The import library is not created because TinyXM doesn't export any of the 
symbols.
If you use Gcc it will auto-export all the function for you to use in your 
project
but you need to use Gcc and not Visual Studio. Sorry, this is not a desision we 
made,
it is one from the main TinyXML people. I suggest bring it up with them and see 
what
they have to say.

That makes ticpp and TinyXML++ not really cross-platform, does it? Maybe you 
should
remove this insinuation on the web-site or clearly state that you cannot use it 
as a
shared library with msvc. This would have saved me some time and frustration.

Well it is cross platform. Code doesn't need to be usable as a dll to be 
considered
cross platform. Sorry. Compile the files in with your main application or as a 
static
library, then it will work for you. TinyXML was written to be included in your
application, not as a dll. We didn't make this desision the TinyXML developers 
have.
But I really don't see any reason this restriction should stop you from using 
it.

I would be glad to make the Premake script give an error if you try to generate 
build
files with VC and the --shared option. Would this be helpful?
