+There seems to be some finickiness with configure that sometimes you have to disable static binding and sometimes you don't
+it's still a mystery to me:
+
+{{{
+tar xvfz libxml2-2.7.8.tar.gz 
+cd libxml2-2.7.8
+./configure --prefix=/c/projects/libxml/libxml2-2.7.8release --enable-shared --disable-static

+
+-- to force to compile static if your GeomFromGML/KML crashes you can try this.
+{{{
+./configure --prefix=/c/projects/libxml/libxml2-2.7.8release --disable-shared CCFLAGS=LDFLAGS="-Wl,-static" CFLAGS=-O2

+
+== LibXML if the above fails in producing a release === 
+Sometimes you get a libtoolT error at the end of configure which seems harmless. Sometimes it compiles on some machines and not others.
+I have concluded it has to do with which zlib if any it picks up (on one machine that worked it was picking up my tortoise git zlib and had a dependency on msvcr9). 
+So you can explicitly set your paths with:
+
+{{{
+export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin"
+}}}
+
+and /or :
+
+{{{
+./configure --prefix=/c/projects/libxml/libxml2-2.7.8release --enable-shared --disable-static --without-zlib
