Adding "${SDK_DIR}/usr/include/libxml2" to Header Search Paths breaks cocoapods

Question

I used this solution to add libxml2.2.dylib to an old project I'm updating.

The imports look like

#import <libxml/HTMLparser.h>

so I'm pretty sure I need to add "${SDK_DIR}/usr/include/libxml2" to Header Search Paths.

Trouble is when I do that I get a linker error because cocoapods blows up.

ld: library not found for -lBolts

When I set Header Search Paths back to default the pods work but the HTMLParser.h file is not found.

I tried changing the import to #import <libxml2/libxml/HTMLParser.h> but there's imports within the library using the libxml and I can't change them.

Any ideas how I can make this work? Thanks!

Answer 1

Add $(inherited) & /usr/include/libxml2 to the HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS and -lxml2 into OTHER_LDFLAGS in the build settings.

#import <libxml/HTMLparser.h>

Hope it will work.
