[Mingw-users] Building libxml2 2.8.0 on WindowsXP fails

[Lothar <lot...@lo...>]

Hi,

I try to build the current release of libxml2 (2.8.0) on my Windows XP box. I am using the following tools:

bakefile 0.2.9 to create the makefiles,
gcc (GCC) 4.6.2
GNU Make version 3.79.1 when trying make
GNU Make 3.82 when trying mingw32-make

The results are as follows:

make -f makefile.gcc

if not exist mingw mkdir mingw
make: C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe: Command not found
make: [mingw] Error 127 (ignored)
copy ..\include\win32config.h ..\config.h
make: C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe: Command not found
make: *** [..\config.h] Error 127

make --win32 -f makefile.gcc

if not exist mingw mkdir mingw
make: C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe: Command not found
make: [mingw] Error 127 (ignored)
copy ..\include\win32config.h ..\config.h
make: C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe: Command not found
make: *** [..\config.h] Error 127

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc

if not exist mingw mkdir mingw
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, -c "if not exist mingw mkdir mingw", ...) failed.
make (e=2): Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
mingw32-make: [mingw] Error 2 (ignored)
copy ..\include\win32config.h ..\config.h
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, copy ..\include\win32config.h ..\config.h, ...) failed.
make (e=2): Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
mingw32-make: *** [..\config.h] Error 2

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Lothar
