XMLLINT not set and xmllint not found in path; skipping xml preprocessing

Question

I'm trying to run the following command while writting in C++ with gtkmm-3.0 by following an example:

glib-compile-resources --target=resources.c --generate-source exampleapp.gresource.xml

I couldn't find what's missing for this to work. I'm running on Ubuntu 17.10

Answer 1

This is due to the lack of the XML processing utilities package on your operating system. You can install the libxml2-utils package by running the following command in your terminal :

sudo apt install libxml2-utils
