[xml] " __imp__xmlFree" when cross-compiling libxml2 with mingw on linux

["guido amoruso" <guidonte gmail com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to cross-compile libxml2 on linux (Ubuntu Gutsy) with mingw, without
success. I would be very important to get it working, because I'm trying to get
a full cross-build-chain to compile the gnome stack, in order to use it as a
depolyment platform on Windows also.

Tried to google around, but not found any working solution. Any help
would be very
appreciated!

Configure parameters are:

--enable-static=yes --enable-shared=no --without-threads --without-python
--without-ftp --without-http --without-readline --disable-ipv6

but I get this error (the same with libxml2-2.6.27 and libxml2-2.6.30):
