Cannot compile because of :fast_xml

[PhillippOhlandt]

Hey, got some problems installing this adapter.

Here are my deps:

  defp deps do
    [
      {:hedwig, "~> 1.0"},
      {:hedwig_xmpp, "~> 1.0"}
    ]
  end

mix deps.get:

Depending on your OS, make sure to follow these instructions:

    commands "gcc --version" and / or "make --version". If these programs
    are not installed, you will be prompted to install them.

  * Linux: You need to have gcc and make installed. If you are using
    Ubuntu or any other Debian-based system, install the packages
    "build-essential". Also install "erlang-dev" package if not
    included in your Erlang/OTP version. If you're on Fedora, run
    "dnf group install 'Development Tools'".

make and gcc are properly installed and up to date.

I saw that the fast_xml lib has a Makefile.mix file but references a Makefile in its mix.exs. I fixed the name and rerun mix deps.compile:

I got at least one other person to verify this for me. Anyone else having this problem?

[scrogson]

Hey @PhillippOhlandt, thanks for the report. It's been a bit since I've fired up this code. Let me see if I can get it running again and get out a fix.

[PhillippOhlandt]

@scrogson Hey, the master branch of the :fast_xml repo is already fixed, there is just no release yet. Not sure if it's good to wait for a release or to temporarily require the master branch in this project.

[scrogson]

@PhillippOhlandt for now, you should be able to add fast_xml from git.

{:fast_xml, github: "processone/fast_xml", branch: "master", override: true}

fast_xml is actually a dependency of https://github.com/scrogson/romeo

[PhillippOhlandt]

Yeah, that's what I am doing right now. Others will run into the same problem until there is a proper release, tho.

[scrogson]

Yeah, I will leave this open for guidance.
