Hey,
I want to use libxml2 in my Legato Applications running on my WP85, but i am unable to get it working.
I am writing my Code in VSCode using a WSL for Ubuntu. I installed the libxml2 and libxml2-dev package on Ubuntu.
I am not sure how to properly Include the library in VSCode so that it recognizes the functions and headerfiles. I also tried different using different options in the .cdef/.adef files. Help would be really appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!
do you find libxml2 in your module?
For example:
find / -name “libxml2*”
On my WP? Yes it is
In the /usr/lib i am able to find libxml2.so.2.9.7
But after including the .h files and using the functions in my app .c file, i always get following error Message after running mkapp:
can you attached your application here?
BTW, here says you need to include xml stuff in cdef file
The Forum won’t let me Upload files so:
xmlTest.c :
// Include the core framework C APIs.
#include “legato.h”

#include “interfaces.h”

you need to zip the project
And when i add xml2 in the requires: lib section It shows me this after running mkapp:
It tells me new Users can’t upload files, i created this acoount a few hours ago ^^
do you have google drive then?
you can put the link here.
Here is it on github:
I tried to compile for my WP76 module, and it works.
I just modify the component.cdef file to contain the following:
cflags:
{
-I/opt/swi/SWI9X07Y_02.28.03.05/sysroots/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/libxml2
}
What did you write in
requires:
{
lib:
}
}
And what does your mkapp command look like?
I if i just write xml under requires: lib: i still get undefined referene errors.
An if i write xml2 it tells me cannot find -lxml2
There is nothing in “requires” library section, I follow your code.
Are you sure your toolchain really containing these .h files?
#include <libxml/parser.h>
#include <libxml/tree.h>
BTW, I used Developer studio to compile:

Im kind sure.
my mkapp command looks like this, maybe theres something wrong with it
mkapp -t wp85 xmlTest.adef -s /home/reinhard/myLeafWorkspace/CL_Agents/Components -i /home/reinhard/.leaf/wp85-toolchain_SWI9X15Y_07.14.01.00-linux64/sysroots/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/libxml2
What do you have in
/home/reinhard/.leaf/wp85-toolchain_SWI9X15Y_07.14.01.00-linux64/sysroots/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/libxml2
I also tried with
/home/reinhard/.leaf/wp85-toolchain_SWI9X15Y_07.14.01.00-linux64/sysroots/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/libxml2/include
I am not 100% sure that i properly installed it
Oh and the 2 .h files definitely are under
/home/reinhard/.leaf/wp85-toolchain_SWI9X15Y_07.14.01.00-linux64/sysroots/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/libxml2/include/libxml
Which is why i include them like <libxm/parser.h>
When running mkapp it seems to recognize the h files but cannot find the references to the functions in the h files hence the “undefined reference to xmlFreeDoc” error
This is my tree.h inside WP76 toolchain
/opt/swi/SWI9X07Y_02.28.03.05/sysroots/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/libxml2/libxml
Do you find xmlFreeDoc in your side for the tree.h?
tree.h (38.5 KB)
I checked the toolchain SWI9X15Y_07140100-wp85-wp750x-native-x86_64-201907181020:
I don’t see anything related to libxml2

I had to make a second account because the forum wouldn’ let me post for another 6 hours cause it’s a new account.
I do find xmlFreeDoc in my tree.h yes.
I tried to add libxml2 to my toolchain, i basically just installed it in the include directory like in " I want to install my own copy of libxml2 in my home directory and link my programs against it, but it doesn’t work" explained in FAQ · Wiki · GNOME / libxml2 · GitLab, and hoped it would work.
Is there a way to proper way to add libxml2 to the toolchain? And if there is can you show me?
Thanks for your help btw, i am new to this kind of stuff and still a bit lost with things like these.
I suspect the libxml2 you add to the toolchain is not an official one.
The official way should be using the libxml2 stuff from yocto recipe.
Here is what I try on WP76 source:
3.add the following line:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " libxml2"
Make the yocto image
the include path now should be in yocto/build_bin/tmp/work/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/libxml2/2.9.7-r0/image/usr/include/libxml2/
in component.cdef, add the following:
cflags:
{
-I/home/owner/Yocto/WP76/R13.3/yocto/build_bin/tmp/work/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/libxml2/2.9.7-r0/image/usr/include/libxml2/
}
