#43330 [NEW]: configure stops if libxml2 not exists

From: carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de Operating system: FreeBSD PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: *Compile Issues Bug description: configure stops if libxml2 not exists Description: ------------ Hello, assume, libxml2 is not installed on a box. Regards, Carsten Reproduce code: --------------- If I use: | % ./configure --prefix=/foo/bar --disable-all "configure" and "make && make install" works fine. Thus we can say: libxml2 is not necessary for PHP. Now I just use: | % ./configure --prefix=/foo/bar and "configure" stops with: | configure: error: xml2-config not found.\ | Please check your libxml2 installation. Expected result: ---------------- "configure" should notice that libxml2 is not availible, and should just disable the extensions which need this library and not stop the build process. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43330&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43330&r=mysqlcfg
