Prerequisites
 
Java 1.1.x or later
 

If you use Java 1.1.x you must also seperately include the swing classes, which can be found at the Sun website. From Java 1.2 on (aka Java 2) they are part of the standard distribution.


An XML parser
 

An XML parser which supports Sax and DOM like Xerces-J.


The xslt processor Xalan
 

Some of the Java source code in FOP is generated from XML using XSLT. Xalan must be used to generate this code.

Xalan is an XSL stylesheet processor written in java. At the moment you can't use any other processor, because the make file makes use of some proprietary features of Xalan which allow to write output in more then one document. You can find Xalan also at xml.apache.org. You have to use Xalan version 0.19.5 or later.


make
 

Under windows it has been reported that the use of the cygnus solutions port of the GNU utilities works. You can find it at Cygnus Solutions



Compiling FOP on MacOS
 

We strongly recommend the use of Codewarrior Java. You will find a link to more information in the near future.
