Adding libxml2 in XCode

Question

I have added libxml2 to my Xcode 4 project following this guide.

But it's not working. Xcode gives me error saying it no such libxml2 directory. What am I doing wrong? Here's the screenshots of the target settings of my project:

Thanks.

Answer 1

1. add ${SDKROOT}/usr/include/libxml2 to "Header Search Paths" instead of "User Header Search Paths" under yourtarget -> Build Settings -> Search Paths
2. link with libxml2.dylib in yourtarget -> Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries
3. include libxml2 headers with, for instance, #include <libxml/HTMLparser.h> and you're off

Thats all.

Answer 3

You need to change Always Search User Paths to YES also. That with "${SDK_DIR}/usr/include/libxml2" on your User header search paths should work.

Answer 4

In "Other flags" add -lxml2 And also change the Header to ${SDKROOT}/usr/include/libxml2

Answer 5

${SDKROOT}/usr/include/libxml2
