#22556 [Bgs->Opn]: configure file reports bogus mkdir -p failure

ID: 22556 User updated by: john345 at earthlink dot net Reported By: john345 at earthlink dot net -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: If it is done twice on purpose, then why do it at all? Doing it twice will always make the test fail. If the issue is the fact that mkdir -p complains when the directory already exists, test for the directory before trying to make it or send the error to dev/null. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-07 00:10:52] sniper@php.net It's actually intentionally done twice. Comment from acinclude.m4: "`mkdir -p' must be quiet about creating existing directories" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-06 15:05:08] john345 at earthlink dot net Tried php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz and the duplicate line is still in the configure file, just at a different line number, 83186. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-05 13:36:24] sniper@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip I think something like this was already fixed.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-05 13:29:41] john345 at earthlink dot net configure --without-mysql --with-pgsql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin reports that mkdir -p does not work. This is because there are two identical lines, one at line 82750 and one at 82751, that use mkdir -p to make comftestdir/somedir. The first one succeeds; the second one fails. The test to see if mkdir -p works is after the second line, so configure reports a failure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22556&edit=1
