Tony, I am using that same version of libxml2 with Visual Studio 2013 update 3. We build on Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows 7, but I doubt that the operating system matters much.
Your command line below would not be enough to build the file. You need to provide the include path, and provide the link parameters to the libxml2 distribution. I built your referenced example using a simple Visual Studio win32 project. -Tom -----Original Message----- From: xml [mailto:xml-boun...@gnome.org] On Behalf Of Tony Girgenti Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 9:54 AM To: eric.zurc...@csiro.au; xml@gnome.org Subject: Re: [xml] Using LIBXML2 in Windows environment Eric, Thanks for your help.

Can you be more specific about where you are running into problems? If you want assistance, it would also be useful to know whether you are attempting to build a 32-bit or 64-bit version.
