Re: [xml] Help Required

Thanks Tim,

I think what I will do is start with a clean slate and take into account
what Coleman said. Just add the libraries in the Object/Library modules
area and call the functions as normal. However there was also mention to
place the dll related files in the exe directory from where the
application runs. 

I am going to give this a try and if unsuccessful then I will place the
lib files in the include area as suggested by yourself.

I will come back to everyone on this issue.

Thanks for the input.

Regards

Xen Cloete

Actually in that mail you say:

Adding third party headers explicitly to your project is usually a bad
idea (although it can work). Better to just put them where the compiler
can find them.
The easiest way is to copy them to <VC6 Install Dir>\VC98\INCLUDE (and
put the .lib in <VC6 Install Dir>\VC98\LIB).

It don't think this causes them to be linked in, so this is pretty
pointless.

That looks like the regular set of Windows libs - libxml2.lib (and
iconv.lib) are conspicuously absent, even though you say you have them.
