Thx for your summary :)
All what you have written I shouldn't do, I did before I wrote my first 
mail.

But see the mail I've written 13 minutes after yours.


@Brad House: First I tried it with -l, but then I tried -L because there 
wasn't a change if I supplied -l or not.


I'VE FOUND THE MISTAKE: I only specified -lxml2 and -liconv but I have 
to specify `xml2-config --libs` and with --cflags, as I have to do it 
under linux. (Also I found out, that I can compile the very normal linux 
packet for zlib under DJGPP :D)


But now there is another error :( . This is the error:
bash-2.04$ gcc `xml2-config --libs` win_dirparselog.c `xml2-config 
--cflags` -o parser.exe
c:/programme/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lgcc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

xml2-config --libs is:   -L/dev/env/DJDIR/lib -lxml2 -lz -liconv -lm
xml2-config --cflags is: -I/dev/env/DJDIR/include/libxml2

So there isn't a -lgcc!! I also tried specifying -I<PATH_TO_libgcc.a> 
but this doesn't help.

(Is there a way to put the line including `xml2-config --libs` in a 
Makefile? When I did it, he didn't parse the `command` .. )


All the best,
Timo
