Package containing libxml.dll

Package containing libxml.dll

[ravi r]

I want to install the library file /usr/lib/libxml.dll.a in cygwin.
Installed package
libxml2-devel and that did not install this file. In setup program, I cannot
find a package named libxml-devel.

What package in setup can I select in cygwin setup to install
/usr/lib/libxml.dll.a?

  $ cygcheck -l libxml2-devel |grep dll
/usr/lib/libxml2.dll.a

You can answer questions like this one with the package search page:

<https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi>

As you'll find, Cygwin does not have a package for libxml(1).  If you need
it for some backwards-compatibility reason, you'll have to build it
yourself.  Otherwise, stick with libxml2.

+1, but stronger: unless someone is having some nostalgia for an
ancient GNOME 1.x program, *nothing* should be using libxml 1.x.
