Re: [xml] Creating DLL from libxml2 source

["Agarwal, Saumya" <Saumya Agarwal netapp com>]

Hi Rob,

I am compiling the libxml source. I have built a static library out of
the same source - libxml.lib. Now I want to build a DLL. While building
the DLL, I am getting the link errors as mentioned.

Thanks,
Saumya

What exactly are you compiling?

First off, using the current build system, it doesn't appear that trio
is built under windows, so you are probably the only one trying that
right now.
Secondly, strio.h hasn't existed in libxml2 since 2002, so now really
curious what you are using for source.
