The latest source can be downloaded from
ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/ 
(currently libxml2-2.6.27.tar.gz 
<ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.6.27.tar.gz>). 
I'm guessing you're 
on Windows, if so check out the win32 directory, namely the
"Readme.txt" 
file has info on running the configure script &
compiling.

Hi Srinivas,

I build libxml for the Mac and for Windows without iconv or
zlib. From 
looking at my build logs, I see the following.

If you're using configure on a *nix system (including Mac OS
X), the 
configure command line flags are:

--without-iconv --without-zlib

but be sure to read the docs, because there are many other
choices to make.

On Windows, when you run configure.js, the command line
options are:

iconv=no

and I do not see anywhere that I specified no zlib support,
but the 
script file displays what it's doing and it shows "zlib
support: no", so 
maybe that's the default? Again, you need to read through
the docs, 
because there are quite a few choices to make.

P.S. Here's my configure command to create a multithreaded
debug static 
lib version without zlib or iconv on Windows using VS 2005:

cscript configure.js compiler=msvc prefix=myprefixpath
iconv=no 
cruntime=/MTd threads=native dynruntime=no static=yes
debug=yes

and here is the equivalent on the Mac:

./configure --prefix=/my/prefix/path --with-gnu-ld
--without-iconv 
--without-zlib --disable-shared --with-debug
--with-mem-debug
