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: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/AxKit.ppd 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. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Laco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 06 February 2003 21:31 To: 'Adam Griffiths'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: AxKit on Cygwin > -----Original Message----- > From: Adam Griffiths [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 1:55 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: AxKit on Cygwin > > > Hi, > Has anyone on this list managed to run AxKit with Cygwin (for > the libxml > libraries).

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. -=Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
