-------------------------------------

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 ?

> 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.
