Description wizanda 2009-09-24 15:10:15 UTC 
When compiling with MinGW, it fails on zlib not being set properly:

libxml\win32\Makefile.mingw

LIBS += -lzdll

should be

LIBS += -lz

Probably depends on which version of zlib you're using since it was
working  that way for the person who provided it. I have no Windows
around, we use Mingw to cross-compile for linux, but with the normal
configure and that works just fine, but again it's not using that
Makefile.mingw

Post to themailing-list to submit your change where other Windows users
may be able to come back with more informed suggestions than me.
