[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-29970) Use pkg-config to find libxml2 headers and libraries

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

Hi all,

This will not work when libxml2 is static, because Asterisk doesn't call pkg-config with the "--static" argument, so it'll miss out on some flags (the flags are provided when using xml2-config). Any thoughts on this?

Kind regards,
Seb

> Debian will stop packaging xml2-config in the Bookworm development cycle. Once this occurs, Ubuntu and other derivatives will follow, as they track Debian packages.
> Asterisk currently fails to build from source without xml2-config, so we need to detect libxml2 via pkg-config, falling back to xml2-config for systems without pkg-config.
