I am trying to integrate libxml2 with PHP by linking it with libxml2_a_dll.lib.However this is not happening.Apache throws following warning. PHP Warning: Cannot load module 'SimpleXML' because required module 'libxml' is not loaded in Unknown on line 0 I have added libxml.obj to STATIC_EXT_OBJS and libxml2_a_dll.lib to STATIC_EXT_LIBS and LIBXML_STATIC_FOR_DLL to STATIC_EXT_CFLAGS. Following are the two crucial lines in the makefile for obtaining library libxml2_a_dll.lib . .c{$(LIBXML_STATIC)}.obj: $(CC) $(INCLUDE_FLAGS) $(CFLAGS) /D "LIBXML_STATIC" /D "LIBXML_STATIC_FOR_DLL" /Fo$(LIBXML_STATIC)\ /c $< all: $(STATIC_OBJS) $(SO_OBJS) lib.exe /nologo /OUT:$(LIBXML_STATIC)\libxml2_a_dll.lib $(STATIC_OBJS) I am novice to such kind of job.Can anyone please help me. Thanks, Chhaya
