[lxml-dev] Instructions to build on Windows 64-bit?

I noticed that the lxml PyPI page provides 64-bit Windows installers [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/2.2.4 ; lxml-*amd64.exe]. I assume they are statically linked with the libxml/xslt libraries. In the interest of providing 64-bit binaries in PyPM [pypm.activestate.com], may I know how these binaries are built? I tried buildlibxml.py which fails at several steps; and the compiled libraries provided at ftp.zlatkovic.com are 32-bit only. -srid

Any response? I ask because this would enable us to provide builds for lxml via PyPM: http://pypm.activestate.com/list-l.html#lxml Currently the 64-bits are missing. If the person who made the amd64 installers could respond to this, that would be great. It will make http://codespeak.net/lxml/installation.html#installation-in-activepython just work on the 64-bit systems. Specifically I am asking for the 64-bit version of http://codespeak.net/lxml/build.html#static-linking-on-windows -srid

I've used the binaries from: http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/ I also had to modify the 'libraries' function in setupinfo.py since those binaries are slightly different. I don't remember the details, but something about a '_a' postfix IIRC. -- Sidnei
