cmake finds libxml2 but still says its missing

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I try to compile my software like

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../../toolchain.cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=off ../..

> cat ../../toolchain.cmake
SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Hazelhen)
SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER       cc)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER     CC)
SET(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER ftn)

which gives me the error:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:148 (message):
  Could NOT find LibXml2 (missing: LIBXML2_LIBRARIES) (found version "2.9.4")
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:388 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindLibXml2.cmake:69 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
  CMakeLists.txt:73 (find_package)


I am a bit puzzled, because it says it found libxml 2.9.4, but then again does not set the $LIBXML2_LIBRARIES.

Usage is

find_package(LibXml2 REQlesUIRED)
include_directories(${LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR})

and later

target_link_libraries(foobar PUBLIC ${LIBXML2_LIBRARIES})

cmake version 3.5.2

Thanks!
Florian

It can determine the version, e.g. because it can ask pkg-config or
finds the header, but it does not find the library to link to.

Ok, is there any way to get more information on that? CMakeOutput.log contains no reference at all to "xml".

The library files are there:

> ls /usr/lib/libxml*
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2  /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.9.4

>> I am a bit puzzled, because it says it found libxml 2.9.4, but then

Haha, not really. Obviously was typing in the wrong window, in the file it's REQUIRED, of course.

So they are indeed not. The module is looking for libxml2.so, which
usually comes with the -dev or -devel package.
