Re: [xml] Problem with MSYS and MINGW: undefined reference to _imp__xmlFree

[Friedrich Beckmann <friedrich beckmann gmx de>]

Hi Roumen,

i searched the mingw wiki and they say that the import
libraries are not compatible between MSVC and MINGW.
I described it in the bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561340
There are ways to convert between the two, so I guess it
would be very good if the mingw import library could be
added to the package in the future. I you look for example
at the glib package, they do it like that.

Regards

Friedrich
