Thread: [Dev-C++] Linkding DLL

Hello,

would like to ask how to link the DLL, which came withlibxml? There are some 
headers files of course and some DLL. I am not very familiar with that.
And by the way I rather use gcc.exe and make.exe in Command Prompt.
Of course I have on my mind Windows box.
So also would like to know which is the best directory to place the DLL 
library and the headers files?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

there are some problems i encountered with that stuff.
As I looked for some hints on the Internet i haven't any standard process to 
deal with this.
So I followed the gcc manual and tried

gcc -o myprog -Ldir=libxml -llibxml2.lib main.c

then just:

gcc -o myprog -llibxml2.lib main.c

having the file in my working directory .
But gcc writes down it cannot find the library.

There are some hints to have the shared libraries within the PATH but I am 
not sure if in Windows PATH or aome compiler library path.

Also there is three files coming in libxml in lib directory.
Clibxml2.lib
libxml2_a.lib 
libxml2_a_dll.lib

I'm not sure if these libs are dlls or what.

Thanks

Jan Mura

Hi,
Copy the h file and dll file to your project directory.
Then include the h file in your c ro cpp source file, and now select menu 
project->project property. select parameter item, you will see the linker 
setting. Add your dll file in the linker textarea.
Gook Luck!

this should be:

gcc -o myprog -Llibxml -lxml2 main.c

but the library file should have name libxml2.a

in this case

gcc -o myprog libxml2.lib main.c
