Cross-compiling the python bindings is a bit difficult today, as the configure script will figure out the site packages dir (PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES) by either: - Generating the path to the site-package target directories using libdir, and see if it exists. As it is not possible to point to the full path of the sysroot, since that will yield the wrong install path, and that the directory does not neccessarily exist on the host, this approach will not work. - Fetch the site packages dir from the python interpreter as pointed to by --with-python. Since this python interpreter will point to the sysroot, the install dir generated will be inside the sysroot and thus not work. This patch approaches the problem by adding the possibility of explicitly stating the install dir of the python packages, leaving it up to the cross-compilation environment to specify it. The patch does not affect the default case (non-cross compilation). Signed-off-by: Jonas Eriksson <jonas.eriksson@enea.com>

To build on an Unixised setup:
./configure ; make ; make install
To build on Windows:
see instructions on win32/Readme.txt
To assert build quality:
on an Unixised setup:
run make tests
otherwise:
There is 3 standalone tools runtest.c runsuite.c testapi.c, which
should compile as part of the build or as any application would.
Launch them from this directory to get results, runtest checks
the proper functionning of libxml2 main APIs while testapi does
a full coverage check. Report failures to the list.
To report bugs, follow the instructions at:
