Re: libxml2 build for php 5.2 on windows

Hi! Thanks for the quick answer! > 2.6.26 built using the LIBXML_STATIC_FOR_DLL flag. Ehm, ok. The problem is that it is not possible to define this flag in any way but by hand-editing makefile. Which reinforces my point about keeping working one in win32build zip. > It should be using the static version included from: > http://ctindustries.net/libxml/.

It's not standard libxml2 place - where one finds it out (except for asking on the list each time one want to build PHP ;) > I am working on getting this lib built by default within the standard > release.

Does it mean older PHP versions won't build with newer libxml? Ouch. Then I guess we need versioned files. Because right now building 5.2 on windows is very non-obvious to say the least and there's no reason why it should stay that way. Anyway, since older version did not have libxml at all, I think it won't be too bad adding one, -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/
