Re: [xml] Building libxml2 with static iconv.lib on windows

[john blair <mailtome200420032002 yahoo com>]

After I configured libxml2 to use static iconv library, I built:
nmake /f Makefile.msvc libxmla
Now I tired to compile an example program which used libxml.lib, but again I ended up getting :

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__libiconv referenced in function _xmlIconvWrapper
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__libiconv_close referenced in function _xmlCharEncCloseFunc
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__libiconv_open referenced in function _xmlFindCharEncodingHandler

The __imp__ prefix means that it is still looking for iconv.dll
Can someone tell me how to build libxml2.lib with static iconv.lib?
