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

ID: 22556 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: john345 at earthlink dot net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: Yeah, right. But it's still not a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-07 16:54:51] john345 at earthlink dot net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
