Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39388&edit=1 ID: 39388 User updated by: crrodriguez at opensuse dot org Reported by: crrodriguez at opensuse dot org 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: tcallawa at redhat dot com : Great, patches look OK, will try them asap in openSUSE packages. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-20 15:54:40] tcallawa at redhat dot com 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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-06 08:33:48] oeriksson at mandriva dot com With the recent security flaws related to libzip it's desirable to enable this option. 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] crrodriguez at opensuse dot org 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
