Hi!

This is a couple of questions concerning the libxml that comes along with
cygwin.
I'm trying to compile the example files from the libxml tutorial and I'm
having trouble with undefined reference to `_xmlStrcmp'. I link it against
the libxml though, and it seems to contain the missing symbol :

dliberce:~/soft/toto1> gcc -lxml2 toto.c -I/usr/include/libxml2 -L/lib
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccMrXqGT.o(.text+0x3e):toto.c:

dliberce:~/soft/toto1> xml2-config --version
2.5.7
dliberce:~/soft/toto1> xml2-config --libs
-lxml2
dliberce:~/soft/toto1>



Anybody has a clue of what's going on here ?



Actually, there are several libxml :

dliberce:/lib> ls *xml*
lib-org-xml-sax.a  libxml2.a  libxml2.dll.a  libxml2.la  xml2Conf.sh
dliberce:/lib>

Anybody knows what libxml2.dll.a is? Is it a dll or a static archive like
libxml2.a ? How can I know which of the 3 libxml files gcc tries to use? And
how can I direct him?


Any information or pointer to some doc or manual will be welcome!

David
