Do we use libxml2? (Trac #412) #546
Description
During the Sphinx doc build for Windows (using Anaconda) the following
error is thrown:
!RuntimeError: Could not find libxml2 on the system
Anaconda uses the lxml Pythonic binding to libxml2 (& libxslt). But
this error is being thrown by \sasview\setup_mac.py!
The doc build continues nonetheless.
This raises two questions:
- Is libxml2 still needed (on any platform)?
- If libxml2 is only needed on Mac, why is a doc build on Windows
flagging it as an error?
