[Help] ld.exe cannot find -lxml2

(1/1)

Klafke:
Hello, I have codeblocks 8.02 Mingw running on windows XP sp3 and when I try to compile a source the following error shows up:


--- Code: ---||=== destinyemu, Build ===|
ld.exe||cannot find -lxml2|
||=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===|

--- End code ---

What could I do to fix that error ?


Thanks.

Edit :

Ok, I fixed that error but now shows up this one :


--- Code: ---ld.exe||cannot find -lpthreadGCE2|
||=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===|
--- End code ---


And, I have the pthread library

...but surely not setup the linker directories in the project settings accordingly. You need to tell the linker where the library is.

BTW: I strongly suggest you first try from the command line. It seems you are missing some basics in understanding and setting up a compiler / linker.

AmiCode:
Sorry for resurrecting this old thread.

I have the very same problem, using codeblocks and mingw, trying to use the xmllib2

ld.exe cannot find the -lxml2

Could someone give me an hint?

thank you very much.

Kind regards
