#37177 [NoF->Bgs]: with-libxml option in ./configure ignored

ID: 37177 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported By: mhalligan at bitpusher dot com -Status: No Feedback +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: SuSE Linux Enterprise 9 SP3 PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: I believe this problem is bogus, although initially I did suffer its wrath. Today I added some documentation that may help: http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=289134 In short: If PHP cannot find bin/xml2-config in the directory specified by --with-libxml-dir, it'll continue on and check the default locations. So for those suffering from this issue, keep that in mind, and ensure xml2-config exists there. For those using packages/RPMs, ensure the -dev version is installed too.

Yes, I can successfully configure and compile it even without libxml2 installed in the system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-24 10:11:46] mhalligan at bitpusher dot com Do you already have libxml2 installed? I have the normal libxml2 isntallation on my servers that come with suse. I can compile fine if I remove them, however, if I don't, PHP's configure always finds /usr/sbin/xml-config first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-24 10:03:44] tony2001@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.1-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.1-win32-latest.zip What am I doing wrong? # ./configure --disable-all --enable-xml --with-libxml-dir=/tmp/libxml --enable-libxml | grep xml checking libxml2 install dir... /tmp/libxml checking for xml2-config path... /tmp/libxml/bin/xml2-config checking whether libxml build works... yes checking for xml2-config path... (cached) /tmp/libxml/bin/xml2-config checking whether libxml build works... (cached) yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-24 09:51:29] mhalligan at bitpusher dot com Ignore the "../php-build.sh: line 3: --with-openssl: command not found" section, that was me cutting and pasting from an older session. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that php's ./configure script is rather broken. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
