Bug #16251 Updated: config.guess returns value incompatible with configure

ID: 16251 Updated by: cynic@php.net Reported By: Pavel.Zakouril@mff.cuni.cz Status: Analyzed Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Operating System: UnixWare 7.1.1 PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: patches to the faulty third-party tools would be better IMO. consider a manual fix applied to configure.in (or whatever) in a release, and this typical scenario: "PHP v. X.Y.Z, feature foo doesn't work" "can you try a snapshot?" "i can't configure it" "um, yes. hack configure.in this and that way, and rerun buildconf" manual "hacks" to released sources would mean much less testing IMNSHO.

On UnixWare 7.1.1 config.guess returns value i486-unknown-sysv5UnixWare7.1.1 , but configure script expects on this operating system value of type i486-unknown-sysv5uw7.1.1 So --host=i486-unknown-sysv5uw7.1.1 must be specified to get correct configuration on this system. This behavior is at least since PHP 4.0.6 and in 4.2.0RC1 is still present. Probably the same problem is on any version of UnixWare including Caldera OpenUNIX 8. Config.guess should be modified to return e.g. sysv5uw7 (i.e. uw instead of UnixWare).
