On a standard OS X installation (checked against 10.6/Snow Leo and 10.7/Lion), there is no libxml2 framework, but only a regular shared library in /usr/lib/libxml2.dylib. You should try to link against that lib, not a framework by using “-lxml2” instead of “-framework libxml2”.

Thanks for the info. I’ve read some articles on the Internet that said the same, but since my machine does have /Library/Frameworks/libxml2.framework (see below), I thought this was added in Lion. Seems like I was wrong, maybe it came from some other package I installed.

I edited CMakeLists.txt and changed
set(APIEXTRACTOR_EXTRA_LIBRARIES ${LIBXSLT_LIBRARIES} ${LIBXML2_LIBRARIES})
to
set(APIEXTRACTOR_EXTRA_LIBRARIES ${LIBXSLT_LIBRARIES} “-lxml2”)
and the building succeeded. thanks!

Another question: I’m not familiar with cmake, is there a “better” way of doing this, like specifying some flags in the cmake command? Manually editing CMakeLists.txt doesn’t seem very standard, and would be hard to document if I wish to explain this build flow to someone else.

Thanks.

Below is a snip of the output of cmake:

— Found Qt4: /usr/local/bin/qmake (found suitable version “4.7.4”, required is “4.5.0”)
— Found LibXml2: /Library/Frameworks/libxml2.framework (Required is at least version “2.6.32”)
— checking for module ‘libxslt’
— package ‘libxslt’ not found
— Found LibXslt: /usr/lib/libxslt.dylib (Required is at least version “1.1.19”)
— sphinx-build – not found! doc target disabled

Seems that LibXml2 is found by cmake, but the path is not recognized by the linker? Don’t understand…

Sorry, I’m not familiar with CMake, so I’m of no help here. You might want to ask in one of the CMake users help channels.

OK, will do, thanks.

By the way, after some probing I found my libxml2.framework under /Library/Frameworks seems to be corrupted for some reason. This explains why the linker can’t link it even though cmake “recognizes” the framework.

Thanks for all the info.
