Expat missing

[makemeunsee]

Hi, thanks for the interest.

What system are you running? And what libraries have you installed?
I didnt encounter this error, but from the message I'd expect installing expat-devel or equivalent would solve it.

cheers

Hi,
I've tried installing it on 2 windows machines (win 10 and 11) and on a Nobara Linux (just a Fedora distro).
On all of them, I've gotten the Haskell stack from: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/
Then after that, I'm cloning the repo and ran stack build

That's when I get that error. So far it has happened on all of the machines in the same way.

I did try -dev as the error says, but have not tried -devel, will try now.

P.S. expat-devel worked for the Fedora distro (installed with yum)

Great; if you're using WSL or cygwin on Windows (note I havent tried either), it should just be a matter of finding the equivalent to expat-devel and installing it through the package manager.

Hey,

So while the expat-devel worked, I am now stuck on the second step with xelatex. I am trying to generate the pdf, but the resulted doesn't pass. Im getting:

I am generating the cards (seemingly fine). Not sure if the warnings are problematic.

Then I trying to generate the pdfs with xelatex ./test2.tex, but I get:

re-entering the name progresses things further but then I get the following:

Hi,

flashcards.cls can be installed manually but should come from a latex package, provided by your system's package manager.
You should be able to look up which package provides this file and install it.
Cheers
