This section describes how to install and get started.

Prerequisites

XeuMeuLeu does not require more than downloading and extracting the latest available archive.

Apache Xerces and (optionally) Apache Xalan might however require some compilation, although binary distributions are directly available for download for the most common platforms.
Refer to their respective documentation for instructions on how to proceed :

• Installing Apache Xerces-C++
• Installing Apache Xalan-C++

Note that if you plan to use only the XML subset of XeuMeuLeu then only Apache Xerces is needed.

XeuMeuLeu requires the following versions of those libraries :

• Apache Xerces-C++ 2.7.0 or 2.8.0
• Apache Xalan-C++ 1.10

Procedure

1. download Apache Xerces
2. extract the archive to a location further referenced as xerces_path
3. download XeuMeuLeu
4. extract the archive to a location further referenced as xeumeuleu_path
5. add xeumeuleu_path/src/libraries to include path
6. add xerces_path to include path
7. use #include <xeumeuleu/xml.hpp>
8. optionally define XML_LIBRARY to use xerces static or deploy application with xerces DLL
9. optionally link against xerces lib
10. optionally do all the same with Apache Xalan
