#43330 [Opn->Bgs]: configure stops if libxml2 not exists

ID: 43330 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de -Status: Open +Status: Bogus -Bug Type: *Compile Issues +Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: This is just how it works, nothing unexpected or buggy here. There are several xml extensions which are enabled by default. If you don't want them, just disable them. Or do what you did and always use --disable-all and enable what you really need.

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43330&edit=1
