RE: [xml] CYGWIN compile problems

["EXT-Bozeman, Charles H" <charles h bozeman Boeing com>]

Robert,
Thanks for the info, but I have gotten it to work by removing the test for
__CYGWIN__ from xmlversion.h. If I understand correctly, gcc supports
dynamic linking in cygwin but libtool does not. I have also found that the
configure scripts are unaffected by --disable-shared in cygwin. Whether or
not the libraries are built static, dynamic, or both should be a
configuration issue and currently cygwin is forced dynamic (and consequently
does not work for me). There may not be a perfect solution to this problem
but I would prefer that the default configuration would always successfully
build when you type: ./configure; make; make install.

Charles,
    Run setup.exe from cygwin.com, and tick the 'src' box for libxml
there.

If you need the latest and greatest, give me a coupla days and I'll have
updated my patch kit.

Cygwin _does_ support .dll's, but the libtool version needed to support
them is not released (yet).
