In the v5.30.0 tag, I found that xmllint is required but the CMake buildsystem doesn't require it.
xmllint is part of libxml2, which is checked. Does your distribution split it?
yes, I think its in libxml2-utils on ubuntu 14.04
Confirmed, see the proposed review https://phabricator.kde.org/D4558 .
Git commit d7e0d20ae5f63a842f3543a8f0eef9afd54e0dbe by Luigi Toscano. Committed on 11/02/2017 at 14:39. Pushed by ltoscano into branch 'master'. Fail the build early if xmllint is not available Summary: xmllint is required later anyway, and kio_help has the check. Test Plan: If xmllint is not available, compilation fails in the cmake phase.
