Hi,

I tried to compile Libxslt with VS2019. I am facing the below issue. Please help:

C:\IC_GitCode\XMLPArser\rt_libxslt\src\libxslt-1.1.34\libxslt/xsltconfig.h(120): error C2018: unknown character '0x40'
Generating Code...
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.26.28801\bin\HostX86\x64\cl.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

Libxml I have compiled "cscript configure.js compiler=msvc prefix=c:\opt include=c:\opt\include lib=c:\opt\lib debug=yes iconv=no"
This was successful and I placed the include folder in libxslt where I was trying to compile

Please help. I don't know where I am going wrong. This is the first time I am doing such task.

Thanks,
Sara

The error message gives you the file name, the line number, and the reason. Check the source to see what it is complaining about.

It's telling you exactly where the problem is:

C:\IC_GitCode\XMLPArser\rt_libxslt\src\libxslt-1.1.34\libxslt/xsltconfig.h(120): error C2018: unknown character '0x40'

It's on line 120 of the xsltconfig.h file. If you've got a problem with compiling some projects source code, contact the people that wrote the code.

Solution 2

It appears that the script isn't handling @WITH_PROFILER@. At a quick glance, you can replace line 120 with

C++

#if 1

Edit: This has been fixed on GitLab: win32 · master · GNOME / libxslt · GitLab[^] (A new version of Makefile.msvc is also there.)
