I use windows xp SP2, and the proposed 3.4.5 mingw toolchain.

I try to link a small app I have written with libxml2. I downloaded the binaries from http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/

and I decompressed all in my c:\xmlsoft_distro folder with layout

c:\xmlsoft_distro\bin
c:\xmlsoft_distro\lib
c:\xmlsoft_distro\include
..... blah .. blah

My app is TestXML. When the linker tries to generate according to mingw I have to do something like (in MSYS)

g++ -mwindows -mconsole -c TextXML.cpp -I"c:/xmlsoft_distro/lib"

and for linking (you have to put the full path to the lib, because mingw views it like an object file)

g++ -mwindows -mconsole -o TestXML.exe TestXML.o c:/xmlsoft_distro/libxml2.lib

It works fine.

Upp 2007.1.Beta2 does something similar for compilation and works but for linking it does something similar to

g++ -mwindows -mconsole -o TestXML.exe c:/xmlsoft_distro/libxml2.lib TestXML.o

which fails.

Can you take a look? .exe and .o must be switched I think. I used http://www.xmlsoft.org/examples/index.html#tree1.c as TreeXML.cpp

Solve some minor bugs and VS will be phased out. Thanks for the great IDE.
