The diffs to the build and libxml2.md file look fine to me. With your patch applied, it builds fine on Mac, Windows, and Oracle Linux, but not on Ubuntu 16.04. I traced the problem to this line in the newly added libxslt/linux/config.h file: /* Define to 1 if you have the <ansidecl.h> header file. */ #define HAVE_ANSIDECL_H 1 This is defined on Windows (which is fine), but not defined on Mac (which is also fine as that file is not present). I suspect it should not be defined on Linux, either. A test build on Ubuntu with that line deleted ran fine. Can you comment on this?
