Will not compile with current version of Mini-XML

[eschuler21]

I read through all the other issues and comments, and got it to compile with Mini-XML ver 2.9. With the current version of Mini-XML (2.12), I was getting the following error:

gcc -Wall -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DVERSION=\"1.1.1beta\" -DBUILDDATE=\"2019-01-12\" -c -o configuration.o configuration.c configuration.c: In function ‘search_xml_tree’: configuration.c:70:11: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘mxml_node_t {aka struct _mxml_node_s}’ if (node->type != type) { ^~ configuration.c: In function ‘xml_whitespace_cb’: configuration.c:85:39: warning: ‘~’ on a boolean expression [-Wbool-operation] } else if ( !strcmp(name,"Zone") || ~!strcmp(name,"Partition") ) { ^ configuration.c:85:39: note: did you mean to use logical not? } else if ( !strcmp(name,"Zone") || ~!strcmp(name,"Partition") ) { ^ !

Have you managed to solve this issue?

I tried to compile on an arm system with ubuntu linux, but I found two issues:

1) config/config.guess file does not recognize my system. Workaround: replace config/config.guess with /usr/share/automake-1.xx/config.guess

2) you're same error. How did you solve it?

user@hostname:~/nx/nxgipd$ make

      |                                       !
make: *** [<builtin>: configuration.o] Error 1

update: I re-read your post, then I saw the issue is related with Mini-XML version

https://www.msweet.org/mxml/
Note: Version 3.0 hides the definition of the mxml_node_t structure, requiring the use of the various accessor functions that were introduced in version 2.0.

-> Solution:
1.- Download https://github.com/michaelrsweet/mxml/releases/download/release-2.9/mxml-2.9.tar.gz
2.- Compile and install (./configure ./make ./make install)

There is now fix for Mini-XML v3.x checked in: 5123887c520010ee9716d7ffc06a88e071447c80

It would be great if someone could validate that it works ok, since I can't immediately test this change.
