I finally succeeded to compile after renaming the orignal expat-project
(i.e. expat-1-95, you also have to change the name in the makefile, that
comes with xml-parser).
The reason for this is, that perl-Makefiles also generates a dll with the
name expat.dll. You have to be careful not to mix two libraries.
The fix "2/[ #415911 ] missing XMLPARSEAPI for XML_DefaultCurre" was
nesecary for me also.
If you wish, I can send you the two dll's, but I have little time to make a
reasonable discription, how to install them best.
I made two experiances with the new expat:
- The crashes of the orignal versions are avoided.
- You have to be careful with non ascii-chars, they are internally handled
as native utf8. Here "use bytes;" offen helps.
Best wishes
Wolfgang
