I have been trying to parse an xml document by using libxml2, and I am using Dev c++ for compilation. I couldn't figure out how to utilize libxml2/parser.h? I am getting the error
no such file or directory
(I am using windows)

2so your question is not about xml or libxml2 or xyz but "how to compile a file with a c-compiler"? then you should give information about how you invoke which c-compiler and where the c-code is.akira– akira2013-01-02 11:48:48 +00:00Commented Jan 2, 2013 at 11:48

please show us some code (your compile-command f.e. the -I includepath and the line of your #include "libxml\parser.h".Peter Miehle– Peter Miehle2013-01-02 12:21:25 +00:00Commented Jan 2, 2013 at 12:21

The libxml2 bundle normally is not installed into a standard path (under unix f.e. /usr/include), so you have to tell the compiler/IDE where you installed the include and the library (f.e. /home/include). In modern IDEs this can be achieved just by dragging/dropping the library into the project. In other environments you have to adjust your makefile or you system (environment variable) to point the include-path to your libxml2-directorys include path (-I with gcc) and library path (-L). In your IDE you may have a option/project settings to do so.
