Re: [xml] Using LIBXML2 in Windows environment

["Tony Girgenti" <tony lakesideos com>]

Eric,

Thanks for your help.

I am using a Windows 8.1, 64bit computer with libxml2 from this file:
libxml2-2.7.8.win32.zip in a command prompt.

I would like to compile this program: http://xmlsoft.org/examples/reader1.c

I have used "cl reader1.c" at the command prompt and I get this output:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
C:\GNU COBOL 2.0\Projects\libxml2>cl reader1.c
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 18.00.30723 for x86

reader1.c

Any help that you can provide to compile this program would be gratefully
appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

Libxml2 works quite well in Windows, and can readily be compiled with Visual
Studio 2013. Can you be more specific about where you are running into
problems? If you want assistance, it would also be useful to know whether
you are attempting to build a 32-bit or 64-bit version.

| 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
