#42195 [NEW]: c++ compiler needed ?

From: jeremy dot jacque at maximo dot fr Operating system: AIX 5.1 PHP version: 5CVS-2007-08-03 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Bug description: c++ compiler needed ? Description: ------------ when running configure and entering the "Configuring libtool" part, an error occured because i do not have access to an c++ compiler. By just suppressing the lines referring to c++, it works great, so the c++ search in configure shouldn't just be optional ?? One more thing, i'm compiling using the native AIX compiler and linker, and in order to link correctly i use the cheat i saw in bug report 39187 (change sed 's/\([A-Za-z0-9_]*\)\.lo/\1.o/g' by sed 's/\([A-Za-z0-9_]*\)\.lo/.libs\/\1.o/g' in the BUILD_CLI part of the configure. When compiling proftpd on the same machine, their configure report this: "checking for objdir... .libs" Sould it be possible to integrate such a test in your script? Thank in advance.
