so after further exploring I managed to build libxml on my 32 version of Mingw compiler. However when I attempt to build it on the 64 bit compiler I am still not having any success. Here is what I am doing. The two commands that I am using are as follows. The outputs of these commands are given below.
1) > cscript configure.js threads:no static:yes compiler:mingw iconv:no prefix=c:\\tester include=c:\\tester\\mingw64\ lib=c:\\tester\\mingw64\ debug=yes
1st Step :
admin US01W3044 /c/libxml2-2.6.30/win32
$ cscript configure.js threads:no static:yes compiler:mingw iconv:no prefix=c:\\tester include=c:\\tester\\mingw64\ lib=c:\\tester\\mingw64\ debug=y
