Installing XSD/e on Debian and alike

This README describes installing XSD/e from combined binary/source packages on Debian and alike (Ubuntu, etc).

The following packages are provided for Debian and alike (here <...> denotes the version, distribution, and architecture information):

xsde_<...>.deb               -- XSD/e compiler binary
xsde-<...>-rtsrc-unix.tar.gz -- XSD/e runtime source
libxsde_<...>.deb            -- XSD/e runtime binary
libxsde-dev_<...>.deb        -- XSD/e runtime development files

The xsde_<...>.deb package contains the XSD/e compiler binary.

The xsde-<...>-rtsrc-unix.tar.gz package contains the source code for the runtime library, examples, and tests.

You will need to configure and build the XSD/e runtime library (and, optionally, examples/tests) for your target OS and CPU architecture using make. See the INSTALL file inside xsde-<...>-rtsrc-unix.tar.gz for the instructions.

The libxsde_<...>.deb and libxsde-dev_<...>.deb packages contain the runtime library built for the host platform. They can be useful, for example, for testing.
