Re: [xml] Using LIBXML2 in Windows environment

["Tony Girgenti" <tony lakesideos com>]

Hello Tom.

Thanks for your help.

When I try to build that file in VS 2013, I get this error:

Error   1       error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'libxml/xmlreader.h':
No such file or directory       c:\users\tony\documents\visual studio
2013\projects\win32project1\win32project1\source.cpp    15      1
Win32Project1

What did you do to build it without error?

Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

I am using that same version of libxml2 with Visual Studio 2013 update 3. We
build on Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows 7, but I doubt that the
operating system matters much.

Your command line below would not be enough to build the file. You need to
provide the include path, and provide the link parameters to the libxml2
distribution.

I built your referenced example using a simple Visual Studio win32 project.

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:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
