[Tclxml-users] win32 compile help

[Erik P. <sh...@et...>]

Hey dudes,

I'm trying to work around my combo distro problems by compiling from source.
I'm using the 3.0 distributions for windows from the tcl xml homepage.

I have compile problems with windows binaries for zlib from the recommended download source, http://xmlsoft.org/sources/win32/. Specifically, the windows makefile is trying to link against zlib_a.lib which doesn't exist in the distributions of zlib at that place. There's 2 distros, zlib-1.2.2.win32.zip and the earlier point release zlib-1.2.1.win32.zip. 

The readme hints at the author's working version. Do I explicitly need zlib-1.1.4.win32? Would I be just as well off trying to link against zlib.dll instead of the requested zlib_a.dll? When I do this, I get the following link errors;

'LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol "_xmlFree" imported
libxml2_a.lib(xpath.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __ftol2
libxml2_a.lib(xmlschemastypes.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _
_ftol2
libxml2_a.lib(xpointer.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __ftol2
.\Release\tcllibxml230.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link' : return code '0x460'
Stop.'

I think before I move on to compiling DOM, I need to resolve this.
Any advice appreciated.
