Alexander Traud commented on ASTERISK-27475:
--------------------------------------------

Can someone re-open this report and update the version numbers? Sean reverted the change (thanks for that) and the change did not made it into an Asterisk release. After fixing a lot of issues in the build system, I still do not have an approach for this either. AC_LINK_IFELSE sounds promising, but I have not tested it, yet. Until then, another approach would be at least to update the comment/info for opus_codec in Menuselect.

bq. This issue got missed because libcurl is installed as default on many Linux distributions, even on your Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Desktops.

Since Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, a minimal installation option exists. With that libcurl is not installed on default. One has to go for{code}sudo apt install libcurl4{code}

> If libcurl is not present on the platform when building Asterisk everything will still build and codec_opus will be downloaded however there will be not translation path available for Opus.
> Reason is that Opus requires libcurl. Once libcurl is installed then Opus will show up in the translation path.
> Probably should be documented or stated as a requirement next to xmlstarlet in the menuselect options.
