Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50291&edit=1 ID: 50291 Updated by: mike@php.net Reported by: vapier at gentoo dot org Summary: incorrect usage of autoconf diversions -Status: Re-Opened +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: Compile Failure Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: IIRC this is obsolete? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-10-12 16:00:04] reeves_28 at yahoo dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-25 11:12:57] mail at crick dot ru PS. 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.
