I have cross-compiled libxml2 from Debian recently without any issues. I've used Ruben's personal build and compiled zlib, libffi, libiconv and libxml2 in this order. I am not sure whether libffi and libiconv is required by libxml, I needed them for some other stuff. zlib cannot be configured for cross-compilation (or at least I heven't managed that), Makefile.gcc should be used instead for direct compilation. I can attach the whole script for compilation, if it helps. libffi, libiconv and libxml2 can be easily configured with the following: ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 \ --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu \ --prefix=/home/pavel/Programs/local32 It works the same for 64bit Windows with -host=x64_86-w64-mingw32 HTH, Pavel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.
