Re: [xml] CYGWIN compile problems

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

What I wrote below is a total crap, of course.

I was checking the xmlversion.h, instead of xmlversion.h.in. It seems that
my platform lacks more stages than just the 'make install', such as
'configure'.

xmlversion.h.in has exactly the code you described, and it is wrong in my
opinion, for Cygwin (and everything else that doesn't use MS compiler) needs
the LIBXML_DLL_IMPORT macro to be empty in any case.

It seems it is about time for me to put some effort in generating *.h files
from *.h.in automatically as a part of the build process. This is the only
way to get rid of these problems in the future.

Ciao
Igor
