Hello Kovid

We are trying to get Calibre and the IOS plugins working for IOS 8.

I am following your instructions for building libimobiledevice for Windows https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...vice_notes.rst.

Some of the libraries (e.g., libxml2.lib) you mention are not in the GitHub branch, so I was wondering where I should get them from?

I have already build libimodiledevice using VS2012, and I ended up building the missing dependencies from source (which is in GitHub). Anyway, Calibre fails to launch with my new libimodiledevice.

So I am now following your instructions more closely using VS2008. I have got as far a libplist, but I do not have a libxml2.lib (unless I build it from source, which may not be what you intended).

PS I do not have a Calibre dev environment.

Thanks
