#4512: Dependency on xsltproc is critical to produce postgis.control
---------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  evgen    |      Owner:  pramsey
     Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium   |  Milestone:  PostGIS 3.0.0
Component:  postgis  |    Version:  trunk
 Keywords:           |
---------------------+---------------------------
 I tried to build posgis-3.0
 commit(a6bb23c883c317a50eed9a22ac2faf178c8fe90a) from sources.

 `./configure` allowed to build postgis without xsltproc. See output below.
 Then `make -j` compiled everything successfully without issues. And `sudo
 make install` installed it without single warning. However `alter
 extension postgis update;` returned an error:
 `ERROR:  could not open extension control file
 "/usr/share/postgresql/10/extension/postgis.control": No such file or
 directory`

 When I installed xsltproc, launched configure, make, sudo make install
 again - postgis.control appears in place along with all required sql
 files.

 `./configure` output without xsltproc:
 {{{
 PostGIS is now configured for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
