            Bug ID: 259190
           Summary: multimedia/libmedianfo: aborts with linking error on
                    xml files
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: will@worrbase.com

libmediainfo will abort with the following linking error any time it's
requested to scan an XML file:
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libmediainfo.so.0: Undefined symbol "tfsxml_init"

This appears to be a function that comes from a bundled xml library in
libmediainfo:
https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfoLib/blob/1fc644e9579d1362fafeb2add6b54993d6fc677a/Source/ThirdParty/tfsxml/tfsxml.h

It appears that the port enables tinyxml2 support in the default build:
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/multimedia/libmediainfo/Makefile#n21

Recently, a patch landed in upstream that compiles in tfsxml even when tinyxml2
is used to resolve this issue:
https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfoLib/pull/1434/commits/038dff8433053aada3e8bf34655e2cec67305c5c

It does not appear that a new version with this patch has been cut. Is it
possible to backport this patch to fix this breakage? It's not clear when
they'll cut a new release.

Thanks a ton

multimedia/libmediainfo-21.09 on FreeBSD 13-RELEASE-p4.
