             Summary: [patch] BuildSystem: Enable system provided libedit on OpenBSD.
                 Key: ASTERISK-27677
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-27677
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Core/BuildSystem
    Affects Versions: 13.19.1
         Environment: OpenBSD 6.2
            Reporter: Alexander Traud
            Severity: Critical


ASTERISK-18725 added the ability to leverage a system-provided libedit, instead of using the internal copy of Asterisk. For this, the tool pkg-config is required. On OpenBSD 6.2, both libedit and pkg-config are available by default. However, (perhaps) because libedit is an essential package and cannot be removed, pkg-config does not list libedit. Therefore, Asterisk did not find it and used its 15-year-old internal copy of libedit.

In Asterisk, libedit is a basic requirement. Because of ASTERISK-27634, Asterisk 16 is going to ship without an internal copy of libedit. Therefore, to continue to build Asterisk on OpenBSD, the attached patch is required.
