Hi,
I'm (still) trying to get my AxKit on Windows installation right. In brief
has anyone built AxKit on a windows machine and how did they do it?
Specifically how do you tell AxKit where iconv is? I'd really appreciate the
help and would like to get the method straight, I could then add it to the
Wiki.

What was your tweak in the makefiles Chris? My progress so far is:

I've drawn a bit of a blank with cygwin because of some trouble compiling
mod_perl for it. I've had more success with the native windows (Active
State) Perl and Apache thanks to the ppm and this:

However I no need a more recent installation of AxKit than the one in this
ppd. So I'd like to install AxKit by hand, just like I do on my Linux box.
My problem is this:

perl Makefile.PL INC="-IC:\iconv\iconv-1.8.win32\include"
LIBS="-LC:\iconv\iconv-1.8.win32\lib"
....
looking for -lxml2... no
Note (probably harmless): No library found for '-lApacheCore'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for '-lmod_perl'
checking for iconv() in -liconv... No
....
checking for libiconv() in -liconv... no
checking for iconv() in -lc... no
AxKit needs the iconv system library to work properly. This comes by
default with most Unix systems, however it may be that you do not
have the development libraries installed, or possibly that you just
don't have iconv available on your system. For *BSD systems, iconv
is available in your distribution's ports collection. For Win32
systems, a google search will often suffice to find a Win32 library
version.

Just out of curiousity, why under Cygwin?

I've had LibXML, Sablotron,and AxKit running fine under ActiveState PErl on
Windows.
As I recall, it took just a shade of path tweaking in the Makefiles, but no
problems other than that.

I'd have to attemtp it again to remember how I got it working.
