Good afternoon! I’m trying to compile amd64 version of lxml. I use `python setup.py bdist_wininst --static-deps` command for this. I see that this command builds from 32 bit versions of libxml, libxslt, iconv, zlib. I’ve changed script so it takes zip-copy of 64bit 7z archives at Zlatkovic’s ftp. There are no .lib files in these packages, so I create them from dlls provided. But all the time I get “DLL Load Failed: no such path found” (retranslate from Russian) when using “from lxml import etree”. Also I see that etree.pyd from Zlatkovic’s package is 2 times bigger than mine. I’m using 64bit version of Visual C++ 2008 (also I tried with Mingw32-w64). Can someone provide full description of lxml building for Windows 64bit? I’ve searched in this mailing list, but have found a little.
