I've spent hours today trying to fix this. It was working yesterday.

I'm trying to include rapidxml for OS is Win10, Eclipse Mars 2 4.5.2. The particular file I'm trying to include is
#include "rapidxml.hpp"

although the rapid rapidxml folder also contains rapidxml_utils.hpp, rapidxml_print.hpp and rapidxml_iterators.hpp.

The error appearing for all files is[code]javascript: url_insert();
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.6.4/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lrapidxml


I've set up as follows
>> Right click >> Properties >> C/C++ Build >>Settings >> MinGW C++ Linker >> Libraries
Search path (-L) >> C:/MinGW/rapidXML
Libraries (-l) >> rapidxml, rapidxml_utils, rapidxml_print and rapidxml_iterators each as seperate lines

>> Right click >> Properties >> C/C++ Build >>Settings >> GCC C++ Compiler
Include paths (-l) >> C:/MinGW/rapidXML

>> Right click >> Properties >> C/C++ General >> Paths and Symbols >> Library Paths
Add >> C:/MinGW/rapidXML >> Apply to all configs ticked

Anyone able to shoot some ideas this way? Links to caps are attached (only difference is I've changed the \ to a /. No difference)

Anyone able to help?

It seems that your linker does not find the library files.

Including a library needs two steps:
- include the header for compilation (.h .hpp)
- include the library file for linking (.a .so .dll)

You seem to have succeeded step 1 and failed step 2. Find the library files and point the linker search there.

I'm going to hold my hands up and admit utter stupidity here.

Rapidxml consists of .hpp files only and thus can be included as just .hpp in the project folder. There is no need to actually add a path or library to the compiler.

You're not the one who is stupid here - the whole code is in the header files. This is contrary to the common practice.

Just delete the library search path, and you should be done.
