Gregor,

We have been able to compile aglib packages in windows platforms using
cygwin and vc++, and once using mingwin.

If that's the reason, you might want to compile xerces-c by yourself
using vc++ or anything to get dll version of that library.  There is
an alternative, although you may find it more difficult.

If you have vc++ compiler, we have project files for aglib, although
we don't release them officially.  I'll send it in seperate email.

There are some prerequisites:

  * vc++ tweak
    - you need to make vc++ recognize .cc files as c++ sources
    - [http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q181506]
  * stlport [http://www.stlport.com/download.html]
    - to use hash_map and hash_set, which vc++ doesn't support
  * python 2.2
    - headers and libraries for ag python module compilation
  * xerces-c
    - headers and libaraies for ag file io compilation

NB. Header/library directories of stlport, python and xerces-c should
be added to the vc++'s search path lists.  stlport directories should
be on top in the lists.

NB. You might have to compile python and xerces-c by yourself using
vc++.  They have vc++ project files, so it's not very difficult.
