windows build with libxml and iconv

Rob,

I had severe problems with building on win98 because the batch file doesn't
work here AT ALL. Following Frank's change I found that phpts.def was left
permanently empty for me (says something about how long it is since I tested
sqlite, eh?) even though php -m showed both libxml and sqlite modules as
being compiled in.. I created phpts.def manually in the end and all works
well with the versions of libxml2 and iconv you supplied.

nb that meant downgrading both libxml2 and iconv here..

You kept an earlier error in your update for xsl.dsp:

+# ADD LINK32 php4ts_debug.lib libxslt_a.lib resolv.lib kernel32.lib
user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib /nologo /dll /debug /machine:I386
/nodefaultlib:"msvcrt" /out:"....\Debug_TS/php_xsl.dll"
/libpath:"....\Debug_TS" /libpath:"......\bindlib_w32\Release"
/libpath:"......\php_build\lib\libxslt"

(should be Debug not Release in there)

Nice little discovery for bug #26194

<?php

echo libiconv("ISO-8859-1","UTF-8","This is a test.");

?>

works...!

Subject: [PHP-DEV] windows build with libxml and iconv

Can someone with a clean windows build test the changes for the
libxml/iconv
linking. I believe it is working, but have so many copies of
libxml/libxslt
on my system I cant be 100% sure that it is.

A few things. It currently is exporting all libxml symbols. It looks like
there may be about 200K difference if we only export those we need, so any
opinions on full or partial export?
Also still trying to libxml to include all iconv symbols so that iconv is
not needed in php4dllts.dsp to export its symbols. Not sure if this is
necessary as compiler may be optimizing out the redundant functions.

For Edin's builds we are going to need to seperate libs for the
branches as
these wont work with php 4 - libxml may, but libxslt wont as its static
build is now linked dynamically against libxml.

www.ctindustries.net/patches/winphplibxml.zip
contains the libxml, libxslt as well as iconv files for building. iconv is
the stock version, but is included for versioning. libxml.dll and
libxslt/libexslt dlls are not needed, as we only need the static libs, but
are included.
php_libxml2.def needs to be placed in the ext/libxml directory.
libxml is version 2.5.11, libxslt is version 1.0.33 and iconv is
version 1.8

http://www.ctindustries.net/patches/winlibxml.diff.txt
diff is only for the debug build right now.
iconv.dsp was changed to link against php4ts_debug.lib for its iconv
symbols. Seems to work though there's still an open bug (#26194) so the
iconv() function isnt working.
xsl.dsp was changed to link against php4ts_debug.lib for its libxml and
iconv symbols
php4dllts.dsp statically links against libxml and iconv.

Edin, hopefully this is what you were looking for.

Rob
