Since there is no usable 3.2 package available I have resorted to compiling
my own under windows.
After wading through the problems iconv and libxml2 threw at me, I've hit
another roadblock. Tclxml seems to insist on having xml2-config available.
But NONE of the methods of installing libxml2 create this script. That
includes 1) downloading the pre-compiled win32 files 2) compiling under
mingw 3) cygwin.
The four lines in the readme are not particularly helpful:
Windows (MSYS/MINGW) [Advice: ActiveTcl includes binaries for TclXML.]
You must have Tcl/Tk version 8.2 or better installed on your system. Tcl/Tk
8.5.5 or better is recommended.
Before starting, download the binaries for libxml2 (or build them from
source). xmlsoft <http://xmlsoft.org/> has a link to the MS Windows binary
distribution.
If you have a TEA build environment setup, just use the normal
configure/make/make
install pattern.
I have a TEA build, environment, but the next step, configure, always fails:
checking for xml2-config script... configure: error: unable to find
xml2-config
I might have assumed that tclxml2 had just not been tested properly under
windows except for this statement:
"TclXML/libxml2 is built with MSYS/MINGW, see above, so this build system is
untested."
I would really appreciate some help with this since I have made every effort
to solve this problem myself.
