When trying to build the Unix QuickFIX engine, I get the following error after ./bootstrap
warning:macro 'AM_PATH_XML2' not found in library
As I understand, libxml2 already comes with XCode OS X Mountain Lion. An answer I found suggested to download libxml2-dev, although I could not find the package using HomeBrew.
I'm relatively new to programming on OS X and Xcode and porting Unix applications, so I'm not sure exactly what I have yet.

OS X comes with libxml2 installed, but it's in /usr/include/libxml2 .
You can use an existing directory which is already in the path, such as C:\WINDOWS . You can also create a new directory for libxml and place the files there, but be sure to modify the PATH environment variable and add that new directory to its list.
libxml2 is a software library for parsing XML documents. It is also the basis for the libxslt library which processes XSLT-1.0 stylesheets.
Locate where you can get the latest version of the software. (From google, libxml2 webpage is here: http://www.xmlsoft.org/downloads.html. From there, you can find the ftp location where you can download the software.
I did a
brew install libxml2
Then poking around I found the macro AM_PATH_XML2 in /usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.8.0/share/aclocal/libxml.m4. Which is all the dev package contents, then I compared to my Ubuntu/Vagrant virtual I have locally that was working fine and remembered to:
brew link --force libxml2
which put the symlink in /usr/local/share/aclocal.
And now I'm building, but I also needed automaker, so to recap
brew install automake autoconf libtool libxml2
brew link libxml2
