But now I get some additional warnings, old problem persists :( Any idea what I might be doing wrong! ------------------------------------------- Creating library Release\php5ts.lib and object Release\php5ts.exp php_xmlwriter.obj : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol _xmlFree imported in function _zm_startup_xmlwriter libxml.obj : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol _xmlFree imported in functi on _php_libxml_node_free simplexml.obj : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol _xmlFree imported in fun ction _sxe_prop_dim_read compat.obj : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol _xmlFree imported php_xmlreader.obj : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol _xmlFree imported in function _zm_startup_xmlreader compat.obj : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol _xmlMalloc imported in func tion __build_comment libxml.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _xmlDllMain referenced in function _DllMain@12 Release\php5ts.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Intel\CPP\Compiler81\IA32\bin\icl. exe"' : return code '0x460' Stop. ---------------------------------- Thanks, Rashmi
