configure script no longer honors exclusions

Open chowbok opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug

Trying to run the configure script without libxml2 or xmlsec1 on the system fails, even when specifying --without-xml2 or --without-xmlsec1. It still says to specify those options, even if you already have.

This bug was introduced sometime between 12.3.5 and 12.4.0.

Reproduction steps

./configure --without-xml2

Expected behavior

Should successfully configure

Additional context

VGAuthService needs libxml2 and xmlsec dev header and lib files. Without them, you can't build OVT.

It probably shouldn't offer those as options, then.
