Cannot build on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I've tried this one two laptops. I was able to compile this using the AUR on Antergos a while back ago.

I get the same build error. Any news?

Actually, my error is a bit different:

A working solution with the help from the guys at linux-magazine.it: for 64-bit computers, change line 4 in the makefile from 32 to 64. Then compile.

brian

[The Xj]

No. When you change line 4 to 64 you will only build fsthost64, but without fsthost32. Standard makefile is trying to build both fsthost32 and fsthost64. If you want build only fsthost64 then type "make PLAT=64".

[Kristijan Pleško]

I am getting the same error.

/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmacros.h:232:53: error: size of array ‘_GStaticAssertCompileTimeAssertion_0’ is negative

What is the solution?

[The Xj]

You need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable when build 32bit version.
On arch you can use my official AUR package.
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=fsthost

On which distribution you compile it ?
