Martin, On my home machine with wxWidgets build as individual static libraries using expat included with wxWidgets, wx-config --libs xml yields the following output: -L/mingw/lib -mthreads /mingw/lib/libwx_baseud_xml-2.8.a /mingw/lib/libwx_baseud-2.8.a -lwxregexud-2.8 -lwxexpatd-2.8 -lz -lrpcrt4 -luuid -lodbc32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lwinspool -lwinmm -lshell32 -lcomctl32 -lcomdlg32 -lctl3d32 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32 -lgdi32 It appears that in this case, wx-config is returning the correct expat library to link against. I'll check my machine a work tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I build wxWidgets using the expat library I build separately and see if it includes -lexpat instead of -lwxexpatd-2.8.
