Hello,

   I tried searching the list Archive, but didn't find what looked like recent 
answers to this question, and they all seemed to differ a bit in the details. 
So, please forgive me if this is a FAQ, but I was unsuccessful in searching for 
the answer.

   Anyhow, I have a Visual Studio project in which I want to use libxml2 to 
parse some xml files. I downloaded the Windows binaries for libxml2, iconv, and 
zlib.

   In my Visual Studio project's properties sheet, in the "Linker" section, in 
the "Additional Library Directories" option I added the "lib" sub-directories 
under each of the libraries' own directories

(e.g "..\libxml2-2.7.7.win32\lib" for the libxml2 library, and similar for 
iconv and zlib).

Additionally, in the "Input>Additional Dependencies" option, I added 
libxml2_a_dll.lib iconv.lib zdll.lib, so that the linker would use those to 
resolve symbols.

However, I am getting a bunch of linker errors when building my projects, 
similar to the following examples:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__WSAGetLastError@0 referenced 
in function _socket_errno                libxml2_a_dll.lib
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__closesocket@4 referenced in 
function _xmlNanoHTTPFreeCtxt                libxml2_a_dll.lib

Additionally, I'm getting a warning (which might be related?):

warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'MSVCRT' conflicts with use of other libs; use 
/NODEFAULTLIB:library

Any help you can provide in resolving these would be greatly appreciated. It 
looks to me like WSAGetLastError, closesocket, etc., might be Windows System 
API's that *should* be resolved from the MSVCRT libraries?

If I try to build the project with the "Ignore Default Libraries" option set to 
"YES", then the linker can't resolve the calls to standard c library functions 
I make in my program, such as calling printf, malloc, realloc, free, qsort, etc.
