the horrors... *rant mode engaged* this global variable (which first of all is a horrible thing API wise and no self respecting library developer should ever use global symbols like that for multiple reasons) seems like a new thing. so i had to rebuild libxslt and libxml2 on win32... until now i was using the last ever win32 developer package released by the libxslt / libxml2 maintainer, which is from the past (aka 2011). rebuilding required the deadly GNU trio - libtool, autotool, automake, which are ported by people who think that /progra~1 is a standard search path on win32 and that 'make install' is a thing that actually works. i ditched their idea to use this nerdy set of tools and used the alternative they provide which is in javascript form and to be used by cscript.exe (amazing...). it generated bogus Makefiles with bad paths and missing source files, and after successfully skipping the part where i manually inject symbols in a library, it's all good. i *strongly* encourage anyone being crazy enough to attempt to build the above libraries from source natively on win32 to drop me an email first so that i can supply development packages to him / her instead before the imminent frustration which will surely ensue in the attempts to perform said action. :-) http://media.giphy.com/media/bSllM1kdw7C7e/giphy.gif lubomir -- _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
