XML-RPC 1.06.11

XML-RPC is a C library for remote procerure call. It converts the procedure call into XML document, sends it to a remote server using HTTP, and gets back the response as XML.
This library provides a new and modular implementation of XML-RPC for C and C++.
XML-RPC For C and C++ is designed for Unix and is most tested on unix. As far as we know, it works on any reasonably standard unix.
There is also lots of code to make it work on Windows, but the fact is that it probably wont work out-of-the-box on your Windows system. Here is the Windows story.
To build a useful Xmlrpc-c client library, youll need to have at least one HTTP library. Xmlrpc-c knows how to use W3C Libwww (Version 5.3.2 or newer), Curl, and Wininet. The configurator gives you the option of building libraries that use any or all of these, and
defaults to every one you appear to have installed. If you dont appear to have any installed, the configurator causes the build to omit client facilities altogether.
Information about W3C Libwww, including how to get it are at .
For Curl, see .
Wininet comes with Windows, and isnt available for any other platform.
You also need an XML parser/builder library. An old version of Expat is included in the package and used by default, so theres no actual prerequisite here. But if you separately obtain Libxml2, you can configure the build to use that instead. Theres no really pressing reason to do that, though.
In the simplest case, the installation its just a conventional:
./configure
make
make install
Enhancements:
- Build: fix undefined pthread_mutex_t.
- Build: properly recognize Solaris and Netbsd for shared library type purposes.
- Doc: add description of broken curl-config problem.
