Description:	There seems to be some changes to menuselect with the "git" Asterisk coupled with the fact we are cross-compiling. 1) Asterisk 11.18.0-rc1 menuselect configure now requires libxml2, but does not need it.  Possibly 1.8 built from "git" has the same problem. 2) Asterisk 11.18.0-rc1 menuselect/bootstrap.sh does not generate the proper configure script, but the pre-built configure script seems to work.  The resulting "bootstrap.sh" configure is missing the "SED" definition and the foo to generate it.  The build error look like: {noformat} checking for curses.h... yes checking for initscr in -lncurses... yes checking for curses.h... (cached) yes checking for xml2-config... /usr/bin/xml2-config ./configure: line 4549: -e: command not found ./configure: line 4553: -e: command not found configure: error: Could not find required 'Libxml2' development package {noformat} In our Buildroot build system we are able to unnecessarily build "host-libxml2" to satisfy #1 and no longer perform a "menuselect/bootstrap.sh" to satisify #2, but regardless I'm reporting a change in menuselect.
Comments:	By: abelbeck (abelbeck) 2015-05-23 12:06:41.786-0500 Sorry, it seems menuselect configure now *does* require libxml2 for 11.18.0-rc1, this is a change. Question, will any future 1.8.x security versions also require libxml2 for menuselect ? By: Rusty Newton (rnewton) 2015-06-01 18:36:35.624-0500 That change wouldn't be made to 1.8 unless it fixed a security issue. I don't know of a current issue that would require that.
