Following up:

Jens' note caused me to look somewhere OTHER than: https://github.com/lxml/lxml (which is where the documentation points you to).

And the distribution at https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/l/lxml/lxml-3.3.3.tar.gz#md5=f267583... seems to have the right stuff.

I think the page at http://lxml.de/build.html is confusing in this regard and may need a bit of clarification so no one else does what I did. Or maybe I'm just a dumb noob.

...

Hmm, it's actually *very* explicit, although that also makes it a bit verbose. Suggestions for improvements welcome.

1) Can we get "source code" of these pages so we can suggest patches right off the bat?

https://github.com/lxml/lxml Specifically, INSTALL.txt and doc/build.txt. Pull requests welcome.

2) "Static linking on Windows":

2.1) Replace the section's content with "run with --static-deps", possibly abbreviate the former content into a brief explanation of what the option does.

Right. I updated it.

2.2) Add the "insert http://msinttypes.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/stdint.h to VC9.0's include dir" fix that I mentioned in https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/pipermail/lxml/2014-January/007065.html .

That shouldn't be necessary anymore. Thanks for the comments. Stefan
