having issues adding #include <libxml++/libxml++.h>

[Bdanielz]

using xcode in osx 10.8 installed libxml via brew
any suggestions?

I found the file in /usr/include/libxml++-2.6/libxml++/libxml++.h
so you need to compile with the

-I/usr/include/libxml++-2.6

flag.

Or easier, use pkg-config

$ g++ $(pkg-config --cflags libxml++-2.6) -c foo.cpp
$ g++ $(pkg-config --libs libxml++-2.6) foo.o -o program.bin

did you install libxml++ ? what did you use fink/ports/brew or did you just compile your self? I did not see it there, in my /usr/include

I do not use osx, but linux.
Installed with

$ pacman --sync libxml++

> I did not see it there, in my /usr/include
try also /usr/local/include

checkout if you've got a command to list the files of a package.

this might be my issue. going to use a different lib/h.

[Lodger]

If I recall correctly, homebrew installs its libraries and headers into

/usr/local/Cellar/

In there should be a folder called libxml2 and inside it, a

./lib

and

./include

folder. Add them into your include and library search paths respectively and you should be good to go.

Yes!


my $PATH was loading the wrong directory first. so my brew installs were not being seen by xcode. Thank you for your input!
