Re: [R-SIG-Mac] XML packages source compilation on macOS 10.15.7

Simon and Duncan, I had not had time to dig deeper into this issue but recently made the transition to “Big Sur”. With that and "$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools” followed by "$ xcode-select --install” the compilation is successful now. I have no idea why libxml2 should not whe

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] XML packages source compilation on macOS 10.15.7

Kemal, it looks like you're completely missing the libxml2 includes on that system. XML prefers xml2-config over pkg-config so it will by default pick the system version of xml2, but you don't have the includes for that. According to your setup, they are supposed to be in /Library/Developer/Com

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] XML packages source compilation on macOS 10.15.7

Sorry, forgot the config.log. Also, I use Apple compilers (Xcode 12.3 at that time) and the GNU Fortran compiler 8.2 as recommended under “Mandatory tools” on https://cran.r-project.org.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] XML packages source compilation on macOS 10.15.7

Kemal, what Duncan said, since what you provided does not include any of the information needed. In addition, you should not include SDK paths directly - SDK is used by the dev tools and does *not* include the actual libraries. So when you say /foo/bar it is actually searched inside the SDK th

Hi Kemal Can you please send the output from the entire installation attempt, and also the config.log file. Thanks Duncan On Mon, Feb 15, 2021 at 5:14 AM Kemal Akat wrote: > Hello all, > > I have to compile the XML package from source for R 4.1 (development > version) on a Mac with OS version

[R-SIG-Mac] XML packages source compilation on macOS 10.15.7

Hello all, I have to compile the XML package from source for R 4.1 (development version) on a Mac with OS version 10.15.7. It works well on all machines that do not come with any significant ballast on developer tools. One machine, however, that I have used for some time returns a mismatch of h
