Re: [xml] Building libxml2 with static iconv.lib on windows

Thanks for the reply Martin.
I was able to build libxml2. The problem is I think it gets linked with iconv.dll instead of the static 
iconv.lib. The sample program (http://xmlsoft.org/examples/index.html#testWriter.c) when built gives the 
__imp__ errors related to iconv. 
I am using visual studio 2005, libxml2-2.6.30, and iconv-1.9.2
