I was only interested in the lib itself, so I can't speak for the tools.

I can confirm that libxml2 is not found due to the lack of pkg-config.

Additionally, as explained in my last mail, I had to patch
lib/byte_conversions.h as shown below.

About your "Symbol not found: _iconv_open" problem, this hit to me too
when I linked against hivex. It's due to a missing -liconv on platforms
where this is needed.
