It also couldn't find libxml headers either but because I thought it was similar to the missing SLP.h I left it out.
I made the changes now to the bitbake conf file like you wrote and it compiles now without having to add the sysroot in my recipe, I have also modified my recipe to pick up libxml also.
DESCRIPTION = "libxmlpcp"
SECTION = "libs"
DEPENDS = "openslp libxml2"
LICENSE = "LGPL"

SRC_URI = "file://libxmlpcp.tar.gz"

EXTRA_OEMAKE = "'CFLAGS=${CFLAGS} -fPIC -c -I${OPIEDIR}${includedir}/libxml2' 'LDFLAGS=${LDFLAGS} -shared -lxml2 -lslp'"

do_install() {
      install -d ${D}${libdir}
      install -d ${D}${includedir}
      oe_runmake 'INSTALLHEADERDIR=${D}${includedir}' 'INSTALLLIBDIR=${D}${libdir}' \
      install
}

But when build is done I can not find the lib in the actual rootfs, looking at the date the rootfs is being regenerated.

The lib file exists in the build tree on the following places:
tmp/work/armv7a-poky-linux-gnueabi/libxmlpcp-0.1.0-r0/image/usr/lib
tmp/sysroots/armv7a-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib
libxmlpcp-dbg_0.1.0-r0_armv7a.ipk and libxmlpcp-dev_0.1.0-r0_armv7a.ipk in the tmp/deploy/ipk/armv7a folder.

I only get a "strip" error, can this be the reason it isn't included in the rootfs?
ERROR: runstrip: ''arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-strip' --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note --strip-unneeded '/home/gerard/green-3.3/build/tmp/work/armv7a-poky-linux-gnueabi/libxmlpcp-0.1.0-r0/package/usr/lib/libxmlpcp.so'' strip command failed

Because I didn't get soup out of it I installed the laverne release also.
If I build my package with that it also gives the strip error but at the end this gives the error that the do_rootfs failed because it couldn't find the package libxmlpcp.
So I assume this is also the problem in green why my package isn't included in the rootfs only that build doesn't give the error.

I have runned my build with -DDDvv but can't figure out where it searches for my libxmlpcp package.

Gerard
