Subject: libxml2 libs for win32?
From: wez@thebrainroom.com ("Wez Furlong")

hey,

I just tried to build php5 on my new machine using a fresh checkout
and sync'ing from Edins magic box of libs, and the build fails:

php5ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _libiconv_version
php5ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
libiconv_set_relocation_prefix
Release_TS\php5ts.lib : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
LINK : fatal error LNK1141: failure during build of exports file

I tried upgrading my xml libs to Rob's latest stuff but found that the
.def file is a bit ca-ca. (loads of unresolved libxml functions).

I tried copying libs across from my known-good box, but get the
same problems.

I can get things to link by commenting the offending lines (and hacking
the iconv extension), but found that doing it that way requires a
separate iconv.dll.

I thought the goal was to have a big static libxml2_a.lib that
included all the iconv stuff (so no need for iconv.dll's), and have
the .def file export all those things (which is what it appears to
be trying to do).
