Re: [xml] Using LIBXML2 in Windows environment

["Tony Girgenti" <tony lakesideos com>]

Hello Eric.

Thanks for your help.

I am not using MinGW or Cygwin.  I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.

> From what you pointed out in the readme.txt file, I will not be using this
version of LIBXML2.

I did try LIBXML2 from "libxml2-2.7.8.win32.zip" and have other unresolvable
issues.

I guess this package does not work in windows.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

You don't indicate what toolset you are using (Visual Studio? MinGW?), but
in any case, I would suggest looking at win32\Readme.txt. Unless you're
using Cygwin (or something similar), libxml2 compilation on Windows doesn't
work quite the same way as on Unix.

| Hello,
| 
| 
| 
| I am trying to use libxml2 in a Windows 7 ultimate or Windows 8.1 
| exvironment.
| 
| 
| 
| I have downloaded "libxml2-2.9.1-win32-x86" and extracted it onto my 
| system.
| 
| 
| 
| I have tried using the instructions here:
| C:\libxml2-2.9.1-win32-x86\share\doc\libxml2-2.9.1\html\FAQ.html to 
| get started using it.
| 
| 
| 
| I used the command "xml2-config -cflags" on the Windows 7 system 
| command prompt and it just hangs up with no error or prompt back.
| 
| 
| 
| If I use that command on a Windows 8.1 computer, I get this message:
| 
| 
| 
| 
| 
| 
| 
| 
| 
| I also tried this version on the Windows 8.1 computer:
| "libxml2-2.9.1-win32-x86_64"
| 
| 
| 
| Does anybody know how to use this package in a Windows environment?
| 
| 
| 
| Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
| 
| 
| 
| Thanks,
| 
| Tony
