28 <p>To use libxml++ in your application, you must tell the compiler where to find the include headers and where to find the libxml++ library. libxml++ provides a pkg-config .pc file to make this easy. For instance, the following command will provide the necessary compiler options:
29 <span class="command"><strong>pkg-config libxml++-3.0 --cflags --libs</strong></span>
31 <p>When using autoconf and automake, this is even easier with the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro in your configure.ac file. For instance:
33 <pre class="programlisting">
34 PKG_CHECK_MODULES(SOMEAPP, libxml++-3.0 >= 3.0.0)
35 AC_SUBST(SOMEAPP_CFLAGS)
36 AC_SUBST(SOMEAPP_LIBS)
