Description Thomas Fitzsimmons 2004-12-15 17:06:07 UTC 
Building CVS HEAD fails with this error:

[...]
libxml2 python bindings not available, skipping testapi.c generation
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I./include -I./include  -D_REENTRANT      -g

then mv -f ".deps/testapi.Tpo" ".deps/testapi.Po"; else rm -f
".deps/testapi.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
gcc: testapi.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
make[2]: *** [testapi.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/notnfs/fitzsim/gcj-jhbuild/sources/libxml2'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/notnfs/fitzsim/gcj-jhbuild/sources/libxml2'
make: *** [all] Error 2

gentest.py fails because it can't load the libxml2 python bindings, so an
attempt to compile testapi.c fails.
Comment 1 Daniel Veillard 2004-12-22 21:43:09 UTC 
libxml2-python is missing. We should make sure testapi.c which comes from
the distribution/CVS is not removed. Maybe not regenerate automatically.

Comment 2 Daniel Veillard 2005-01-25 23:35:12 UTC 
Okay I have tried to fix this, the normal build don't attempt to regenerate
the testapi.c which comes from the distribution. This should fix this bug,

  thanks,

Daniel
Comment 3 Daniel Veillard 2005-09-05 08:59:51 UTC 
This should be closed by release of libxml2-2.6.21,

  thanks,

Daniel
