Rob,

 

   Thanks for the quick reply. After applying the patch, do I need to re-run the configure.js file, or just run nmake?

Hello,

 

    I tried to follow the instructions in libxml2-2.7.8\win32 to build libxml2 for Win32, using Visual Studio 2008.

 

I configured with the command

 

cscript configure.js compiler=msvc cruntime=MDd include=..\..\iconv-1.9.2.win32\include lib=..\..\iconv-1.9.2.win32\lib

 

I then run

 

Nmake /f Makefile.msvc

 

And get an error:

 

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

Stop.

 

Anyone know how I might resolve this error? I’m thinking that, perhaps, this is either a bug in the configure.js script creating an invalid makefile, or perhaps this is just a case where the generated makefile is for an older version of Visual Studio, and is not compatible with VS 2008?

 

 

Add this patch to fix the mvc makefile:
