[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43899] MXE: libxml2 version 2.9.2 won't build, 2.9.1 builds OK

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #43899 (project octave):

For the next libxml2 build log, that for version 1.9.1, I see:


:
Checking zlib
checking zlib.h usability... yes
checking zlib.h presence... yes
checking for zlib.h... yes
checking for gzread in -lz... yes
Checking lzma
:


and in the log/ directory I see:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 philip philip    18 Dec 28 17:01 xz -> 20141228_163208/xz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 philip philip    20 Dec 28 16:55 zlib -> 20141228_163208/zlib


...so xz and zlib were built and present. I can't find any spurious stuff in
the xz and zlib logs. I assume that the fact that they have entries in the
installed_packages/ subdir indicates they were built fine.

Hmmm. I have to conclude that on my box, somehow, MXE got confused.
But why a different libxml2 version makes all the difference is beyond me...

I'll leave this report open for a little longer, perhaps I can pinpoint the
issue somewhere.
