Hash :066c6977 Message :Allow to compile with Visual Studio 2010
For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666491
This patch adds project files to compile and debug libxml2 using Visual
Studio 2010. Only few minor changes have been made to the actual source
code.
This patch also requires for the iconv package to be compiled with visual
studio 2010 which has been submitted to the iconv project (see:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35088)
win32/VC10/README.vc10
README file for VC10 project files for libxml2
----------------------------------------------
to clarify: This is not the readme file for the whole libxml2 project.
Rather, it's a readme for the VC10 project files, attached to the libxml2 proejct.
Quick Start
-----------
1) To use, load the libxml2.sln solution file into visual studio
2) check and correct paths for dependent "iconv" project which most certaily
are wrong on your environment.
3) Compile all projects
Background Info
---------------
Running of "configure.sh" won't make sense since VS doesn't support
this kind of build system and the environment is pretty much known already
if you're using Visual Studio. Instead, a preconfigured "config.h" file
is provided in the "win32\VC10" directory and referenced by the project
files already.
The compile process is not completely warning-free: Some warnings will
appear during compile which can be ignored.
