I won't be taking side on how best build on Windows as I have no clue about it. > In any case, I'll keep the bakefile updated and in the same location > (http://www.geocities.com/f18m_cpp217828/prog/libxml2_win32.zip); paphio:~ -> unzip -l libxml2_win32.zip Archive: libxml2_win32.zip Length Date Time Name -------- ---- ---- ---- 399 01-19-05 10:01 build/Bakefiles.bkgen 27571 01-19-05 10:38 build/libxml2.bkl 20085 01-19-05 10:27 build/libxml2.dsp 3420 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2.dsw 20115 01-19-05 10:39 build/libxml2_libxml2.dsp 15412 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_testAutomata.dsp 15100 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_testC14N.dsp 15100 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_testHTML.dsp 15256 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_testReader.dsp 15256 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_testRegexp.dsp 15178 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_testRelax.dsp 15022 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_testSax.dsp 15334 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_testSchemas.dsp 15022 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_testURI.dsp 15178 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_testXPath.dsp 15022 01-19-05 10:28 build/libxml2_xmllint.dsp 21700 01-19-05 10:20 build/makefile.bcc 15586 01-19-05 10:20 build/makefile.gcc 19710 01-19-05 10:20 build/makefile.vc 22089 01-19-05 10:20 build/makefile.wat 0 01-19-05 10:50 build/ -------- ------- 317555 21 files paphio:~ -> How much of it is the source, how much of it is generated. It seems reasonable to me to add a maintain the bakefile source to the archive, associated with a README explaining how to use this alternate mechanism, and then anybody willing to use that instead of whatever the default build is should be able to follow the guideline and use the bakefile. However: - adding the .zip file to the distribution does not make sense to me - nor adding all the generated makefiles so if you indicate clearly what the source is, provide a README and indicate willingness to provide updates, I will add them in a bakefile subdirectory of the sources.
