*/If you're on Linux or if you're on macOS and using Xcode < 11.4, install the libxml2 system library:
# macOS for Xcode 11.3 and earlier
$ brew install libxml2
$ brew link --force libxml2
# Linux (Ubuntu)
$ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
Add the Markup package to your target dependencies in Package.swift:
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "YourProject",
dependencies: [
.package(
url: "https://github.com/SwiftDocOrg/Markup",
from: "0.1.2"
),
]
)Add Markup as a dependency to your target(s):
targets: [
.target(
name: "YourTarget",
dependencies: ["Markup"]),If you're using Markup in an app,
link libxml2 to your target.
Open your Xcode project (.xcodeproj) or workspace (.xcworkspace) file,
select your top-level project entry in the Project Navigator,
and select the target using Markup listed under the Targets heading.
Navigate to the "Build Phases" tab,
expand "Link Binary With Libraries",
and click the + button to add a library.
Enter "libxml2" to the search bar,
select "libxml2.tbd" from the filtered list,
and click the Add button.
