Bug #50291 [Com]: incorrect usage of autoconf diversions

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50291&edit=1 ID: 50291 Comment by: reeves_28 at yahoo dot com Reported by: vapier at gentoo dot org Summary: incorrect usage of autoconf diversions Status: Re-Opened Type: Bug Package: Compile Failure Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: One to make it compile is to run grep -Rn "divert(" and comment out all lines in the *.m4 and *.in files that show up. There should be only three files that actuall need changed. Ignore /ext/fileinfo/tests/magic this doesn't affect the compile. You will get a lot of warnings from autoconf but it will compile.

I mean the patch to compile only with autoconf> 2.6.4, not for both post and pre. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-25 11:09:15] mail at crick dot ru Can I ask post here a patch that will allow PHP to compile with autoconf version> 2.6? I think it will be useful to many users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-25 01:21:24] rasmus@php.net I spent quite a while on it. I couldn't come up with a viable way to support both pre and post autoconf-2.64 so it is either/or at this point. Every distro has pre- 2.64, not everyone has post 2.64. We will eventually be able to make a clean break, but it definitely won't be in 5.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-24 23:41:25] mail at crick dot ru This annoying bug is still there. How about solutions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-10 19:58:16] scottmac@php.net This got lost when we re-branched trunk from 5_3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
