Here is what I do to build libxml2-2.7.8: (I use Visual Studio 2008 SP1, and I build zlib before building libxml2.)
cd <PATH_TO_ EXTRACTED_libxml2-2.7.8> set CUR_DIR=%cd% set PLAT=win64 call "%VS90COMNTOOLS%\..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64 set XML_DIR=%CUR_DIR%\..\install\%PLAT% set PATH=%XML_DIR%\bin;%PATH% set INC_DIR=%XML_DIR%\include set LIB_DIR=%XML_DIR%\lib set BIN_DIR=%XML_DIR%\bin set DBG=no cd CUR_DIR\win32 cscript configure.js compiler=msvc prefix=%XML_DIR% incdir=%INC_DIR% include=%INC_DIR%\zlib libdir=%LIB_DIR% sodir=%LIB_DIR% lib=%LIB_DIR% bindir=%BIN_DIR% zlib=yes iconv=no debug=%DBG% vcmanifest=yes nmake -f Makefile.msvc In addition, I changed Makefile.msvc to remove some warnings, make it work with the zlib I wanted, create release .pdb files, and to work better building debug code. (And maybe some other reasons I forgot.) 23a24,33 > XML_DEF = $(XML_BASENAME).def > > !if "$(DEBUG)" == "1" > XML_SO = $(XML_BASENAME)d.dll > XML_IMP = $(XML_BASENAME)d.lib > XML_A = $(XML_BASENAME)_ad.lib > XML_A_PDB = $(XML_BASENAME)_ad.pdb > XML_A_DLL = $(XML_BASENAME)_a_dlld.lib > XML_A_DLL_PDB = $(XML_BASENAME)_a_dlld.pdb > !else 26d35 < XML_DEF = $(XML_BASENAME).def 27a37 > XML_A_PDB = $(XML_BASENAME)_a.pdb 28a39,40 > XML_A_DLL_PDB = $(XML_BASENAME)_a_dll.pdb > !endif 74,76c86,88 < +!if "$(WITH_ICU)" == "1" < +LIBS = $(LIBS) icu.lib < +!endif --- > !if "$(WITH_ICU)" == "1" > LIBS = $(LIBS) icu.lib > !endif 78c90,94 < LIBS = $(LIBS) zdll.lib --- > !if "$(DEBUG)" == "1" > LIBS = $(LIBS) zlibd.lib > !else > LIBS = $(LIBS) zlib.lib > !endif 93,94c109,110 < CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) /D "_DEBUG" /Od /Z7 < LDFLAGS = $(LDFLAGS) /DEBUG --- > CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) /D "_DEBUG" /Od /Zi > LDFLAGS = $(LDFLAGS) /DEBUG /DEFAULTLIB:msvcrtd /NODEFAULTLIB:msvcrt 96,97c112,113 < CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) /D "NDEBUG" /O2 < LDFLAGS = $(LDFLAGS) /OPT:NOWIN98 --- > CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) /D "NDEBUG" /O2 /Zi > LDFLAGS = $(LDFLAGS) /OPT:NOWIN98 /DEBUG 300a317,318 > copy $(XML_INTDIR_A)\$(XML_A_PDB) $(LIBPREFIX) > copy $(XML_INTDIR_A_DLL)\$(XML_A_DLL_PDB) $(LIBPREFIX) 306c324 < install-dist : install-libs --- > install-dist : install-libs 342c360 < $(CC) $(CFLAGS) /D "LIBXML_STATIC" /Fo$(XML_INTDIR_A)\ /c $< --- > $(CC) $(CFLAGS) /D "LIBXML_STATIC" /Fo$(XML_INTDIR_A)\ > /Fd$(XML_INTDIR_A)\$(XML_A_PDB) /c $< 346c364 < $(CC) $(CFLAGS) /D "LIBXML_STATIC" /D "LIBXML_STATIC_FOR_DLL" /Fo$(XML_INTDIR_A_DLL)\ /c $< --- > $(CC) $(CFLAGS) /D "LIBXML_STATIC" /D "LIBXML_STATIC_FOR_DLL" > /Fo$(XML_INTDIR_A_DLL)\ /Fd$(XML_INTDIR_A_DLL)\$(XML_A_DLL_PDB) /c $< Thomas Floodeen, Jr. Mentor Graphics BSD 720.494.1133 -----Original Message----- From: xml-boun...@gnome.org [mailto:xml-boun...@gnome.org] On Behalf Of Michael Eubanks Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 9:41 PM To: xml@gnome.org Subject: [xml] [Fwd: Unable to compile for 64-bit Window 7 machine.] -------- Forwarded Message -------- > From: Michael Eubanks <mse_softw...@charter.net> > To: xml@gnome.org > Subject: [xml] Unable to compile for 64-bit Window 7 machine. > Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 19:15:57 -0700 > > Hello, > > I am trying to compile on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine using either > nmake from the Windows Command Prompt or GCC in a MinGW shell. > Neither method works due to the combination of both forward and back > slashes in the make file.

Is 64-bit support for Windows non-existent? _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
