[Help] ld.exe cannot find -lxml2

[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 Select Expand

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


What could I do to fix that error ?


Thanks.

Edit :

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

Code Select Expand

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


And, I have the pthread library

Code Select Expand

ld.exe||cannot find -lpthreadGCE2|
[...]
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.

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
