I tried to rebuild my GNUstep distribution with XML support.
I went in to gnustep/core/base
typed
../configure
It echos a long string of text and finaly outputed:
=====================
checking for xml2-config... /mingw/bin/xml2-config
checking for libxml - version >= 2.3.0... no
*** Could not run libxml test program, checking why...
You most likely do not want to build base without XML support.
For instance, MacOS-X compatible property lists require XML.
If you really want to build -base without XML support,
add --disable-xml to the configure arguments.
configure: error: Missing support for XML functionality.
=====================
And here, let me say: "stop, bull.. er.. manure!".
I checked the xml2-config file my self and it says:
=========
--version)
echo 2.4.12
exit 0
;;
=========
so... how come ./configure believes "2.4 < 2.3" ?
