Hi folks

I'm not an expert on compiling things for cygwin. Normally configure, make, make install work fine. But not now.

I tried to compile a program which needs libxml support.

I compiled and installed the libxml myself. While running configure everything is ok. The libxml is found. But when I try to build the program
I get the following error.

-------------------------------------------------------
$ make
make  all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/pm/fromsource/xml2-0.4'
gcc  -g -O2   -o xml2.exe  xml2.o -lxml
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lxml
collect2: ld gab 1 als Ende-Status zurück
make[1]: *** [xml2.exe] Fehler 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/pm/fromsource/xml2-0.4'
make: *** [all] Fehler 2
-------------------------------------------------------

What could I do that the libxml is linked to the program?
Must I convert the libxml to a dll?

Thank for any hint
   Franz
