Description Steve Hay 2003-10-21 13:16:52 UTC 
I configured the build as usual with:

cscript configure.js prefix=C:\libxml2 zlib=1

but when I run "nmake" I get:

../include/libxml/xmlversion.h(127) : error C2018: unknown character '0x40'
../include/libxml/xmlversion.h(127) : error C2018: unknown character '0x40'

The offending section of that header file is:

#if @WITH_WRITER@
#define LIBXML_WRITER_ENABLED
#endif

If I change "#if @WITH_WRITER@" to either "#if 0" or "#if 1" then I get
further, but libxml2.dll still fails to link:

tree.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlCharInRange
valid.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlCharInRange
xmlregexp.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlCharInRange
xpath.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlCharInRange
catalog.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlCharInRange
HTMLparser.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlCharInRange
parser.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlCharInRange
parserInternals.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _xmlCharInRange
binaries\libxml2.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Should be fixed in CVS, check the mailing list in case of Windows
problems before reporting to bugzilla !
