[lxml-dev] Compilation of lxml on Windows 64-bit
Hi All, Came across this little gem of a Python module which seems able to translate 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
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.

OK thanks Sidnei, I was wondering if you had been using his binaries our compiling you own. Is there an appropriate mailing list or should I ping Igor directly. I will let you know how usage on 64-bit goes and let you know about any issues. Cheers, Hanni 2008/10/2 Sidnei da Silva <sidnei@enfoldsystems.com>

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 2008/10/2 Sidnei da Silva <sidnei@enfoldsystems.com>

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 Hanni, I finally managed to compile lxml for x64 myself. Since now I have a working environment capable of generating those, I will start uploading x64 binaries to PyPI. Would be awesome if you could give those lxml 2.2.1 binaries a try and let me know if it works for you. They are completely statically linked so no extra dependencies should be needed. http://drop.io/ouequws -- Sidnei
Hi Sidnei, Seems to work well for me here, I will install it across our dev environment to give it some thorought testing time, but it looks good to me. Cheers, Hanni 2009/7/16 Sidnei da Silva <sidnei@enfoldsystems.com>
