[Patch]: Allow klish to try libbsdxml in addition to libexpat when libexpat or auto backend is selected

[Stanislav Galabov]

Hi all,

FreeBSD, at least 8.0+, ships with libbsdxml.so in its base system, which, according to the libbsdxml(3) man page is:

"The libbsdxml library is a verbatim copy of the eXpat XML library version 2.0.1".

Seeing as klish can be build with expat as an XML backend now I thought it might be useful to FreeBSD users out there to be able to autodetect and build against libbsdxml too.

I've tried this and it works - klish builds fine and is able to parse the XML files under xml-examples/test using libbsdxml.

This also makes it easier to cross-compile (I've tried it for ARM) klish on FreeBSD.

I've attached a patch for this change and I'd be happy if you guys find it useful and include it in klish mainline.

Best wishes,

Stanislav

Actually, after thinking a little more about it, I am attaching a second version of the patch, which would only check for libbsdxml.so if the target system is FreeBSD.

Best wishes,

Stanislav

I have applied your first patch with a little changes. Thanks. Please test it on FreeBSD. Git commit is 53073e25c43fefd8c59a9d4be95bdf74711c28db

I think it's no use to check for freebsd. Additionally AC_CANONICAL_TARGET has bad side effects while cross-compilation.

Thanks, Serj, it configures, builds and runs fine with both libbsdxml and libexpat on FreeBSD.

I also tried cross-compiling for ARM and it went well too.

Best wishes,
