I have successfully installed version 1.183 of the Validator on Windows 2000 with Visual Studio. Here is a draft of the procedure: Installation on Windows (NT4 or 2000) with IIS and Visual Studio (6 or .NET). - The packages I used were: ActivePERL 5.6.0.623 http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl/ validator.tar.gz (1.183) http://validator.w3.org/ libiconv-1.7.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/ Text-Iconv-1.2.tar.gz http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Text/ HTML-Tagset-3.03.tar.gz http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/HTML/ HTML-Parser-3.26.tar.gz http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/HTML/ sp1_3_4.zip http://www.jclark.com/sp/howtoget.htm - Install ActivePERL. It includes the LWP module. - Use perl -V:make to find the local alias for make (usually nmake with Visual Studio). - You can't build libiconv as a dynamic library; you end up with two different iconv.dll's, which confuses PERL (and anybody who has to maintain the system). This means Text-Iconv must be linked with libc.lib, which exports _errno. To do this you may need to edit config.PM (in PERL\lib): change -MD in ccflags to -ML, delete -MD from optimize, change msvcrt.lib in libs to libc.lib and change libc to libc.lib. - Unpack libiconv to a temporary folder then build and install a static library according to README.win32. - Unpack Text-Iconv to a temporary folder. Add -liconv to LIBS in Makefile.PL. Build and install according to the README. - Unpack HTML-Tagset to a temporary folder. Build and install according to the README. - Unpack HTML-Parser to a temporary folder. Build and install according to the README. - Extract validator.tar.gz to a temporary folder. Ignore the "file already exists" errors. It includes a collection of DTDs and other SGML files to validate against. - Create a folder to publish the Validator from (I used C:\Inetpub\HTMLValidator). Copy the contents of the validator\htdocs folder to it. Copy the validator\httpd\cgi-bin folder to the HTMLValidator folder. You can delete the CVS files and folders. - Extract SP to a temporary folder and copy the files in the bin folder to cgi-bin. - Change the form action in index.html and file-upload.html to "/cgi-bin/check.pl" and rename check to check.pl (does IIS support content negotiation?) - In check.pl modify the following lines: 19-21: my $base_path = 'C:\\Inetpub\\HTMLValidator\\'; 23: my $html_path = $base_path; 31: my $temp = "C:\\Temp\\HTMLValidator.$$"; # @@ Use POSIX/IO::File tmpfiles instead! 35: my $sp = 'C:\\Inetpub\\HTMLValidator\\cgi-bin\\nsgmls'; 36: my $osp = 'C:\\Inetpub\\HTMLValidator\\cgi-bin\\nsgmls'; 43: print " <form method='get' action='/cgi-bin/check.pl'><table class='header'>\n"; - Create a new website called HTMLValidator, with script access and the home directory as above. Make index.html the default page. Browse it. - Happy validating!
