I see you are using libxml2 and zlib(?) from
ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/ .
I just compiled gtkmathview myself on a totally clean mingw/msys, and
every time i used any lib from ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/
everything failed. Afaics, all his libs are totally b0rked for some
reason. I'd be highly against using anything from this site in our
production builds.
In the end, what i did was:
* Get glib, gettext-runtime and libiconv from Tor
* Get zlib from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm
* Compile libxml2 _yourself_ (so you get a proper .pc file to start),
and compile with --without-html --without-http. Any precompiled libxml2
out there seems to be fscked in some way or another.
* Compile gtkmathview with:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/Administrator/local/lib/pkgconfig/:/mingw/lib/pkgconfi
g/" CC=g++ ./configure --prefix=/mingw --disable-boxml
--disable-gmetadom --disable-libxml2-reader --disable-debug
--disable-custom-reader --enable-pipe --disable-tfm --disable-svg
--disable-gtk --with-t1lib=no --disable-ps --enable-libxml2
--enable-shared --disable-debug
It will work like a charm now, and give you all the dll's you need.
Hope this helps, I want 2.6.0 out!
