Bug #39388 [Com]: provide --with-libzip-dir configure option to allow usage of system's libzip

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39388&edit=1 ID: 39388 Comment by: tcallawa at redhat dot com Reported by: judas dot iscariote at gmail dot com Summary: provide --with-libzip-dir configure option to allow usage of system's libzip Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Zip Related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5CVS-2006-11-05 (CVS) Assigned To: pajoye Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It doesn't look like 0.10 will work with PHP's zip extension out of the tarball, because it is still missing some necessary features that were never upstreamed (as far as I can tell). I've worked up a patch against 0.10 that adds the necessary functionality, and sent a copy to the libzip upstream for consideration. A copy of that patch can be found here: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/libzip-0.10-php-changes.patch Then, I reworked ext/zip/config.m4 to enable an option to use libzip (the system copy). That patch is here: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/php-5.3.6-libzip.patch I couldn't figure out a good way to test for overwrite support (the bits that the first patch add), so the configure tests will pass on a system libzip without the php changes applied, but I don't think the compile will succeed (it definitely won't work properly).

Isn't the latest http://www.nih.at/libzip/libzip-0.10.tar.bz2 going to work fine now? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-05 19:21:28] pajoye@php.net There is no need of it. And no, you should *really* not use an external library. The version bundled have more fixes and features than the released lib. Most of them are already in the libzip cvs, other not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-05 03:50:59] judas dot iscariote at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Currently there is no --with-libzip-dir to easily allow distributions to use independantly packaged system libraries. Reproduce code: --------------- ./configure --help | grep zip Expected result: ---------------- --enable-zip Include Zip read/write support. --with-zlib-dir=DIR zip: Set the path to libz install prefix. --with-libzip=DIR zip : path to libzip sources if not using the bundled library. Actual result: -------------- --enable-zip Include Zip read/write support. --with-zlib-dir=DIR zip: Set the path to libz install prefix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39388&edit=1
