Description Sergey Scobich 2006-01-27 12:45:59 UTC 
Hi,

I found VS.2005 environment a very nice one and it seems to better support C99.
Also it has a lot of good features, like profiling, boundary and security
checks in the code. This could be usefull when you debug applications.
In order to contribute some code to gstreamer I need to build it and be able to
debug it right from VS.2005.

For this I need to compile all the dependancies because there are crashes
appeared when you try to mix msvcrt.dll and msvcr80.dll runtimes.
For libxml2 I didn't find any VS.2005 project files and faced some problems
compiling it from command line.

So I created the required project files for VS.2005 and attached them to bug. 

Please include them to CVS, this will save a lot of time for the people like me
that want to debug other applications that depends on libxml2 right from VS.2005

Please note that I understand that you cannot distribute the build linked with
msvcr80.dll because it is not a part of OS and this breaks GPL. I just asking
to add VS project files.

I've filed the same bug for glib before(#328691) and it seems to be accepted. It
will be nice to see the same for libxml2.

VS.2005 project files

the vs8 directory attached need to be added to 
win32 directory. If you think that it is not the right place please tell
me I will move them to another location and modify project files acordingly.
Comment 2 Daniel Veillard 2006-01-27 13:42:15 UTC 
Suggestions for platform specific changes, especially for Windows
must be directed to the mailing-list where the people competent on the
Windows environment can answer. 
   http://xmlsoft.org/bugs.html 
for informations about the mailing-list, please suscribe first. We do have a
Windows maintainer and he will ultimately make the decision. I don't know
why the environment to build in the win32 subdir is not adequate, this should
be explained in the post to the mailing-list.
I will close this bug report as I don't expect processing of this request to be
done though Bugzilla,

  thanks,

Daniel
