Hello

Sablopas 0.6 is now available. Sablopas is an Object Pascal Wrapper for Sablotron and can be compiled by Borland compilers and Free Pascal under Windows and Linux.

This is a major release with a lot of new features. I now provides extension for SAX (written by Jeff Rafter), for XPath and my wrapper for Curl, Op-Curl. By using OP-Curl, the user is able to use several protocols and to perform XSLT process on network documents. Op-Curl is simpler and has less functions than CurlPas. Op-Curl was designed to work with Sablopas.

I wrote two how-to to explain how to use Sablopas with Op-Curl and how-to trigger queries on dom trees built with Open XML. Read me and generic how-to are also available.

I have a problem with my Linux station and some changes have not been tested under Kylix or Free Pascal. If someone can quickly test Sablopas under Linux and report results it would be nice. Contributors, translators and doc writers are welcome.

Enjoy Open Source software :-)

I have a problem with my Linux station and some changes have not been tested under Kylix or Free Pascal.

Building on FreeBSD
-------------------

Linking to sabotron assumes specifically GNU extensies in the libc, not merely standards compliant libc.

Add
{$ifdef BSD}
 {$LINKLIB m}
 {$LINKLIB iconv}
{$endif}

Below every occurance of {$LINKLIB sablotron}

Results on FreeBSD:
---------------------

sablocurl doesn't do anything. It seems to try to FTP anonymously to localhost !??!

su-2.05a# ./sablopas demo.xsl input.xml blaat.html /

I'm happy someone built it under FreeBsd. Does Sablopas works well ? An OP-Curl alone ?

I will add your code to the new release.

Yes. I forgot to add the fact that the documents in the demo directory must be copied to an ftp server and the developper must change the URL and the login/password in the code. I was writing a complete console demo with paramaters when my Linux station crashed due to X. So I release as is without fine testing the SabloCurl demo. Feel free to provide changed code. I will add this to the how-to on my web site.

Thanks for report.

None actually do something. See the actual output of sablopas in the last msg.

Ok. The FreeBSD port is quite simple. If your Linux port is principally sound, it is only some minor changes.

I see it load demo.xml, but after that nothing happens. It tries to access something on filedescriptor 4 after that, but gets access denies as answer.
