HOWTO

# libxslt 1.1.43 (2023-11-16)
# ==============
# Slackware 14.0: libxslt 1.1.26
# Slackware 14.1: libxslt 1.1.28
# Slackware 14.2: libxslt 1.1.29
# Slackware 15.0: libxslt 1.1.34

# Prerequisites:
# pkg-config >= 0.9.0
# Perl
# Python
# tar
# libgcrypt (optional)

# If you want python bindings, make sure libxml2 was built with
# --with-python

# If you're replacing a source installed libxslt that was installed under
# /usr/local, cd into it's source and run 'make uninstall' (as root) before
# proceeding here. If you can't for some reason, run this to at least clear
# out the old shared library files and includes:
su
rm -f /usr/local/lib/libexslt.* /usr/local/lib/libxslt.* \
/usr/local/lib/libxsltbreakpoint.*
test -d /usr/local/include/libxslt && rm -r /usr/local/include/libxslt
test -d /usr/local/include/libexslt && rm -r /usr/local/include/libexslt
exit
