Re: [xml] Help on building libxml2 on Win32 - runtest.exe tests fail

[Xiangrong <goddino gmail com>]

Hi all,

 

After looking through the previous error output of runtest.exe, I realised that most of these errors were due to the installation process not copying two folders required for runtest.exe from C:\DEVEL\libxml2-2.7.6 (source code directory) to C:\opt (installation directory).
These folders are:

1. test
2. result

The folders above were manually copied as required.

 

I executed runtest.exe from C:\opt (as runtest.exe used relative path starting from C:\opt) with the following command:
bin\runtest.exe > libxml2_runtest_log.txt 2>&1

 

There were 10 remaining errors and they all had to do with ebcdic_566012.xml located in:
C:\DEVEL\libxml2-2.7.6\test\ebcdic_566012.xml

 

I’ve attached the output of runtest.exe.

 

I would appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on these remaining errors and how corrections can be made.

Much thanks.

 

Regards,

Xiangrong.

Hi all,

I would really appreciate some help in building libxml2 for Windows 32.

The summary is that I managed to configure, build and install libxml2, but all its tests from runtest.exe failed.

Following are the details.

 

I downloaded the libxml2-2.7.6 source code from ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.7.6.tar.gz.

I extracted and placed the libxml2-2.7.6 folder in C:\DEVEL.

 

Configuration

Using the MSVC 10 command prompt, I navigated to the C:\DEVEL\libxml2-2.7.6\win32 directory and used cscript to configure libxml2.

The command used was:

cscript configure.js compiler=msvc prefix=c:\opt include=c:\opt\include lib=c:\opt\lib debug=yes iconv=no cruntime=/MT

 

Compilation

In the same directory, I compiled libxml2 with the following command:

nmake /f Makefile.msvc

 

Installation

In the same directory, I installed libxml2 with the following command:

nmake /f Makefile.msvc install

 

Testing

After installation, I ran the runtest.exe from C:\opt\bin, and it seemed all the tests failed.

I’ve attached the output of runtest.exe.

 

System

The system I’m building libxml2 on is:

Windows XP Professional

Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.100216-1514 : Service Pack 3)

 

Requirements for my libxml2 installation:

I must be able to use it in MSVC++ 10 Express on my system.

All tests in libxml2 runtest.exe must pass.

 

I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me on what went wrong and how corrections can be made.

Much thanks.

 

Regards,

Xiangrong.
