[Icecast] libxml2 is required

[Tony Harding]

I have downloaded beta 3 and tried installing it on a spare Ubuntu VPS

 Ո

However is get the error in ./configure of:

 Ո

      configure: error: . libxml2 is required.

 Ո

But if I then tell my server to install it, it says it is already there

 Ո

 

===================================================================

configure: error: . libxml2 is required.

root at vs45:/icecast-2.4.99.3# apt install libxml2

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

libxml2 is already the newest version (2.9.10+dfsg-5ubuntu0.20.04.2).

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

  linux-image-4.15.0-99-generic linux-modules-4.15.0-99-generic ssl-cert

Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

===================================================================

 Ո

How can I get configure to progress past this error?

 Ո

Ubuntu 20.04.4 icecast-2.4.99.3

Tony

now after our beta release I can finally answer you. ;)

 Ո

Generally speaking 2.5 is mostly stable. However it does not have the

millions of hours of testing in tens of thousands of systems as 2.4. So

I would recommend to have a look at it. It should work just fine for

the majority of all users.

 Ո

No and yes.

 Ո

Let me explain this a bit:

 Ո

Icecast is developed by the Icecast Team, as part of the Xiph.Org

Foundation. Which for all important news uses the website and this

mailing list. And this is how it will stay.

 Ո

 Ո

However Löwenfelsen provides business support for the Foundation's

software, most prominently Icecast. This is something the Foundation

can hardly provide given it's community centric organisation.

 Ո

So at the page above you'll find *additional* stuff that Löwenfelsen

provides. E.g. the presentations¹. But this is additional content;

there is nothing taken away from the Icecast Project, just more stuff

added at another place with a slightly different target audience.

 Ո

 Ո

Hope that clarifies things a bit. I'm sure it is a bit of confusing,

also considering that I sometimes act in my role as (Icecast) developer

at the Foundation, and sometimes as co-worker of Löwenfelsen.

 Ո

 Ո

With best regards,

 Ո
