Re: Around in circles installing Lib-XML on Windows

Hi Peter,

you've sent me your message privately. Next time please hit reply to all
recipients as I specifically request in my signature (which your mailer have
fully quoted below). 

I'm CCing the list and Mithaldu, who has successfully built XML::LibXML on

Did you follow Mithaldu's instructions in the bug report? If not, why not?

The INC here should be "-I" - not "-L".

You can try debugging the Makefile.PL using the perl -d debugger:

But first try what Mithaldu suggests here:

And maybe he can also comment.
