libxml2 build for php 5.2 on windows

I am trying to build php 5.2 on Windows with Visual. So far I managed to build everything except for libxml2 dependencies, which do not seem to work. So could anyone please clarify the following matters: 1. What libxml2 version is required for 5.2 build? 2. Should 5.2 build use static or dynamic (dll) version of libxml2? 3. libxml.c seems to use symbol xmlDllMain - which is built in libxml2 only when LIBXML_STATIC_FOR_DLL symbol is defined, however standard builds of libxml2 never define this symbol, at least in latest version 2.6.26. 4. General question - PHP 5 requires a number of libraries that PHP 4 did not, such as iconv, libxml2, etc. However, these libraries are not included in win32build package, and also binaris available online not always work cleanly with PHP. Would not it be good to update this package with all binaries needed to build standard PHP 5? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/
