not finding libxml2?

[dcollinsLMC]

I have installed libxml2 via homebrew (brew install libxml2). I am still getting this message:

@dcollinsLMC homebrew-asterisk uses the system installed OS X, instead of the version installed by Homebrew. What versions of Xcode and macOS/OS X are you running on? Did you install the Xcode command line tools (xcode-select --install)?

[dcollinsLMC]

Yes I have run xcode-select --install. I am running Mac OS X 10.11.6 and Xcode 8.0. Just tried it again after running brew uninstall libxml2, same result.

[dcollinsLMC]

Well, I upgraded to 10.12 (Sierra), did xcode-select --install, and it now builds. Hooray!

Yay! 👏🏻

Just ran into this myself.

Appears to be an incompatibility between Xcode 8 and Mac OS X 10.11 (or CLT 7.3.1). Looks like the solution is to a) upgrade to Sierra b) downgrade to Xcode 7 c) change homebrew-asterisk to use the homebrew version of libxml2.

I may be stuck on El Capitan for some time, so I might try going down path c.

[leedm777]

Whelp. Looks like Asterisk does some path munging to work better with cross-compiling. It's not immediately clear how to fix it for homebrew and not break cross compiling.
