Hi Sidnei, I have successfully compiled lxml for Windows 64, using libxml2-2.7.2, libxslt-1.1.24, using libiconv-1.11 and zlib-1.2.3. I managed to get it to compile using iconv.lib rather than iconv_a.lib so it requires that as well as installing libxml using the generated exe I need to copy over the iconv.dll, incase anyone knows how to resolve these three external symbol errors, here they are: libxml2_a.lib(encoding.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_li biconv referenced in function xmlIconvWrapper libxml2_a.lib(encoding.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_li biconv_close referenced in function xmlCharEncCloseFunc libxml2_a.lib(encoding.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_li biconv_open referenced in function xmlFindCharEncodingHandler build\lib.win-amd64-2.6\lxml\etree.pyd : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved exter nals I can provide you with the instruction to build, or just the egg and exe if you wish.

Hi Sidnei,
I have suceeded in compiling some form of libxml2 and libxslt, however I have not been able to use them to compile lxml which I think is due to some issues I have been having with iconv. I have managed to get lxml to compile using the win_iconv I found here:
http://www.gtk.org/download-windows-64bit.html
However the linker throws a whole host of unresolved external symbol errors, would you mind taking a look at the attached file to see if you notice something I'm doing wrong?
Let me know if I can provide anything else which may help.
Kind Regards,
Hanni

Haven't looked at that yet. I'm pretty confident though that we need
libxml2 to be compiled for x64 first.
I use the binaries provided by Igor Zlatkovic (http://www.zlatkovic.com/libxml.en.html) to build lxml. Maybe you can get the ball rolling by pinging Igor about providing x64 binaries? I'm a little bit short of time to start that discussion, but will eventually need a x64 build myself, for using lxml with IIS in Windows Server x64.
Hi All,
Came across this little gem of a Python module which seems able to

some XML reports for me nicely.
I was very pleased to see a Python 2.6 installer for windows, made checking it out much easier than many modules I use. So thanks for that.
However although my testing seems to confirm this is the ideal module I do need to deploy to our production environment which is a 64-bit Windows environment running Python 2.6 (I code on 32-bit box for simplicity/resource reasons).
Has anyone compiled and used lxml on this platform combination? If not does anyone foresee me having any issues compiling it for this platform?
Thanks,
Hanni
