Still doesn't work... Same error. Just for being sure, I have copy the files both for C:\MinGW and C:\MinGW\msys\1.0 . I download it from here(under "zlib" line) both Dev and Run-time: http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html Anyone know how to deal it properly? |

Thanks. It is successfully installed now.(is it? see next lines)
I had the latest zlib, the problem was I didn't have "libtool"(I didn't know I need this) so this solve my problem. BTW: I'm 32 bit.
Now I said that there still a problem. The real reason I installed libxml2 is because I need GStreamer0.10 and this is depended on it.
So when I'm in "gstreamer-0.10.32" source tarball directory, I entered this line "./configure --prefix=/usr" and it tells me:
.....
checking for XML... no
no
configure: error:
Need libxml2 and development headers/files to build GStreamer.
You can do without libxml2 if you pass --disable-loadsave to
configure, but that breaks ABI, so don't do that unless you
are building for an embedded setup and know what you are doing.
^?@TAL-WINDOWS /src/gstreamer-0.10.32
$
But I DID install libxml2 to /usr(the root) by "./config --prefix=/usr" as you told me above, and the file "/lib/pkgconfig/libxml-2.0.pc" does exist!

Most likely you have a problem with pkg-config. Where is it installed? On Windows it automatically groks .pc files from <pkg-config.exe directory>/../lib/pkgconfig/ If pkg-config is not in /bin/, it will not find /lib/pkgconfig/ by itself, you'd have to add that directory to PKG_CONFIG_PATH when running configure |

Thank you for all your support, sorry for being a noob. It's configuring well now, but still one more problem- it can't recognize /usr/lib/libiconv.la. Why? Because I install libtool via "mingw-get install libtoo". The file does exist, but it is under C:\MinGW(because of using mingw-get), and my MSYS is under C:\MinGW\msys\1.0. So if I'm kinda in troubles right now... How can I solve this correctly? Can I re-install both minGW(+minGW-get) and MSYS to the same directory? Is it recommended? Does MSYSGit will solve it to one directory, and could I install minGW-get in it? |

MinGW and Msys MUST be located in different directories. Anything that does not depend on msys-1.0.dll (that is, anything you build with MinGW) should NOT go into /usr. MinGW must live in a separate directory, and is usually mounted to /mingw (but that is not required). Msys' /etc/profile will add /mingw/bin to PATH BEFORE /bin, which is why Msys will use MinGW toolchain and MinGW tools, even if you have toolchain and tools with the same names in /usr/bin. If you don't mount MinGW directory as /mingw, you'd have to edit /etc/profile. If you build something with MinGW toolchain, you should put it into /mingw by configuring with --prefix=/mingw Never ever put anything MinGW-related into /usr/lib, /usr/bin or /usr/include, these are for Msys only. You MIGHT put something in /usr/local (this is usually the default prefix), but MinGW will NOT find anything there by itself. If you do that, you'd have to pass CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" and LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" to configure/make (although configuring with --prefix=/usr/local might take care of that - but that is up to configure script, not MinGW tools). |

Why? Because I install libtool via "mingw-get install libtoo". Get rid of the .la file.

Be careful with msys-git, it includes a forked copy of MSYS and may get in the way of what you are trying to do. Be sure not to include in the Windows PATH settings paths to MSYS or MinGW. When configuring the software for use with MinGW it is best suited for you to use a prefix of c:/mingw (assuming you've installed MinGW there). -- Earnie -- http://www.for-my-kids.com |

Thank you! I reinstall MinGW-get with MSYS Basic+Developer set up this, and it's work. Thanks for all your help! |
