RE: [xml] Error in Installation

[<Eric Zurcher csiro au>]

Kenneth,

First off, just to be pedantic, it's "libiconv", not "libinconv".

Now to your query: it should certainly be possible to compile and link tree1.c using the Borland toolset. The 
compilation step appears to be OK (you can ignore the warnings); your problem is the link step. I don't quite 
understand your link command of "bcc32 tree1.obj zdllbor.lib". Is "zdllbor.lib" your import library for 
libxml2? If so, how did you generate it? If you used "implib", you should have included the "-a" option to 
generate the underscore name prefixes used by Borland.
