Re: [xml] libxml2 linker errors in Visual Studio 2010

[Alec Taylor <alec taylor6 gmail com>]

Thanks Bjoern, but I still can't figure out how to link it properly.

I'm just trying to compile the example program:

#include <libxml/xmlreader.h>

void processNode(xmlTextReaderPtr reader) {
    /* handling of a node in the tree */
}

int streamFile(char *filename) {
    xmlTextReaderPtr reader;
    int ret;

    reader = xmlNewTextReaderFilename(filename);
    if (reader != NULL) {
        ret = xmlTextReaderRead(reader);
        while (ret == 1) {
            processNode(reader);
            ret = xmlTextReaderRead(reader);
        }
        xmlFreeTextReader(reader);
        if (ret != 0) {
            printf("%s : failed to parse\n", filename);
        }
    } else {
        printf("Unable to open %s\n", filename);
    }
}

My linker additional dependencies are:
kernel32.lib;user32.lib;gdi32.lib;winspool.lib;comdlg32.lib;advapi32.lib;shell32.lib;ole32.lib;oleaut32.lib;uuid.lib;odbc32.lib;odbccp32.lib;C:\libraries\LibXML2\lib\iconv.lib;C:\libraries\LibXML2\lib\iconv_a.lib;C:\libraries\LibXML2\lib\libxml2.lib;C:\libraries\LibXML2\lib\libxml2_a.lib;C:\libraries\LibXML2\lib\libxml2_a_dll.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)

Please tell me how to get this working.

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor
