Cross-compiling from linux to windows about libxml2 HOT 8 CLOSED

I'm not much of an expert around this, but one thing I suspect is that libxml2 was not installed with /usr/include ?

What does pkg-config --libs libxml2 tell you?

from libxml2.

Here is the output:

# pkg-config --libs libxml2
Package libxml2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libxml2' found

I take it you are expecting libxml2 instead of libxml-2.0?

When building with -x

It references /usr/include/libxml2 which I can verify does contain header files

from libxml2.

Oh, now that I think about it, did you install libxml2-dev or libxml2-devel or whatever it is?

from libxml2.

Yes I have, if you have a look at the Dockerfile, I have installed

• pkg-config
• gcc-mingw-w64 for cross-compilation
• libc6, libc6-dev which I believe contains libiconv
• libxml2, libxml2-dev

from libxml2.

Oh, hmm... sorry now I'm stumped. :/

No worries, I figured it's not really an issue with your package (which I have found quite useful, thanks for that!). I will keep digging. Feel free to close this.
