Re: [xml] can't figure out how to build native Windows 'iconv'

Hi,

   Would you settle for already built Windows 64-bit binaries of Libxml2? If so, the Gnome project has them 
available on their ftp server (I was in the same boat as you, and decided to cast about with Google to see if 
someone else had already built them, since I didn't want to bother).

or

Subject: [xml] can't figure out how to build native Windows 'iconv'

Hello,

Searched for nearly an hour and dug in the release tree and I can't find any clear information on how to 
compile GNU 'libiconv' natively under Windows with Visual Studio 2008 and/or 2010.  Would like to build a 
native 'libxml2' that includes 'iconv', so this appears to be a prerequisite.  Need 64-bit.

Have no reservations about using CYGWIN for building so long as the 'cl' compiler is used and no CYGWIN 
dependencies are present in the DLLs.

'nmake' is fine as well as is a VS project, though I dislike the using the IDE for anything other than 
debugging if it can be avoided.

Any help, links, etc. would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David
