win32build solution.. View as Markdown

Hmm, I don't much appreciate the idea to use the libxml binaries
prepared on another site because libiconv uses errno to indicate the
current converter status and libiconv has problem with the "errno"
implementations of Microsoft libc's. errno is DLL / thread specific in
those and we should always make sure that libiconv is linked to the same
import library as libxml and php. I think we still need to build and
redistribute them by ourselves, though it could end up with
i-overwrote-libxml-and-then-it-stops-working messes.

Hi again (very late)

For libxml/iconv problem..

Should we... repackage the zip file with files from:
http://www.zlatkovic.com/projects/libxml/binaries.html

Or should we (or I can do that part, I have karma for that) upgrade the
PHP manual and instruct users to go download the files and put them in
the \whatever\win32build\ dir?
