#19577 [Bgs]: Compile PHP

ID: 19577 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: Martin.Schmitz@Uni-Bielefeld.de Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Good that you mentioned Oracle libs. It's not possible to have those available at php.net as they are licensed and NOT FREE. Same applies to most of the non-os libraries too. One good thing would be a general list of URLs where to find them. (you can download the 650MB oracle package for 'free' but you need to register there first) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-25 02:32:42] Martin.Schmitz@Uni-Bielefeld.de I don't have problems to compile PHP (the scripts running good, and the error-messages are OK). But the problem is to get all libs. (If I want to compile oracle support, I have to install the oracle clients, and installing oracle isn't easy, and it costs recouces). Perhaps my problem is solved if the neccecary libs are downloadable from the PHP-site? (btw. thank's for such a quick answer. Good support!!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-24 10:47:34] sniper@php.net Getting it to work would require quite a lot of work and testing. And still it wouldn't work for everybody. It's really easy to compile it yourself anyway. As long as you have the necessary libraries and such. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-24 08:31:23] Martin.Schmitz@Uni-Bielefeld.de Dear developers ...this is not a bug, but I want to beg you to install a compiling service (perheps a payable). If somebody wants to compile some options for PHP it needs a lot of stuff (e.g. PDF or Oracle support). So I think it will be a good idea if there is the possibility to select a preferred PHP-constellation in a form, and then download the compiled libphp.so (like for MAC-systems). Is it possible to implement such a service?? Hope to hear from you...
