mapserver 7.2: libxml2 no longer optional

Open gogglesguy opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Compilation of mapserver 7.0.x with "WITH_WMS=ON WITH_LIBXML2=OFF" was still supported. With mapserver 7.2, libxml2 now became a required dependency (even with WITH_WMS=OFF) due to non conditional usage of libxml2 in mapmetadata.c.

What action is recommended? Something to add to the documentation?

Still listed as optional in 8.0, maybe @tomkralidis can comment... I'd have to try compiling a super vanilla version otherwise.
