Question

I am now compiling libxml2 on windows 8 using mingw32.

I have downloaded from here ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/ and follow the instruction found in the README file. They instruct to configure make using a javascript called configure.js. We can run the script like this:

cscript configure.js compiler=msvc prefix=c:\opt include=c:\opt\include lib=c:\opt\lib debug=yes

I guess there is a super simple and maybe obvious to this question, but how do I set several lib and include folders ? I tried separating with ";" :

cscript configure.js compiler=mingw zlib=yes prefix=C:\cpp\libraries\libxml2 include=C:\cpp\libraries\iconv-1.9.2.win32\include;C:\cpp\libraries\zlib1.2.3\GnuWin32\include lib=C:\cpp\libraries\iconv-1.9.2.win32\lib;C:\cpp\libraries\zlib1.2.3\GnuWin32\lib

but that did not work out. Did not find anything about that in the readme file ...

Was it helpful?

Solution

finally things were not so difficult. the javascript script create a file config.mingw that is easy to edit, in this case manually adding the paths separately with -I, in my case:

INCLUDE+= -IC:\cpp\libraries\iconv\GnuWin32\include -IC:\cpp\libraries\zlib1.2.3\GnuWin32\include
LIB+= -LC:\cpp\libraries\iconv\GnuWin32\lib -LC:\cpp\libraries\zlib1.2.3\GnuWin32\lib
