Re: [xml] libxml2 compiling problems in windows

[Igor Zlatkovic <igor stud fh-frankfurt de>]

Sergi, you have sent me five emails on this subject in a single day. I
understand your furstration, I was a novice sometime in the past and I
wanted to know everything at once, without reading a single line from the
manual. It took time, but I eventually figured out that things mostly don't
tick that way. Now it is your turn. If you would learn from your elder's
mistakes or repeat them yourself is the choice you must make alone.

Here is a set of command line options you might want to consider for your
test program:

  C:\home\igor> cl /I.\include test.c /link /libpath:.\lib libxml2.lib
  test.c
  /out:test.exe
  /libpath:.\lib
  libxml2.lib
  test.obj

  C:\home\igor> dir *.exe
   Volume in drive C is System
   Volume Serial Number is E84D-F6C5

   Directory of C:\home\igor

  02.01.2002  20:09            36.864 test.exe
                 1 File(s)         36.864 bytes
                 0 Dir(s)     554.854.400 bytes free

If you now type the above into your command window blindly, without risking
a second glimpse at it, you have chosen the hard way.

May The Force be with you.
Igor
