I am now compiling libxml2 on windows 8 using mingw32.
I have downloaded from here ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/ and follow the instruction found in the README file. They instruct to configure make using a javascript called configure.js. We can run the script like this:
cscript configure.js compiler=msvc prefix=c:\opt include=c:\opt\include lib=c:\opt\lib debug=yes
I guess there is a super simple and maybe obvious to this question, but how do I set several lib and include folders ? I tried separating with ";" :
cscript configure.js compiler=mingw zlib=yes prefix=C:\cpp\libraries\libxml2 include=C:\cpp\libraries\iconv-1.9.2.win32\include;C:\cpp\libraries\zlib1.2.3\GnuWin32\include lib=C:\cpp\libraries\iconv-1.9.2.win32\lib;C:\cpp\libraries\zlib1.2.3\GnuWin32\lib
but that did not work out. Did not find anything about that in the readme file ...
