Hello, On a first computer, when I compile a C program using the libxml2 library I do : $ gcc `xml2-config --cflags` `xml2-config --libs` main.c or $ gcc main.c `xml2-config --cflags` `xml2-config --libs` And it works (but the first method is better because it respects the order of arguments in the gcc manual).
On a second computer, if I compile like this, there is an error : $ gcc `xml2-config --cflags` `xml2-config --libs` main.c /tmp/cc7uNwed.o: In function `parseDoc': main.c:(.text+0xd): undefined reference to `xmlParseFile' main.c:(.text+0x51): undefined reference to `xmlCleanupParser' main.c:(.text+0x63): undefined reference to `xmlFreeDoc' main.c:(.text+0x68): undefined reference to `xmlCleanupParser' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status But if I compile like this, there is no error : $ gcc main.c `xml2-config --cflags` `xml2-config --libs` I thought this was a gcc problem but someone on the gcc mailing-list tell me that probably I have compiled libxml2 on the second computer "statically". And I should compile it "dynamically". It's true that on the second computer, I have compiled myself the library (configure, make, make install). On the first computer, this is my distro package. How should I compile libxml2 on the 2nd computer to have the same behavior on the two computers? Thank you. _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
