I had install mingw earlier, but not set it to $PATH, so must be
'LD=link' and your previous advices on "CXXFLAGS" .
I execute configure like this:
./configure LD=link CC="cl -nologo" CXX="$PWD/compile cl
-nologo" CXXFLAGS="-EHsc -Z7" AR=lib
CPPFLAGS=-IC:/zlib-1.2.3-lib/include LDFLAGS="-LC:/zlib-1.2.3-lib/lib"
--prefix="C:/xapian-install"
>> 3.1 change libxapian.a's name to libxapian.lib;
And sorry,I check again, '3.1 change libxapian.a's name to
libxapian.lib;' is not necessary, can use libxapian.a directly.

Maybe, but The project was create from Visual Stdio 2017's wizard, I
didn't change project property to multi-thread manually.

Thanks for these - I'll update INSTALL.

'Step Into' debug, such as: CXXFLAGS="-EHsc -Z7";

Is this one only needed if you want to write a multi-threaded program?
