How to install libxslt on windows7?


When I want to install lxml,it says:

make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed

So I have installed libxml2 and has download libxslt. But I don't know how to install it. I can't show the image.

These are files in the document:

acconfig.h aclocal.m4 AUTHORS ChangeLog config.guess config.h.in config.sub configure configure.in COPYING Copyright depcomp doc examples FEATURES INSTALL install-sh libexslt libexslt.pc.in libxslt libxslt.m4 libxslt.pc.in libxslt.spec libxslt.spec.in ltmain.sh Makefile.am Makefile.in missing NEWS python README tests TODO vms win32 xslt-config.inxsltConf.sh.in xsltproc


Solution

  • By convention development packages have a suffix, so normally I would try to search for installer for something like libxslt-dev or libxslt-devel.

    But for the Windows case, as it is written on XSLT C library website Igor Zlatkovic is now the maintainer of the Windows port. Try to install his binaries. I remember doing it about a year ago. I was doing xml and xslt manipulation both from C++ and Python then, and it worked for me.
