[xml] Building libxml2-2.6.16 on HP-UX 11i

[Øyvind Hvamstad <oyvind hvamstad net>]

Hi, I'm trying to build libxml2 with python bindings, zlib and iconv for
HP-UX.

<configure>
./configure --prefix=/h/dsbuild/hvaoyv/src/install/
--with-python=pythonloc --with-zlib=zlibloc --with-iconv=iconvloc
</configure>

First I am halted by an error with the linker:

/usr/bin/ld -b +h libxml2.sl.8
-o .libs/libxml2.sl.8.16  .libs/SAX.o .libs/entities.o .libs/encoding.o .libs/error.o .libs/parserInternals.o

-lm -lc
/usr/bin/ld: Invalid loader fixup in text space needed in output file
for symbol "$000003F1" in input file: ".libs/entities.o". Make sure it
was compiled with +z/+Z.

Then I set CFLAGS=+z and the make step completes, but when I do make
install it breaks with the following:

/fs/build/bin/install: .libs/libxml2mod.slT: No such file or directory

</snip>

.slT? What kind of file is that? I want it to say .sl. I suppose
something is wrong with libtool, or? Could anyone help? Also shouldn't
configure detect the need for +z?

In advance thanks..
