Re: [xml] libxml2 and CW8 on Mac OS X

[Charles Ouimet <libxml analysco com>]

Hello Steve,

thanx for the info.

Switching to CodeWarrior 9 and create a brand-new Mach-O project  
allowed me to use the libxml framework and compile+run testWriter.c  
in a few seconds...

My understanding is a CW project type of "Library" linking with the  
"Macintosh Power PC" linker can't use a framework...

I guess this will get me to move to CW9.

Thanx!
