[lxml-dev] Use lxml under windows

[Andreas Pakulat]

Hi,

I'd like to use lxml under windows, but I can't compile the C extension:

C:\lxml-scoder2>python setup.py build -c mingw32
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'lxml.etree' extension
creating build\temp.win32-2.4
creating build\temp.win32-2.4\Release
creating build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\src
creating build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\src\lxml
c:\Programme\CodeBlocks\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\libxml\inclu
de -IC:\Python24\include -IC:\Python24\PC -c src/lxml/etree.c -o build\temp.win3
2-2.4\Release\src\lxml\etree.o -w

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I already altered the setup.py to include

include_dir=['c:\libxml\include']
library_dirs=['c:\libxml\lib']
libaries=['libxml','libxslt','iconv','zlib']

libxml2 is from the prebuilt-windows-binaries.

Now the question is: Are those prebuilt-binaries incorrectly built and
thus don't include the necessary symbols or is lxml at fault here? Would
maybe building libxml2 myself solve this?
