Error compiling Libxml2 in codeblocks on ubuntu

Question

I am in the process of porting my windows console application to Linux (Ubuntu 12.04). I am using the GNU GCC compiler to compile my application. However I can't seem to get rid of some errors, this code does function in windows with libxml2 but can't compile here.

In my build options I have included to search the path usr/include/libxml2. When I compile i still recieve the error:

    Datadictionary.c|| undefined reference to `xmlCheckVersion'|
    Datadictionary.c|| undefined reference to `xmlStrcmp'|
    Datadictionary.c|| undefined reference to `xmlGetProp'|    
    Datadictionary.c|| undefined reference to `xmlReadFile'|

Now i have looked anywhere but could not find a solution.

Please help.

You need to install

sudo apt-get install libxml2
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev
sudo apt-get install xml-core

Then you need to set compliler option -I/usr/include/libxml2
and linker option -lxml2 -lm

And use # include<libxml/parser.h> instead #include "libxml/parser.h"

Also you need to clear all previous search path settings
