Re: [xml] HOWTO build libxml2 with minGW & pthreads-win32

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

This is correct. But, Mingw and MSC use the same runtime. The binary code 
made by these two compilers is compatible in most cases, but not in all. 
Pthreads-win32 maintainer offers different binaries for usage with MS and 
GNU compiler, so that seems to be one of these problematic cases.

More, I myself expirience a trash somewhere in pthreads even if everything 
has been compiled with the same compiler. I'll take a look at this soon.

You are absolutely right that everything should be compiled with the same 
compiler now.

Ciao
