RE: [libxml++] Problem compiling libxml++

["Labour, Matthieu (MLPRO SF)" <matthieu_labour ml com>]

Murray,

Thank you for your response. Shame on me. I could have looked at
pkgconfig or even at the configure --help output

Do you know when you guys will release a version of libxml++ without the
glibmm dependency?

Thank you for your help

Matt

This is not the correct way to set CFLAGS. I think you need to use
something like "-I /pathtoheaders"

And "-L /pathtolibs -lnameoflibwithoutthelibatstart"

But that is unlikely to be easy to get right. Really, it would be better
to find out whether you have libxml and glibmm installed (including
their -dev or -devel packages from your distro).

What distro is this exactly?
