog=/etc/sgml/catalog \
                --enable-http                              \
                --enable-default-search-path=/usr/share/sgml &&

    make pkgdatadir=/usr/share/sgml/OpenSP-1.5.2

To test the results, issue: make check. As many as nine of the 23 tests may fail. Do not be alarmed.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make pkgdatadir=/usr/share/sgml/OpenSP-1.5.2 \
         docdir=/usr/share/doc/OpenSP-1.5.2      \
         install &&

    ln -v -sf onsgmls   /usr/bin/nsgmls   &&
    ln -v -sf osgmlnorm /usr/bin/sgmlnorm &&
    ln -v -sf ospam     /usr/bin/spam     &&
    ln -v -sf ospcat    /usr/bin/spcat    &&
    ln -v -sf ospent    /usr/bin/spent    &&
    ln -v -sf osx       /usr/bin/sx       &&
    ln -v -sf osx       /usr/bin/sgml2xml &&
    ln -v -sf libosp.so /usr/lib/libsp.so

## Command Explanations

sed -i 's/32,/253,/...unicode.syn}: These seds prevent some annoying messages that may otherwise appear while running openjade.

`--disable-static`: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

`--enable-http`: This switch adds support for HTTP.

`--disable-doc-build`: This switch prevents the configure script checking if you have xmlto installed. If you have xmlto, you can remove this option.

`--enable-default-catalog=/etc/sgml/catalog`: This switch sets the path to the centralized catalog.

`--enable-default-search-path`: This switch sets the default value of `SGML_SEARCH_PATH`.

`--enable-xml-messages`: This switch adds support for XML Formatted Messages.

make pkgdatadir=/usr/share/sgml/OpenSP-1.5.2: This sets the pkgdatadir variable in the `Makefile` from `/usr/share/OpenSP` to `/usr/share/sgml/OpenSP-1.5.2`.

ln -v -sf ...: These commands create the SP equivalents of OpenSP executables and libraries.

### Short Descriptions

onsgmls | is used to process SGML files.
osgmlnorm | prints on the standard output a normalized document instance for the SGML document contained in the concatenation of the entities with system identifiers .nf and .fi.
ospam | is a markup stream editor.
ospcat | prints effective system identifiers found in the catalogs.
ospent | provides access to OpenSP's entity manager.
osx | is an SGML normalizer or used to convert SGML files to XML files.
nsgmls | is a symlink to onsgmls.
sgml2xml | is a symlink to osx.
sgmlnorm | is a symlink to osgmlnorm.
spam | is a symlink to ospam.
