Re: [Tclxml-users] Report of my attempt to install tcldom 2.2 (fwd)

[Larry W. V. <lv...@ca...>]

As a followup to my continued reports of attempting to successfully build
and install the tcldom tcl extension, following the most recent msgs from
list members, I was able to locate a version of libxml2 (version 2.4.23)
... I was not able to locate a tar file with the name "devel" in it, so I
don't know if I am missing something or not.

Anyways, I configured, built and installed that library.

I returned to tcldom 2.2 and configured thusly:
/vol/tclsrcsol/tcl84/tcldom/configure --prefix=/usr/tcl84 --enable-symbols --enable-shared --enable-xml2 --with-xml2=/projects/intranet/lib

and that created a Makefile.

I then typed

make all

and after a while, got this error:

Note that the -I flag for libxml2 is wrong, and the -I flag for Tcl is
missing altogether.


If I edit the src-libxml2/Makefile so that it uses $(INCLUDES)
instead of $(TCL_INCLUDES) - which apparently isn't defined anywhere
and I edit in the directory for the xml2 include directory rather than
the hard coded /usr/local/include prefix, I appear to get a compiled .so
for tcldom's library.
