#19003 [Opn->Bgs]: cannot edit Makefile (post-configure) - line too long

ID: 19003 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: vlb@cfcl.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Compile Issues Operating System: Tru64 Unix PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: You really shouldn't be editing the Makefile for any reason. If you need to add an include, set it in your CFLAGS env variable. Any settings in any of the tracked env vars listed at the end of ./configure --help will be recorded in your config.nice file so you can repeat the same configure later on. Simply save your config.nice and re-use it instead of hacking the Makefile. We may take a look at that particular line at some point, but overall this is a rather bogus bug.

This line is > 2048 characters. If any other part of the Makefile is edited post-configure (e.g. to add a local include file at the FRONT of the INCLUDES list), vi (OK, yes, I use vi) breaks the PHP_GLOBAL_OBJS line. This results in a Make error. Attempts to join the PHP_GLOBALS_OBJS paarts together again cause vi to complain The result of a line join would be greater than 2048 characters. OK, I should be using nvi or emacs and certainky not Tru64Unix but it's not like I have a lot of choice. Please break up the PHP_GLOBAL_OBJS variable setting into more manageable pieces. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19003&edit=1
