Chris Rose commented on AXIS2C-710:
-----------------------------------
I can confirm that this issue is present on RHEL3 and Solaris9 as well. The
configure script fails in both cases.
I didn't go the route that the submitter took; I built a standalone pkg-config
0.22 package as a pre-compilation step, but it's not an ideal solution.
Moreover, I had to specify the LIBXML2_* variables anyway, because our libxml2
libraries are in a non-standard location.
Lastly, all of this was despite building with --enable-libxml2=no
> pkg-config not detected properly during configure

> Key: AXIS2C-710
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-710
> Project: Axis2-C
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build system (Unix/Linux)
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 with pkgconfig-0.15 RPM
> installed
> Reporter: Stefano Pettini
>
> I cannot compile Axis2/C on RHEL4 because:
> checking for LIBXML2... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be
> found or is too old. Make sure it
> is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
> path to pkg-config.
> I don't see the need of version 0.20 or higher, since the installed version,
> 0.15, is able to retrieve LIBS and CFLAGS of libxml-2.0 without any problem.
> By the way:
> Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBXML2_CFLAGS
> and LIBXML2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
> See the pkg-config man page for more details.
> This doesn't work too, since I manually set those variables, here they are,
> just copied from "set" output:
> LIBXML2_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/libxml2
> LIBXML2_LIBS='-lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lm'
> But configure still try to use the pkg-config utility it doesn't like.
> Upgrading the RPM is not an option, this would require an upgraded C library
> too.
> I solved modifying the configure script of axiom, lowering the required
> pkg-config version from 0.20 to 0.15 and works perfectly. I think this fix
> should be included in next releases.
> Thank you!
