[libxml++] Problem building xml++-2.6 in windows (VS2008) with gendef tool generating a runtime error

[M&M <gon...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm just starting with libxml++, but already got into trouble... When I try
to build the library I get this error:

*Error    1    error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Generate
libxml++ def file"    xml++-2.6    xml++-2.6*

As far as I understand, this is gendef tool that is failing (called as a
Pre-link Event) after compilation and before linking. About gendef I am sure
that was built without even a warning, however when called in xml++-2.6
project it generates an error. I've checked how it is called, and here it
is:

*$(SolutionDir)gendef\$(ConfigurationName)\gendef
$(ConfigurationName)\$(InputName).def $(TargetFileName) $(IntDir)\*.obj
$(IntDir)\exceptions\*.obj $(IntDir)\io\*.obj $(IntDir)\nodes\*.obj
$(IntDir)\parsers\*.obj $(IntDir)\validators\*.obj

*I have also tried to execute this command from the command line
(substituting each macro by its value)*, *and I got an exception error and
this message in command line:

*'dumpbin' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.*

Any idea of what might be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Gonçalo
