Update dependencies list #4
Comments
Thanks for fighting for tumblesocks on Windows! :) Mind if I add your comments to the README? This could really help new users who are having troubles. |
Yeah, by all means! The release notes for Emacs 24.3 say "On MS Windows, you can pass --without-libxml2 to configure.bat to omit support for libxml2, even if its presence is detected." but I don't know if that means the official binaries have it built-in yet. I would re-install Emacs to check, but if it ain't broke... I think users also have to install |
Ok, thanks again. I added a link to the sourceforge page to the README. |

While Emacs 24 is supposed to include support for libxml by default, that doesn't seem to be the case in the official Windows binaries for 24.2. The problem should be solved in the next release, but for now, you may have to point Windows users towards some unofficial binaries to get libxml support.
The latest binary from this Dropbox folder maintained by Dani Moncayo worked for me. Links to various libraries are in his recipe for building on your own. I didn't try the Cygwin version of libxml, but the version from
ezwinports
worked for me.Incidentally, you should probably also list the various image libraries as dependencies, too. Some distributions for Windows include image support by default, but at the very least Vincent Goulet's version doesn't seem to have libxml support. So, the fourth tip in this blog post will do the trick once you've got Dani Moncayo's build of Emacs installed.
