[igraph] failure compiling igraph in C under Windows

[Francois Bastardie]

Hello,


By any chance, someone would have experienced the same like me?

I am using MinGW + MSYS (Windows) but the compilation fails. It seems
the configure script is not guessing properly my settings. Also I don't
know to what extend this error is linked with the libxml2 library. It is
written in the online doc that we need it to run the graphml format...so
I installed libxml2\bin in my $PATH but it does not seems it is enough
because I got back: 
igraph successfully configured.
  GraphML format support -- no
etc.

You may want to see the entire messages I got back when running
"./configure" and then the "make" command hereafter  
Thank you
Best regards,
Francois
