Xcode cannot find libxml2

[jeffgilbert]

I'm trying to add readium to a Swift project using Xcode 11.3.1. I've added the following two lines to my Podfile

  pod 'R2Navigator', :git => 'https://github.com/readium/r2-navigator-swift.git'
  pod 'R2Streamer', :git => 'https://github.com/readium/r2-streamer-swift.git'

When I build the project I get the following error:

R2Streamer Group
Swift Compiler Error Group
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator13.2.sdk/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/HTMLparser.h:15:10: 'libxml/xmlversion.h' file not found
Could not build Objective-C module 'libxml2'

How can I get the pod for R2Streamer to find the libxml2 header?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi,

You need to add $(SDKROOT)/usr/include/libxml2 to the "Header Search Paths" build setting of your project.

Thanks!

I looked in the Build Settings for the app after installing the two pods and it already includes $(SDKROOT)/usr/include/libxml2.

I checked the Build Settings for the R2Streamer target in the Pods project, and it was missing $(SDKROOT)/usr/include/libxml2. I added it there and it is building. I gather I'll have to re-add that if the pods are ever updated.

Does the Podfile for the R2Streamer pod need to be updated to include that addition to the header search path?

I'm not sure actually, I'm only using Carthage.

@aferditamuriqi should know more about the CocoaPods config.

It looks like this has been fixed in another fork maintained by @aferditamuriqi (and is not an issue when using Carthage to integrate, instead of CocoaPods).

I'll keep this opened for now as we still need to fix the issue in this repo.

[aferditamuriqi]

I’ll be pushing a PR soon for this fix

Thanks Aferdita, there's also this issue about the Podspec if you want to take a look: #93

@mickael-menu I've added my comment to the mentioned issue, there isn't an issue in the Podspec about GCDWebServer.

Okay I see, thanks
