Building problems with libxml

[sjoerd222]

Hi

I got probelms building your sourcecode, the libxml/parser.h and other libxml header files are not found. I installed libxml-devel 1.8 and libxml2-devel 2.6.31.
I don't know what's wrong. Any suggestions? what could be wrong?

Are there compilerflags needed?

thx

You don't need libxml-devel 1.8, but the libxml2-devel 2.6.31 should be enough I guess. Which operating system are you on? Can you find the header files yourself? Where are they located?

Usually you don't need compiler flags, since configure should figure those out for you.

What command are you using to compile?

[sjoerd222]

g++ `sdl-config --libs` `sdl-config --cflags` -lGL -lGLU -lSDL -lSDL_image -lpthread -g -o prog main.cpp

[Jaxad0127]

Add this to the options:

Code: Select all

`pkg-config --libs libxml-2.0`

Is there a reason why you're not using the makefile?

[sjoerd222]

g++ `sdl-config --libs` `sdl-config --cflags` -lGL -lGLU -lSDL -lSDL_image -lpthread `pkg-config --libs libxml-2.0` -g -o prog main.cpp
main.cpp:36:27: Error: libxml/parser.h: file or folder not found

I use a another symplified makefile for some reasons. I just want to know how to let the compiler find the libxml for now.

What does "pkg-config --libs libxml-2.0" output in the terminal? It should be something like this:

Code: Select all

-llibxml2/libxml

[sjoerd222]

$ pkg-config --libs libxml-2.0
-lxml2

[Bjørn]

You also need the flags, like "pkg-config --libs --cflags libxml-2.0":

Code: Select all

tlindeij@horst-dieter:~$ pkg-config --libs --cflags libxml-2.0
-I/usr/include/libxml2  -lxml2

Though usually you would compile and link in separate steps.

[sjoerd222]

yeah, thx.
Now the header files are found
