libxml2/libxslt builds out of the box for me. I build from cvs sources. I have not tried building with shared libraries.
You need recent autoconf/automake/libtool though. Canonical site http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ There's a number of libtool ports available: Gerrit P. Haase http://timtowtdi.topcities.com/cygwin/libtool/ Ryan T. Sammartino ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Sammartino_T_Ryan/ Robert Collins http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/robert-collins/contrib/li btool/ Are there any advantages to any of these? Are there any advantages to building libtool from the 1.4.2 source? Will libtool become part of the standard distribution? Are we waiting for autoconf/automake/libtool to become a bit more stable?

It worked. Sorry to reply twice, but I wondered why I never heard of this site, now I know, there you get win32 binaries, I built them as 'native' Cygwin versions. That is a great difference! Cygwin != Windows If I want to have them for Windows, I would be able to run my MSVC and build it, the Windows builds are supported by xmlsoft, there are project files included in the source dist, Cygwin is not supported... Don't mix up the platforms, that is *bad*. Gerrit -- convey Information Systems GmbH http://www.convey.de/ Vitalisstraße 326-328 Gerrit P.
