xpath

Submitted by vri on Fri, 2011-04-08 17:16

In 2.3.1, I get this warning: Warning: xpath not found. Can't read dependencies in manifest.xml file.

It appears to look for an xpath executable. Can you point me to the (linux) app it is looking for?

Thanks in advance, Theo.

In Debian/Ubuntu, it's in:

libxml-xpath-perl

In case you know an alternative tool that can read xml files from the command
line, we could also extend the cmake macro to look for that tool.

Thanks. It is not readily available for Archlinux, but I could have a look at it. What is available is the following: http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/overview.php

Would this also work for you?

Theo.

Yes. I'd prefer that the cmake code has a separate if/else branch for
xmlstarlet then. On debian/ubuntu, it's the xmlstarlet package with the
'xmlstarlet' bin program.
