[xml] Does the latest libxml2 v2.7.8 compile for x64 version on windows?

["Pei, Mingliang" <mpei verisign com>]

I need to get both 32- and 64-bit builds on windows for the latest libxml2 version. First, I tried to build 32-bit with the instructions laid out in

 

http://www.devcomments.com/Libxml2-with-Visual-Studio-2005-at76623.htm

 

but it failed with error on nmake step:

 

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.42
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

 

Makefile.msvc(465) : fatal error U1020: end-of-file found before next directive
Stop.

 

However, I am able to use the same procedure to build libxml2 v2.7.6. So I suspect some additional steps needed to build 2.7.8 (ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-sources-2.7.8.tar.gz).

 

Anyone got success experience in windows for the latest build with VS 2005? Any tips on get 32-bit build first, and then 64-bit?

 

Thanks,
